What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are medical-grade, FDA-approved, injectable treatments that restore volume, plump skin, and smooth fine lines. Fillers are synthetic substances that occur naturally in the body and are biocompatible, making them safe and effective. This minimally invasive treatment provides long-lasting results without surgery.

Key Target Areas for Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers in Raleigh & Cary, NC with Dr. Anu Antony can effectively target various areas of the face and body. Common areas for treatment include:

  • Forehead: By strategically injecting fillers into specific areas, we can smooth brow wrinkles and restore youthful contours. Fillers can also help lift sagging skin or enhance facial symmetry.
  • Cheeks: Restore volume to the cheeks, enhancing and rejuvenating the midface area.
  • Lips: Add refreshing plumpness to the lips, creating a fuller, more defined lip contour.
  • Nose: Soften the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, restoring a smoother and more vigorous appearance, or treat minor nose shape issues (non-surgical rhinoplasty).
  • Jawline: Define and sculpt the jawline, improving facial harmony.
  • Hands: Dermal fillers offer a safe solution to plump the skin, restore hand volume loss, and address prominent veins and visible tendons. 

Types of Dermal Fillers

Dr. Antony offers a curated selection of today’s most advanced dermal fillers, each designed to target specific aesthetic goals with natural-looking results. During your consultation, she will recommend the best option—or combination—for your needs.

A versatile family of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based fillers, JUVÉDERM smooths wrinkles, enhances lips, and restores facial volume.

  • Voluma™: Adds lift and contour to the cheeks.

  • Volbella™: Smooths fine lip lines and enhances lip shape.
  • Ultra™: Ideal for fuller lip augmentation and softening smile lines.

RHA® Collection

This resilient hyaluronic acid line is designed to adapt to facial movement for results that look refined at rest and in motion.

Your Dermal Filler Journey

During your dermal filler treatment, Dr. Antony will begin by conducting a thorough consultation to assess your concerns and goals. Based on your aesthetic vision, she will recommend the most appropriate filler and treatment plan. The filler is then injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. Topical numbing agents may be used to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Depending on the size of the treated area,  treatment can last anywhere from half an hour to about an hour long. Depending on the treatment, most patients can return to their daily routine immediately. 

Refreshing Results with Dermal Fillers

Following your dermal filler treatment, you will see immediate improvements in the treated areas, with optimal results appearing over the following weeks. Depending on the type of filler used and the treated area, results can last from six months to several years. Dr. Antony will provide personalized guidance on maintaining your results and schedule follow-up treatments as needed.

When to Consider Dermal Fillers, not BOTOX

Dermal fillers are ideal for resolving volume loss, smoothing established creases, rebalancing the face, and treating facial asymmetry. While dermal fillers target volume loss and static wrinkles, BOTOX treats dynamic wrinkles—lines and creases caused by repetitive facial motions. 

BOTOX relaxes facial muscles and may be able to prevent lines from forming or deepening, but it does not restore volume. BOTOX is often used to smooth lines on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes, providing a more relaxed and refreshed appearance. Both treatments can also be used in combination to achieve optimal results.

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can be used to treat a variety of facial areas, including the cheeks, lips, jawline, chin, and the lines around the mouth and nose (nasolabial folds). They can also be used to fill in hollows under the eyes.

What is the difference between dermal fillers and BOTOX?

Dermal fillers work by adding volume to fill in wrinkles and plump up the skin. BOTOX is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. They are often used together to achieve a more comprehensive rejuvenation.

How long do the results of dermal fillers last?

The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism. Results typically last from six months to a year or more.

How long does the procedure take?

A dermal filler procedure is a quick, in-office treatment. The injections can take as little as 15 to 30 minutes, making it an excellent 'lunchtime' option.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes. When administered by a skilled and experienced professional like Dr. Antony, dermal fillers are a safe and effective treatment. Most modern fillers are made from substances that are naturally found in the body, such as hyaluronic acid, which minimizes the risk of allergic reactions.
