Let’s face it—no one is trying to look “frozen.” What most of us want is to look refreshed, lifted, and more like ourselves on a really good day. That’s where dermal fillers come in. When done right, they’re one of the most natural-looking, confidence-boosting treatments you can add to your skincare plan.
At the Institute for Functional Health MedSpa, we believe in personalized, subtle enhancements that honor your natural features. If you’ve ever been filler-curious but unsure of what to expect, you’re in the right place!
What Are Dermal Fillers, Really?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Most modern fillers are made of hyaluronic acid—a substance that naturally occurs in your skin and helps retain moisture.
When strategically placed, fillers can:
- Plump up areas that have lost volume
- Soften lines and creases
- Enhance lips, cheeks, jawlines, and more
- Create a more youthful, rested appearance—without surgery
They’re a go-to part of many medspa services because they deliver instant results with little to no downtime.
Where Can Dermal Fillers Be Used?
While lips and cheeks tend to get the spotlight, dermal fillers are incredibly versatile. Some of the most common treatment areas include:
- Lips: Add volume, define shape, or correct asymmetry
- Cheeks: Restore contour and lift
- Nasolabial folds: Smooth lines from the nose to the mouth
- Marionette lines: Soften downward lines from the corners of the mouth
- Under-eyes: Reduce hollowness or shadowing
- Chin and jawline: Enhance definition and balance facial proportions
- Hands: Rejuvenate volume loss for a smoother appearance
The key is customization—your face is unique, and your treatment should be too.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
One of the best things about dermal fillers is that the results are long-lasting but not permanent. Most fillers last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.
Because the body gradually breaks down the filler over time, many patients choose to come in for periodic touch-ups to maintain their results.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
The process is simple and typically takes less than an hour.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Consultation: We’ll talk about your goals and map out a personalized plan
- Treatment: A trained provider will inject the filler using a fine needle or cannula
- Aftercare: Mild swelling or bruising is possible but usually fades quickly
- Results: You’ll see immediate volume and contour, with full results settling in over a few days
We prioritize comfort and natural-looking outcomes. You’ll leave looking like you—just refreshed.
