What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments to restore lost facial volume, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Aging leads to a decline in collagen, fat, and bone density, which are key to facial structure and youthful skin. Dermal fillers replenish this volume and stimulate skin hydration and elasticity depending on their formulation.
The most used fillers provide immediate volume and corrective effects. Sculptra, a unique collagen stimulator, works differently by encouraging your body to produce its own collagen gradually for longer-lasting, natural rejuvenation.
Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can improve many areas, including:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines (around the mouth)
- Lip enhancement and smoothing perioral lines
- Under-eye hollows
- Cheeks, temples, mid-face contouring
- Jawline and chin augmentation
- Hand rejuvenation
- Scar improvement including acne scars and stretch marks
Result longevity depends on the filler type, treatment area, and metabolism, generally lasting from 3 to 12 months for most fillers and up to two or more years with collagen-stimulating options like Sculptra.
Types of Dermal Fillers at Sandy Key Medical
Restylane Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
The Restylane® family of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers was created by the well-known pharmaceutical company Galderma and is among the most popular dermal filler types for reducing fine lines and wrinkles and enhancing facial contours. Restylane injectables produce overall skin renewal for a more youthful complexion.
Restylane-L
Restylane®-L is exceptional at correcting moderate facial wrinkles, especially around the corners of the mouth and underneath the eyes. Its cosmetic effects last approximately 6 to 9 months. This formula is compounded with lidocaine to minimize potential discomfort associated with injections.
Restylane Lyft
Restylane® Lyft has a relatively large particle size compared to other dermal fillers. It’s ideal for treating deep wrinkles and volume loss on the face and hands. The cosmetic effects of Restylane Lyft typically last 9 to 12 months.
Restylane Silk
Restylane® Silk is formulated with a smaller molecular size, making it ideal for fine lines, especially around the nose, eyes, and mouth.
Restylane Refyne and Defyne
Restylane® Refyne and Defyne are the newest Restylane products. They were designed with XpresHAn Technology™, which allows for easy facial movements when the product is injected. Refyne treats moderate lines and wrinkles, whereas Defyne is used for moderate to deep wrinkles.
Restylane Kysse
Restylane® Kysse was specifically designed for the delicate skin of the lips and is perfect for creating pillowy, luscious, irresistible lip enhancements. With its innovative XpresHAn Technology, Kysse provides instant volume and hydration to your pout while maintaining a natural look and feel. Due to its unique formulation, Kysse molds to your natural tissues, requiring less product to achieve optimal results.
Restylane Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Our selection of hyaluronic acid fillers hydrates and volumizes the skin, providing immediate smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines with natural-looking results. These fillers are reversible and well-tolerated, making them a versatile choice for many facial areas.
The Revance RHA® collection, including RHA 2, RHA 3, and RHA 4, are the first and only dermal fillers that are FDA-approved to treat dynamic facial wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles refer to the lines and creases on your face due to regular movements, such as smile and frown lines. Their unique power lies in their ability to strengthen and stretch the skin due to their resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA) formulation. RHA smooths and lifts facial folds and creases while allowing you to continue expressing yourself and avoiding a frozen or overexaggerated appearance.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra is a biocompatible, FDA-approved dermal filler made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), which stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production over time. Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra gradually restores facial volume with a subtle, natural lift that can last two years or more.
Ideal for treating areas with volume loss such as:
- Cheeks and mid-face
- Temples
- Jawline and chin
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
Sculptra’s collagen-enhancing effects improve skin texture and thickness, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin without an immediate plumping effect. Typically, results build gradually after a series of treatments scheduled a few weeks apart.
How Do Dermal Fillers Differ from Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators like Botox® relax muscle contractions to prevent and treat dynamic wrinkles created by facial movement (e.g., crow’s feet, forehead lines). Dermal fillers, conversely, restore lost volume and smooth static wrinkles from aging and collagen depletion.
Many patients achieve the best rejuvenation results by combining both treatments, as they target different aging signs.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers suit those who:
- Want to restore youthfulness by replenishing lost volume
- Desire to soften wrinkles and enhance facial contours naturally
- Have realistic expectations about temporary results
- Are non-pregnant, not breastfeeding, and do not have contraindications, such as blood-thinning medications or supplements
Our experts will carefully review your medical history and goals during your consultation to tailor treatment safely and effectively.
What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Appointment
Our skilled nurse practitioners will discuss your aesthetic goals and personalize your treatment plan. The targeted areas will be cleansed and marked, then the filler will be injected using an ultra-fine needle with precision and minimal discomfort. After treatment, areas will be gently massaged and aftercare guidelines provided.
Most patients tolerate the procedure well with minimal side effects like slight swelling or bruising that resolve quickly. We recommend maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months for lasting results.

Results from dermal fillers can last from six months to two years, depending on the filler type and the area targeted. Our experienced nurse practitioners typically recommend a six- to 12-month maintenance schedule to sustain your results and prevent future signs of aging.
Sculptra works gradually by stimulating collagen, so visible improvements appear over several weeks to months after treatment, with full results developing typically after 3 sessions scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Most fillers contain a numbing agent, and the injections are performed with ultra-fine needles. Patients generally experience only mild discomfort or a slight pinch during the procedure.
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if necessary. Sculptra, being a collagen stimulator, cannot be reversed but offers gradual, natural-looking results.
When administered by skilled injectors, dermal fillers produce subtle, natural enhancements that balance and highlight your features, avoiding an overfilled or artificial look.
Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, vitamin E, or fish oil, for at least a week before treatment to reduce bruising risk. Always follow your practitioner’s specific instructions.
Yes, certain fillers, especially collagen stimulators like Sculptra, can improve skin thickness and reduce the appearance of scars, including acne scars and surgical scars, by promoting collagen production.
