What Are Dermal Fillers And How Do They Work
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that restore volume under the skin and reduce fine lines and wrinkles that appear with age. Most dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, making them generally safe for most people.
Different dermal fillers use specific substances to achieve certain aesthetic effects for parts of the body. The dermal filler injection process is generally quick with minimal pain and discomfort, with results quickly becoming apparent and lasting for months.
Dermal Filler Benefits
This particular cosmetic treatment has become popular for a reason. After a session at your dermal filler clinic, you can expect multiple aesthetic benefits such as:
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Restore a smoother and youthful complexion
- Add volume to thin lips to make them fuller and more youthful-looking
- Add volume to areas of the face, such as the cheeks or temples, that have lost fat or collagen due to aging
- Improve the appearance of scars
- Adjust facial contour and shape to correct asymmetries and improve appearance
Dermal Fillers Available at Team Dermatology
Team Dermatology’s experts will help patients determine what the best dermal filler is for their specific cosmetic needs.
Hyaluronic acid
A naturally occurring substance that hydrates and plumps the skin, hyaluronic acid is the scientific name of the dermal filler that comes in several brands such as Restylane®, Juvederm®, and RHA Collection®. These hyaluronic acid fillers can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, plumpe thin lips, and add volume to areas that have lost fat or collagen due to aging.
Restylane®
Restylane® is the pioneering hyaluronic acid filler that has repeatedly proven to be a reliable, quick, and effective cosmetic treatment. It has numerous applications ranging from under-eye hollows and nasolabial folds to lips, chin, marionette lines, cheeks, and even the backs of the hands.
There are many formulations of Restylane® for specific applications. The family of dermal fillers includes Restylane-L, Contour, and Lyft:
- Restylane-L softens fine lines and is used as a lip filler.
- Restylane Contour adds definition and shape to the cheeks.
- Restylane Lyft provides lifting and volume restoration for areas like the cheeks, midface, and hands.
Restylane® dermal fillers restore natural shape and contours; they can provide subtle changes or dramatic transformations depending on the requirements of the patient.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® dermal fillers are made from lactic acid, a natural substance found in the body, making it biocompatible and biodegradable and lessening the chances of allergic reactions or complications. It restores natural collagen, the fibrous protein responsible for skin shape and structure and helps resist the signs of aging.
Over the years, people lose portions of their natural collagen, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. Sculptra® stimulates the growth of natural collagen in those areas, reforming the networks supporting the inner structure of the skin. This lets Sculptra® soften smile lines, restore cheek volume, or refresh appearances, resulting in a subtle transformation that gives patients more youthful looks.
Radiesse®
Radiesse® utilizes calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres to build up the structural contours of the face while stimulating both collagen and elastin production, delivering immediate, natural, and subtle results that improve skin firmness and elasticity.
This dermal filler treatment is ideal for: smile lines, corners of the mouth, marionette lines, pre-jowl folds, and chin wrinkles. Along with facial rejuvenation, Radiesse® is also used for hand augmentation, giving natural-looking results with minimal downtime.

Long-lasting Dermal Filler Injections
Team Dermatology dermal filler doctors will take into account several factors that contribute to how long dermal fillers last, from the type of filler used to the speed of the patient’s body metabolism, which will affect how fast the body will process the filler material. Generally, fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years.
Choosing the Safest Dermal Fillers
No procedure is without risks of side effects or complications, but due diligence and choosing experienced and skilled medical dermal filler injectors will reduce the likelihood of issues, so patients will have worry-free dermal filler injections.
Certain types of fillers have higher chances of causing reactions, such as synthetic fillers like PMMA, which have been linked to a higher risk of complications and allergic reactions.
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are typically considered safer and are more widely used because they are derived from a substance that naturally occurs in the human body.
