Dermal Fillers at a Glance
THE FACTS: Injectable dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected underneath your skin to change its appearance. They’re a popular and minimally invasive treatment for wrinkles. As you age, skin that sags or wrinkles can be caused by loss of fat and proteins in the skin layer. Injectables can’t permanently replace lost fat and proteins, but they can mimic your skin’s original structure.

Before Your Appointment
Avoid using aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen), St. John's wort, or high doses of vitamin E supplements. These agents may increase bruising and bleeding at the injection site.
Your Dermal Filler Procedure
At our med spa in Burbank dermal filler treatments have become a cornerstone in the realm of aesthetic enhancements, providing individuals with an array of benefits to restore volume, reduce wrinkles, and achieve a revitalized appearance. Understanding what to expect from a dermal filler treatment journey is pivotal in embracing the transformative possibilities.
As soon as the filler is injected, noticeable changes can be observed. Whether it's plumping lips, smoothing nasolabial folds, or enhancing cheek contours, the effects are often visible instantly.
As the filler settles and integrates with the natural tissues, the treated areas continue to refine, offering a more natural and harmonious outcome. Usually, patients can resume their daily activities almost immediately after the procedure. This convenience makes dermal fillers an attractive option for those with busy lifestyles. While some fillers offer effects for several months, others can provide results that endure for a year or more. Periodic touch-ups can help maintain the desired look.
With dermal fillers Burbank patients have the luxury of choosing versatile treatments that can address a wide range of aesthetic concerns:
At SKINN Aesthete in Burbank, our expert injectors tailor each treatment to address your specific concerns and achieve natural-looking results.
Where can they be used?
Dermal fillers are versatile and can be used across a broad age range. Younger candidates may use them for preventive purposes or to address specific concerns, while older individuals often seek them for overall facial rejuvenation.
Good candidates typically have reasonably healthy skin. Dermal fillers work best when applied to skin with mild to moderate signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of volume.
Dermal fillers address the restoration of volume and fullness in areas like cheeks, lips, and temples, providing a more youthful and lifted appearance to prevent collagen loss.
Dermal fillers, especially those containing hyaluronic acid, fill in and smooth out lines, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles for a rejuvenated look. They can also be strategically injected to contour and shape facial features, such as the jawline, chin, and nose, achieving a balanced and aesthetically pleasing profile.
Dermal filler treatments typically have minimal downtime, allowing individuals to resume normal activities shortly after the procedure. Results are often visible immediately and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used. Some dermal fillers boost collagen production in the treated areas, contributing to improved skin texture and firmness over time.
After treatment, you might have some swelling, redness, pain, bruising, headache, tenderness, lump formation, itching at the injection site, and impaired hand function. These are typically mild in severity and normally last less than seven days in nasolabial folds and less than 14–18 days in lips. Swelling may be more likely in patients under 36 years, and bruising may be more likely in patients over 35 years.
Aftercare
One of the advantages of dermal fillers is that results are often visible immediately after the treatment. You'll likely notice an instant improvement in volume and smoothness in the treated areas. However, it can take a few days for any swelling to subside and for the filler to settle, revealing the final results.
At SKINN Aesthete, our expert Burbank aestheticians tailor each treatment to address your specific concerns and goals. Whether you're looking to soften a single line or undergo a full facial rejuvenation, dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution with minimal downtime and beautiful, natural-looking results.
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type used and the area treated. Generally, results can last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6-12 months, while some more durable fillers can last up to 2 years. Factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and the amount of filler used can also affect how long the results last.
Most patients report minimal discomfort during dermal filler injections. At SKINN Aesthete, we use ultra-fine needles and can apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to ensure your comfort. Many dermal fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps minimize pain during and after the injection.
While both Botox and dermal fillers are injectable treatments used for facial rejuvenation, they work in different ways. Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles (those caused by facial movements). Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add volume beneath the skin to smooth static wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and restore lost volume.
Yes, in most cases, hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you're unhappy with the results. However, this is rarely necessary when the injections are performed by a skilled practitioner. At SKINN Aesthete, our expert injectors focus on creating natural-looking results that enhance your features subtly.
While dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by a qualified professional, there can be some temporary side effects. These may include swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. These typically resolve within a few days. More serious complications are rare but can include infection, lumps, or vascular occlusion. At SKINN Aesthete, we prioritize your safety and use only FDA-approved fillers, administered by highly trained professionals.
