Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers in Portland, OR
Dermal fillers are a widely performed method of aesthetic medicine and another way Laser Skin Solutions can help you achieve the look you desire. Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectable treatments used to add volume, smoothen lines and enhance facial contours. Often this is done with cheek fillers, chin fillers and most popularly…lip enhancements in the form of lip fillers. They are primarily composed of a gel form of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain skin hydration and volume. The filler then attracts over twice its weight in water. Since hyaluronic acid naturally occurs, our bodies accept the filler more easily and it allows it be naturally metabolized over time. Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation, with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures.
If you’re considering dermal filler treatments or any other medical aesthetics, it’s essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider at Laser Skin Solutions to discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns you may have. They can provide personalized recommendations based on your individual needs to help you achieve the best results.

What Dermal Fillers Can Do For You
Add Volume: Dermal fillers can plump up areas of the face that have lost volume due to aging, resulting in a more youthful appearance. Common filler treatments are cheek fillers, lip fillers, chin fillers, and jawline fillers.
Smooth Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Fillers are a common wrinkle treatment that will help fill in and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, and folds on the face. This includes nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, and vertical lip lines.
Lip Enhancements: Dermal fillers can augment and define the lips for a fuller and more defined appearance. Lip fillers can also help improve lip symmetry and address thinning lips due to aging.
Improve Facial Contours: Fillers can be strategically injected to enhance and define facial contours, such as the jawline, chin, and cheeks. This can create a more sculpted and youthful facial profile.
Restore Youthful Appearance: By restoring lost volume, fillers can help rejuvenate the overall appearance of the face, providing a natural-looking lift and glow.
Minimize Hollow Areas: Dermal fillers can address sunken areas or hollows on the cheeks, or temples, restoring a more youthful and refreshed look to the face.
Non-Surgical Alternative: Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation, with minimal downtime compared to surgical procedures.

Dermal Filler FAQs
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about JUVÉDERM® filler cosmetic injection wrinkle treatments:
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made of hyaluronic acid or other materials that are used to add volume, smoothen lines, and enhance facial contours. They work by restoring lost volume, filling in wrinkles and folds, and hydrating the skin.
Dermal fillers can be used to treat various areas of the face, including cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under the eyes, chin, jawline, and temples. They can also be used for hand rejuvenation and non-surgical rhinoplasty.
The longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm and Restylane can last between 6 months to 18 months.
When administered by a trained healthcare provider, dermal fillers are considered safe with minimal risks. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential side effects such as bruising, swelling, redness, and rarely, allergic reactions or infections. It’s crucial to choose a qualified professional for treatment.
While both Botox and dermal fillers are used for cosmetic enhancement, they work differently. Botox temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while dermal fillers add volume to areas with volume loss, smoothing out lines and restoring youthful contours.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during dermal filler injections. Providers often use a topical anesthetic or a numbing agent in the filler itself to enhance comfort during the procedure.
