Introduction to Dermal Fillers

With the rise of social media, many individuals feel pressure to always appear camera-ready. Whether you are a media personality or have a less high-profile life, your facial appearance matters.

For over 20 years, Dr. Darrick Antell has been helping patients in New York City find confidence in their appearance with dermal fillers. Continue reading to see if you are interested in joining the thousands of satisfied dermal filler patients.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are scientifically formulated injectable treatments, usually made from a naturally occurring sugar: hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers can help reduce the appearance of aging skin on your face and hands by restoring soft, natural volume and can be used to treat:

  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Creases between your brows
  • Sunken cheeks
  • Thin lips
  • Lip lines
  • Restoring volume to temples, cheeks, jawline, or other facial areas
  • Non-surgically reshaping your nose

Dermal fillers offer the benefit of immediate improvement, with treatments that take only minutes to complete.

Juvéderm is one of the most popular dermal fillers designed to smooth and restore volume to your face. Dr. Antell offers the full range of Juvéderm products, including:

  • Juvéderm Voluma is designed to restore volume to your cheeks, providing lift and contouring. Juvéderm Voluma is ideal for anyone with sunken, sagging, or hollow cheeks. 
  • Juvéderm Volbella is a soft, thin filler ideal for smoothing fine, shallow lines, especially around your eyes or lips.
  • Juvéderm Vollure is designed to correct deeper creases in your skin, such as the folds between your nose and mouth when you smile. Juvéderm Vollure restores structure and firmness to lax skin while still allowing natural facial movement and expression.
  • Juvéderm Ultra is a soft and supple filler designed to plump and enhance thin lips.
  • Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC is designed to deliver long-lasting, dramatic results in areas with deep creases and to plump your lips.

You can expect Juvéderm results to last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on where it is placed and your body’s reaction to the filler.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an ideal solution for those who want to treat facial aging without invasive surgery. If you want to smooth wrinkles and fine lines on your face, plump your cheeks and lips, or create a more youthful, refreshed look, then you are likely an ideal candidate for dermal fillers. You may not be a candidate if you:

  • Have active skin infections or non-healed sores from injuries.
  • Are pregnant
  • Are allergic to beef or bovine products
  • Suffer from autoimmune diseases
  • Are allergic to lidocaine (the anesthetic agent contained in most dermal fillers)

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

When injected by a Board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Antell, dermal fillers can produce subtle results to improve your appearance and confidence. Depending on which type of dermal filler you get, you can achieve:

  • Smoother wrinkles and fine lines
  • Restoration of lost contours
  • Enhanced facial features, such as improving the lips and chin
  • Natural-looking results that are immediate or gradual
  • Results without surgery
  • Reversible results

How to Begin Your Dermal Fillers Journey

Before your treatment session, you will need to attend a consultation with Dr. Antell. Like your treatment session, the consultation will be at his practice on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City.

The consultation will involve the following:

  1. Discuss your goals and facial concerns
  2. Review your medical history and any prior treatments you’ve received
  3. Dr. Antell will explain the differences between each type of filler and recommend the best option for your goals
  4. A treatment plan tailored to your goals will be created to ensure you achieve optimal results in a safe, efficient journey.
  5. You can ask any questions that arise during the consultation

What to Expect on the Day of Dermal Fillers Treatment

Receiving dermal fillers is a quick procedure with minimal discomfort and no downtime. You can expect immediate results, though some dermal fillers take up to a week for optimal results to appear. Minimal bruising and swelling in the treated areas are common immediately after treatment but typically resolve relatively quickly.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Dermal Fillers Care

There is virtually no downtime or recovery needed from your dermal filler treatment. You may experience some mild swelling, bruising, or sensitivity depending on the injection sites and type of filler used. If applicable, you may use a cold compress on the treated area to ease discomfort and minimize swelling.

Avoid strenuous activity and direct sunlight for a few days. Do not massage or rub your injection sites unless instructed to do so, as this can cause the filler to migrate and cause asymmetry.

Combining My Dermal Fillers with Other Treatments

Our New York City patients can enjoy a wide variety of benefits from dermal fillers, but they may not address all of their aesthetic concerns. To address all of your concerns, Dr. Antell can skillfully include additional treatments in your treatment plan, providing comprehensive benefits for your skin’s appearance. Some popular treatments added to dermal filler treatment plans include:

BOTOX® and other wrinkle relaxers are neuromodulators that reduce facial wrinkles and lines by relaxing muscles that cause expression lines. By preventing repetitive muscle movements, BOTOX® can also extend the longevity of your dermal fillers.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost in New York City, NY?

The cost of dermal fillers in New York City differs for each patient. The type of filler, the total amount of filler used, the area treated, and the surgeon’s expertise all contribute to the cost, making it a one-of-a-kind cost.

Combining additional treatments will also increase the cost but will save you money compared to receiving them at different times. To find out how much dermal filler treatment will cost you, book a consultation at Dr. Antell’s New York City practice.
