How Do I Know Which Dermal Filler Is Right for Me?

Dermal filler injections can be one of the most transformative non-surgical treatment options for men and women of all ages. These treatments can help to minimize (and even eliminate) the presence and appearance of wrinkles on your skin, and they can restore volume in areas of your face where age, lifestyle, or life events have created hollow or gaunt areas in your skin. While dermal fillers are primarily used to treat issues on your face, these treatments can also be used on your neck and in your hands.

However, because there are so many different dermal filler options available, it can be difficult and confusing to know exactly which dermal filler is right for you and your skin concerns. While scheduling a consultation with Dr. D’Souza is the best way to decide which dermal filler(s) is right for you, below is some information about the dermal fillers we offer at Iconic Plastic Surgery so that you can prepare yourself for what to expect.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive, injectable treatments that can help smooth skin and add volume to thin areas in the skin. Many of these injectable fillers are made of a hyaluronic acid (HA) solution. HA is found naturally in the body, and when injected into the skin, the solution works to attract and retain moisture. This causes the skin to fill out, smoothing wrinkles and plumping the skin to help you look more youthful than you have in years.

What Are My Dermal Filler Options?

Though there are numerous dermal filler brands and specific choices, the reality is that different types of fillers help to correct concerns in different areas of the face and body. Below are some of the injectable fillers we offer at Iconic Plastic Surgery and what correction they can offer you.

JUVÉDERM®

JUVÉDERM® is one of the leading names in injectable fillers. It is a full collection of FDA-approved hyaluronic acid-based fillers that treats volume loss. At Iconic Plastic Surgery, we offer JUVÉDERM® XC and JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC JUVÉDERM® XC addresses fine lines, wrinkles, furrows, and various lines on the face like the marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and vertical lip lines. JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA XC volumizes lost volume in the cheeks that can often make you look sunken in and older than you truly are.

Each JUVÉDERM® treatment is quick and requires little to no downtime, and the results can last anywhere from six months to two years.

Restylane®

Restylane® is another popular hyaluronic acid dermal filler used in the fight against aging. This injectable filler can treat moderate to severe wrinkles and lines in the face. Some of the Restylane® products can also be used on the back of the hands to increase lost volume. At Iconic Plastic Surgery, Dr. D’Souza offers:

  • Restylane® and Restylane-L®
