What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are safe, minimally-invasive injectable treatments that sculpt, refine and renew the appearance without requiring downtime. Most dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid or other compounds found naturally in the human body that form a gel-like substance to provide better structure, definition and youthful plumpness. 

 Fillers achieve many aesthetic results and are used on the face or other parts of the body to restore lost volume, contour the features, and smooth wrinkles. Used on the face, fillers can sculpt and lift the cheekbones, plump the lips, and define the jawline.

What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Fillers provide many benefits for patients who would like to enhance or rejuvenate their appearance: 

  • Short, minimally-invasive treatment
  • No downtime
  • Rejuvenated features and skin
  • Fewer, smoother wrinkles, folds and creases
  • Contoured, defined facial features
  • Reduced hollows, bags, and dark circles under the eyes
  • Lifted corners of the mouth
  • A more defined jawline
  • Plump, supple lips
  • Smoothed wrinkles around the lips
  • Improved self-confidence 
  • Can be used as a part of a non-surgical (liquid) facelift, rhinoplasty, or blepharoplasty 

How Long do Dermal Fillers Last?

The length of time dermal fillers last depends on which type of filler is used and where it is injected. 

HA-based fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, and in some cases, even longer. Other fillers based on different substances can last longer, for up to 2-5 years.

How Much do Dermal Fillers Cost?

The cost of facial fillers in Nashville depends on the type of filler used, how much filler is required to achieve your aesthetic goals, and where the filler is applied on the face or body. Once we examine your skin and discuss your desired outcome, we will recommend the best filler to use and how much of it is needed. From there, we will be able to give you the exact price of your dermal filler treatment.

Recovery and Aftercare for Dermal Fillers

You’ll be able to see your results immediately after your short dermal filler treatment. After getting dermal fillers, you can get right back to work or your usual activities right away. Fillers have the nickname “lunchtime lift” because of how quickly you can be in and out of the office. There’s no downtime to worry about after your treatment, but there may be minor swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. Side effects are short-lived, usually disappearing within a few days. After your treatment, avoid manipulating the area and extreme heat for about two weeks. We recommend no strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Protect your skin from sun exposure for a couple of days.
