Ideal for treating smile lines, hollow cheeks, and thinning lips, our expertly administered fillers provide instant, long-lasting results tailored to your unique facial structure.
Overview
Dermal fillers are injectables formulated to restore volume and smooth out wrinkles. They are made from substances like hyaluronic acid, which retains moisture in the skin, or calcium hydroxylapatite, which stimulates collagen production. When injected, hyaluronic acid-based fillers plump the skin by attracting water molecules, while calcium hydroxylapatite works by adding volume and encouraging long-term collagen growth. Dr. Elmaraghy personally performs all filler injections, ensuring precise, natural results tailored to each patient. These fillers are commonly used to treat facial lines, volume loss, and contour deficiencies, providing immediate results with effects that can last from several months to over a year.
Indications for Dermal Fillers:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of midface volume and hollow cheeks
- Loss of lip volume and lip shape irregularities
- Jawline and chin contouring issues
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines around the mouth
- Under-eye hollows or tear troughs
- Acne scars and other types of scars
- Sagging facial contours
- Loss of volume from aging hands
Dermal Filler Options
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that helps restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Known for its smooth consistency, JUVÉDERM® is ideal for treating fine lines around the mouth, plumping the lips, and filling in deeper facial folds like nasolabial folds. It offers immediate, natural-looking results lasting up to a year or longer.
RADIESSE®
RADIESSE is made from calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that add immediate volume and stimulate collagen production for long-term skin rejuvenation. This filler is particularly effective for deeper wrinkles, facial contouring, and rejuvenating aging hands. Results from RADIESSE can last up to 18 months, making it a long-lasting option for facial enhancement.
Restylane®
Restylane is another hyaluronic acid-based filler that adds volume and smooths out wrinkles. It is versatile and used to treat a range of concerns, including fine lines, lip enhancement, and cheek augmentation. Restylane has a slightly firmer texture, making it excellent for precise contouring in areas like the nose, cheeks, and chin. The results typically last 6 to 18 months.
Procedure Details
Dr. Elmaraghy will start by assessing your facial anatomy and discussing your aesthetic goals. After cleansing the treatment area, a topical anesthetic or lidocaine mixed with the filler may be used to minimize discomfort. Using a fine-gauge needle or cannula, Dr. Elmaraghy will inject the filler at specific depths, targeting areas like the dermis or subcutaneous tissue. He will mold the filler to ensure smooth integration with your natural contours. The procedure typically lasts 30-60 minutes, and the results are visible immediately.
Recovery & Results
Dermal fillers involve little to no downtime. You may notice mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection sites, but these subside within 2 days.
You can resume most activities immediately, but avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours. The results are immediately visible, with the full effects visible after the swelling resolves. Depending on the filler used, your results will last anywhere from 6 to 24 months, after which you can get maintenance treatments.
Dermal Fillers FAQs
Will the Procedure Hurt?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Elmaraghy takes steps to ensure your comfort, including using a numbing cream or fillers that contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic. You may feel a slight pinch or pressure during the injections, but the process is generally well-tolerated. Any post-procedure discomfort subsides within a day or two.
How Often Should I Get Dermal Fillers?
The frequency of treatments depends on the type of filler used and how quickly your body metabolizes it. Most patients return for touch-ups every 6 to 18 months. Dr. Elmaraghy will work with you to create a customized treatment plan based on your needs and desired outcomes, ensuring you maintain your refreshed appearance.
Will My Results Look Natural?
Yes, when administered by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Elmaraghy, dermal fillers produce natural-looking results that enhance your facial features without appearing overdone. The fillers are carefully injected to blend seamlessly with your natural facial contours, improving volume and smoothness while maintaining facial expressions. The goal is to leave you refreshed and rejuvenated, never artificial or overfilled.
