Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers work to rejuvenate the skin by adding volume to the skin, which enhances specific areas of the face (e.g. the lips or cheekbones), restores lost volume (e.g. along the jawline), or smooths out fine lines and wrinkles. 

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers increase the skin’s hyaluronic acid content, which has the long-term benefit of boosting collagen and elastin production to reduce wrinkles and deliver a more youthful appearance. 

Other fillers work by stimulating collagen production in the skin, leading not only to correction of fine lines and wrinkles, but also a healthier, stronger skin texture.

Yes, dermal fillers are safe, especially when administered by an experienced provider, such as those we have at the Center for Surgical Dermatology in Westerville, Ohio. 

Furthermore, while dermal fillers are completely safe for most individuals, we do not recommend them to those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, are allergic to products in the filler, or have an active infection or skin inflammation.

Like many other cosmetic treatments, there are a few side effects to be aware of before you schedule a dermal fillers treatment in Westerville. Dermal fillers side effects may include redness, swelling, itching, tenderness, bruising, and pain. 

One of our top tips is eating fresh pineapple for a day or two before and after your injection. Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain that has been shown to help reduce pain, swelling, and bruising. 

Additionally, to reduce your risk of side effects, we always recommend choosing a licensed provider who has experience administering injectables. The board-certified dermatologists at the Center for Surgical Dermatology are experts in helping our patients achieve exceptional results with dermal fillers.

The total cost of your dermal fillers treatment depends on several different factors, including the type of dermal filler, how many units you need to achieve your desired results, your provider experience, and clinic location. 

Similar to other cosmetic or aesthetic treatments, the cost will vary from clinic to clinic, but the general rule of thumb is that one dermal filler syringe starts at $700.
