Fillers

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that can restore lost volume to your face, reduce the visibility of acne scars, and improve your overall facial symmetry.

The team at Dermatology and Aesthetics Center of Utah offers several popular fillers to correct age-related skin issues that make you unhappy with your appearance. The use of fillers can help you achieve your aesthetic goals without the need for incisions or surgery.

Why should I consider fillers?

As you get older, your body slows down its production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins in healthy skin. This loss causes your skin to become lax and sag, forming wrinkles and lines around your face that make you look older than your age.

You also lose volume in your face that interferes with your natural contours and symmetry.

The team at Dermatology and Aesthetics Center of Utah can determine which fillers are right for you after a skin evaluation. They offer:

Juvéderm

Juvéderm is an effective filler that can add volume to your cheeks, smooth facial lines and wrinkles, and plump your lips with results that can last a year or longer.

Sculptra

Sculptra helps restore lost facial volume, diminishes the appearance of smile lines between your nose and mouth, and addresses wrinkles on your chin. The results of Sculptra can last up to two years.

Kybella®

The team also offers Kybella® injections to destroy fat cells under your chin that give you a double-chin appearance. Kybella uses deoxycholic acid to break down fats to slim the contours of your chin and neck.

What can I expect during my treatment with facial fillers?

The team at Dermatology and Aesthetics Center of Utah performs filler injections in a comfortable office environment. They follow a customized treatment plan to inject fillers in precise locations in your face to restore lost volume and enhance the natural contours of your face.

For Kybella treatments, the team injects the solution into the unwanted fat deposits (submental fat) under your chin. You can expect to receive a series of injections to achieve your desired results.

Most people tolerate injections well, but the team can provide a topical numbing cream to make your treatment as comfortable as possible. Treatments generally take less than an hour and require no downtime. You can return to your usual activities immediately after your treatment.

To help you retain your younger-looking results, the team can recommend maintenance injections when you notice a return of wrinkles and lines.
