Fillers

What are fillers? 

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injections that restore lost volume beneath the skin. At Woodlands Aesthetics, fillers are used to add volume back to targeted areas of concern. They can improve facial contours, reduce lines and wrinkles, smooth the skin, and plump up thin lips or even the skin on your hands.

Your provider uses Restylane, Juvéderm, or Bellafill fillers, which contain substances like hyaluronic acid (HA) and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microspheres, to treat beauty concerns without downtime. 

At Woodlands Aesthetics, you can also combine fillers with Botox® to rejuvenate a youthful appearance. 

What beauty concerns can fillers treat? 

Fillers can be used to treat several beauty concerns, including: 

• Sagging jawline
• Smile lines 
• Marionette lines (around your mouth) 
• Crow’s feet (around your eyes) 
• Vertical lip lines 
• Thin lips

Your provider can also use fillers to treat shallow facial contours. 

Are fillers right for me?

Fillers are FDA-approved treatments to safely and effectively treat aging skin. To determine if fillers are best for your needs, your Woodlands Aesthetics provider examines your skin in areas that concern you. 

They also ask about your medical history and discuss your desired results before customizing your treatment plan. You might receive more than one type of filler, or have other complementary treatments like Botox or Dysport.

What should I expect during my treatment with fillers?

When receiving fillers at Woodlands Aesthetics, you’ll rest comfortably in a relaxing room. Your provider can numb the treatment area to make sure the procedure is comfortable for you. They then inject the filler beneath your skin, which takes only a minute or two for each injection. 

What happens after getting fillers? 

After you receive fillers, you can resume regular activities immediately as there’s no downtime required. However, you may have some tenderness, redness, or swelling at the injection sites. 

Your provider may also recommend you to avoid touching the treatment area with your hands, but you can cool your skin gently to reduce any temporary swelling. 

You’ll notice the results of fillers immediately, with continued improvements appearing over the next few days. Fillers could last six months to several years or longer*, depending on the type of filler you receive.
