Dermal fillers are a great option for Culver City adults who want to correct volume loss, enhance facial definition, or smooth out deep-set lines and wrinkles. Before starting any injectable treatment, we encourage a consultation with our expert provider to ensure it’s the best choice for your cosmetic goals. Key topics to cover during your visit include:

• Your Medical History: Residents with autoimmune issues, active skin infections, or a history of keloids should share this information with their provider. Let us know if you have allergies, asthma, or past reactions like anaphylaxis, so we can select the safest, hypoallergenic filler options for your needs.
• Medication Use: Inform our team of any medications you're currently taking. Those on blood thinners, in particular, may experience increased bruising after treatment.
• Allergy Testing: Allergies to animal-derived ingredients like bovine collagen or poultry-based compounds can limit your filler options. If necessary, we may recommend a small test injection to gauge your skin's reaction.
• Pregnancy and Nursing: If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we advise postponing dermal filler treatments until after this period for safety reasons.
  

Our clinic uses top-quality hyaluronic acid fillers sourced from reputable, medically-approved brands. Each formula is crafted for targeted use—ranging from plumping lips to restoring deeper facial volume with precision and safety.

Downtime is generally minimal, though mild swelling or bruising may appear and can last between 3 to 7 days. Most people resume their routine quickly, but we advise avoiding strenuous activity for the first 24 hours post-treatment.

To help reduce bruising or irritation, avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil supplements in the week leading up to your appointment. Please arrive with a freshly cleansed face and without any makeup in the area being treated.

Discomfort is very limited. We apply a topical numbing cream beforehand, and most fillers are pre-mixed with lidocaine to enhance comfort. Patients generally describe only slight pressure or a brief pinch.

It’s normal to experience some swelling, redness, or mild bruising near the injection areas. These symptoms typically subside within a few days to a week. Major complications are extremely rare when performed by an experienced provider.

Avoid alcohol, vigorous exercise, hot environments like saunas, and applying pressure to the area for 24 to 48 hours. It’s also helpful to sleep with your head slightly elevated on the first night to reduce swelling.

The longevity of your results can range from 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler, your metabolism, and the treated area. Lip enhancements usually last up to a year, while cheek volume often remains visible up to 18 months.

Absolutely. Fillers can be paired with Botox, microneedling, or laser therapies for a more complete and youthful transformation. We’ll tailor a treatment plan that blends multiple techniques for optimal results.

While Botox works to reduce muscle activity that leads to visible wrinkles, dermal fillers restore volume and definition to areas affected by aging. Used together, they can offer a more complete and balanced facial rejuvenation.

• Dermal Fillers: These injectable gels help replace lost facial volume, sculpt the cheeks, enhance the lips, and smooth deeper folds around the nose and mouth. They support skin structure and improve overall facial harmony.
• Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox): Botox is a powerful yet safe treatment that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for expression lines. It is particularly effective for smoothing dynamic wrinkles like forehead creases, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines.

Both dermal fillers and facial fat grafting serve to restore youthful volume and improve skin texture, but they differ in application and process. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected to replace age-related fat loss in a minimally invasive way. Fat grafting, on the other hand, involves harvesting fat from another area of your body—such as the thighs or abdomen—and re-injecting it into the face. Although fat transfer results can last longer, the procedure is more invasive and often requires surgical steps and downtime. Dermal fillers offer a nonsurgical, quick solution with immediate and predictable results.

Yes, most hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be safely dissolved using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase. This makes reversal or correction simple, giving patients added peace of mind when choosing treatment.

We do not recommend dermal filler treatments during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Although there is no conclusive evidence showing harm, clinical research is limited, so we prioritize safety and advise waiting until after these periods.
