Dermal fillers are frequently chosen by adults in Marina Del Rey who want to address sagging or thinning areas, improve facial contour, or minimize the depth of wrinkles. To confirm if this treatment is appropriate for you, we recommend arranging a consultation with our expert provider. This visit gives us the opportunity to evaluate your unique features, listen to your cosmetic goals, and provide guidance so you can move forward with confidence in your decision.

• Your Medical History: Patients with autoimmune conditions, active skin infections, or a history of keloid formation should always provide this information to their provider. Additionally, let us know if you have any allergies, asthma, or previous severe reactions such as anaphylaxis. Sharing this information ensures that we can choose the safest, most suitable hypoallergenic filler options tailored to your needs.
• Medication Use: Be sure to inform our team about all medications you are currently taking. Individuals on blood thinners may be more prone to bruising after treatment, so this allows us to plan your care accordingly.
• Allergy Testing: If you have allergies to animal-derived ingredients, including bovine collagen or poultry-based compounds, it may affect your filler choices. In some cases, a small test injection can be recommended to determine how your skin responds before proceeding with a full treatment.
• Pregnancy and Nursing: We advise postponing dermal filler treatments if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Waiting until after this period is the safest course of action to protect both you and your child.

We use only hyaluronic acid fillers of the highest quality, sourced from approved medical suppliers. Each filler is developed for a particular use, such as creating fuller lips or restoring lost facial volume with safe and precise application.

Most patients have a smooth recovery. Minor swelling or bruising can occur and may last 3 to 7 days. While everyday activities can resume quickly, it is best to wait 24 hours before engaging in strenuous workouts.

We recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for one week before your session to lower the risk of bruising. Please arrive with your face freshly washed and without makeup on the areas to be treated.

The discomfort is minimal. A numbing cream is applied in advance, and many filler products include lidocaine to make the treatment more comfortable. Most people report only a brief pinch or gentle pressure.

You may notice slight swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection points. These side effects are temporary and generally fade within several days to a week. Serious complications are extremely rare when done by an experienced injector.

For 24 to 48 hours, avoid drinking alcohol, doing strenuous exercise, entering saunas, or pressing on the treated areas. To minimize swelling, try sleeping with your head propped up on the first night.

Results typically last between 6 and 18 months depending on the filler type, your metabolism, and the treatment site. Lip filler usually maintains results for up to a year, while cheek filler often lasts closer to 18 months.

Yes, fillers can be paired with Botox, microneedling, or laser therapy to achieve more complete rejuvenation. Your provider can put together a plan that incorporates multiple treatments for enhanced outcomes.

Botox relaxes muscles that create wrinkles, while fillers restore volume and structure to the face. When combined, they provide a balanced approach to facial rejuvenation.

• Dermal Fillers: These injectable gels are designed to replace lost facial volume, sculpt the cheeks, enhance the lips, and smooth deep folds around the nose and mouth. They also support underlying skin structure and contribute to overall facial balance and harmony.
• Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox): Botox is a clinically proven treatment that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines. It is highly effective for reducing wrinkles such as forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar furrows while maintaining natural facial movement.

Dermal fillers and facial fat grafting both help restore volume and enhance facial contours, but they work differently. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected into targeted areas to replace lost volume quickly and with minimal invasiveness. Fat grafting involves removing fat from other areas of the body, such as the thighs or abdomen, and re-injecting it into the face. Although the results of fat grafting can last longer, it is a surgical procedure that requires recovery. Dermal fillers are non-surgical and provide immediate, reliable results with minimal downtime.

Most hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. This allows for corrections or reversals when needed, giving patients control and peace of mind regarding their treatment results.

It is recommended to avoid dermal filler treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding. Even though no conclusive evidence shows these treatments are harmful, the limited research available makes waiting the safest approach.
