Dermal fillers are often recommended for West Hollywood residents who want to restore youthful volume, define their features more clearly, or smooth away fine lines and deeper wrinkles. To determine if this treatment is right for you, we advise scheduling a consultation with one of our experienced providers. During this visit, you will be able to review your aesthetic goals, medical background, and treatment expectations, ensuring that dermal fillers are the most suitable option for your needs.

• Your Medical History: Anyone with autoimmune disorders, ongoing skin infections, or a history of keloids should communicate this information to their provider. It is also essential to report any allergies, asthma, or prior reactions like anaphylaxis to help select the safest hypoallergenic fillers for your treatment plan.
• Medication Use: Make sure to share details of any medications you are currently taking. Blood thinners in particular may increase the likelihood of bruising, allowing the team to plan your care appropriately.
• Allergy Testing: Allergies to substances such as bovine collagen or poultry-based ingredients may limit which fillers are suitable. In certain situations, a small test injection may be recommended to assess your skin’s response before starting a full procedure.
• Pregnancy and Nursing: We recommend that dermal filler treatments be postponed for anyone who is pregnant or breastfeeding. This precaution ensures the highest safety for both patient and child.

Our practice provides only premium hyaluronic acid fillers obtained from trusted and medically certified brands. Each option is carefully designed for specific purposes, whether that’s enhancing the lips with fullness or restoring significant volume in the face with accuracy and safety in mind.

Recovery time is usually quite minimal. Some patients may notice temporary swelling or mild bruising, which generally fades within 3 to 7 days. Normal activities can be resumed quickly, though we recommend holding off on heavy workouts for the first 24 hours following treatment.

To limit the possibility of irritation or bruising, it’s best to avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil supplements in the days leading up to your visit. Come with clean skin and without makeup in the treatment areas to allow for a smoother process.

Any discomfort is quite manageable. A numbing cream is applied beforehand, and many filler products include lidocaine for additional comfort. Patients usually report only a minor pinch or gentle pressure during the procedure.

It’s common to see some light swelling, redness, or bruising where the filler is placed. These effects usually improve within several days to a week. More serious reactions are extremely uncommon when handled by an experienced professional.

Steer clear of alcohol, intense physical exercise, and hot settings like steam rooms or saunas for at least 24 to 48 hours. Try not to press on the treated areas, and consider sleeping with your head slightly raised on the first night to limit swelling.

The effects typically last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months, depending on the filler type, your body’s metabolism, and the specific area treated. Lip enhancements generally maintain results for about a year, while cheek fillers can last closer to 18 months.

Yes. Fillers often complement Botox, microneedling, or laser treatments to create a more complete rejuvenation. Your provider can customize a combination plan that enhances your results across multiple treatments.

Botox works by limiting muscle movement to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Fillers, on the other hand, add structure and replace lost volume. Used together, they can provide a more balanced and youthful facial appearance.

• Dermal Fillers: These injectable gels are designed to replace lost volume, shape and lift the cheeks, enhance the lips, and smooth pronounced folds around the nose and mouth. They provide structural support and contribute to a balanced and youthful facial appearance.
• Botulinum Toxin Type A (Botox): Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause facial expression lines. It is highly effective at softening forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines while maintaining natural, expressive movement.
  
  

Both dermal fillers and facial fat grafting restore youthful volume and improve skin texture, but they differ in method and process. Hyaluronic acid fillers are injected to replace fat loss in a minimally invasive way. Fat grafting requires fat to be harvested from another body area such as the abdomen or thighs and re-injected into the face. Fat transfer results often last longer, but the procedure is more invasive and involves surgery and recovery time. Dermal fillers provide a nonsurgical option with quick, predictable, and immediate results.

Yes, most hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase. This allows for simple reversal or correction, offering peace of mind for patients.

Dermal fillers are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. While there is no proven evidence of harm, research is limited, so we advise waiting until after these periods to ensure safety.
