What are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers (or simply fillers) are often utilized to replenish lost facial volume. The face can lose volume for several reasons, but age and significant weight loss are major contributors. The procedure works by injecting the filler under the skin to fill sunken or hollowed areas. Fillers are a great, non-surgical alternative for women and men wanting to even out wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin to create a younger-looking appearance. Dermal fillers can also be incorporated into other aesthetic services to provide the benefits of a traditional facelift without surgery, the presence of scars, and the required downtime that follows. There are various types of fillers that can help meet the expectations and desires of each patient. To determine which products are right for you, we invite you to visit Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania where our knowledgeable team can help you make this decision.
How Do Injectable Dermal Fillers Work?
Before your procedure, we will consult with you to learn more about your cosmetic goals and decide what product will best produce them. Different types of fillers may be best suited for certain treatment areas. At the time of the actual procedure, a numbing cream can be used to minimize the discomfort of the injections. Our team will determine how much filler is needed and will carefully and gently inject it through a small needle. Depending on the desired outcome, either half or an entire syringe could be used.

Laser & Skin Surgery Center of Pennsylvania Reviews
I had an amazing experience with Dr. Slaski. I went to her for lip filler and she made the entire experience so enjoyable. She as very friendly and knowledgeable throughout the entire appointment, she took the time to explain the entire process and any questions I had. I cannot recommend her enough and will be going back to her!
Stephanie has been my provider for nearly 5 years, and my experience each time is nothing short of exceptional. Stephanie is beyond knowledgeable in all aspects of dermatology. Not only do I see her for my general derm concerns, but she also is my cosmetic injector and is INCREDIBLY talented. (I like to call her my facial engineer!) I’ve seen many providers over the years at various offices, but there is no one like Stephanie. Her expertise and compassionate care is unparalleled and truly sets her apart. She takes the time to thoroughly understand my concerns, explain treatment options, and answer all my questions in a way that is easy to understand. I send all my family and friends to see her and can’t recommend her enough!!!
I have been so happy with Stephanie as my provider for the last 10+ years! Going in for cosmetics was always intimidating to me and she always made me feel so comfortable and guided me without any pressure! She is so sweet and easy to work with, truly cares for her patients. Would not see anyone else!
Stephanie is an excellent dermatology provider. I have been seeing her for years for both skin-related issues and cosmetic procedures. For skin-related issues, she takes the time to explain everything in detail and allows me to ask questions to make sure I understand. I always feel very well taken care of by her and never rushed along. She is very calm and patient and everything I would look for in a medical professional. For cosmetic procedures, she is truly an artist who continues to work on perfecting her craft! I have seen nothing but incredible results and always look forward to my cosmetic appointments with Stephanie. I highly recommend her to all of my family and friends!
I’ve had the pleasure of having Stephanie as my PA for over 5 years now and can genuinely say she is the best I have ever worked with on many levels! Stephanie is incredibly knowledgeable and comes in with a level of expertise and attention to detail that makes you feel truly cared for as a patient. I’ve worked with Stephanie for skin cancer screenings for many years and she always takes the time to educate me at each appointment. For cosmetic appointments she does not hesitate to talk me through the outcomes of any injections I consider and the real feedback on the what that may look like for me. She is truly incredible at her job and I’m so lucky I found her!

What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?
Wrinkle relaxers treat lines and wrinkles (especially on the forehead and near the eyes) by reducing the movement of facial muscles. Injectable fillers add volume to the face to fill in fine lines, wrinkles, and depressions. Dermal fillers can also be used to create fuller cheeks and lips and reduce the appearance of aging on the hands.
How long will the results last?
Your results' longevity will depend on which filler is used and where it is placed. Some people may see improvements for a year, whereas others may want a repeat treatment after three months. To maintain your results, follow-up injections can be scheduled at our office.
What areas of my face can be treated with dermal fillers?
Wrinkle fillers can improve signs of aging in your face by smoothing static lines or adding volume. Dermal fillers can be injected into parentheses, marionettes, and fine lines near your nose and mouth. They can also restore volume to your lips and cheeks.
