Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances made to correct lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. These treatments are carefully administered beneath the skin’s surface to address various aesthetic concerns. The majority of fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural compound found in the body that contributes to skin hydration and elasticity.
Fillers serve different purposes, they’re used for deep wrinkles, volume restoration, as well as subtle enhancements such as lip augmentation. Your provider will recommend the most appropriate filler based on your concerns, treatment area, and desired outcome.
Results from dermal fillers are visible immediately, though you may experience minor swelling initially. The effects generally last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the treatment area. Many patients find that maintenance treatments help them maintain their desired appearance over time.
Fillers provide quick results with minimal downtime, making them a great option for those seeking facial rejuvenation without surgery. You can see visible improvements right after your treatment, with results continuing to develop over the following days. Most patients return to their normal activities the same day, experiencing only minor temporary side effects like slight swelling or redness.
These treatments provide natural-looking enhancements when administered by skilled professionals. Fillers can smooth nasolabial folds, restore cheek volume, improve lip fullness, and improve the appearance of under-eye hollows. Modern fillers are versatile, enabling us to create treatment plans that address your specific concerns while maintaining facial harmony.
Beyond aesthetic improvements, many patients report increased confidence following filler treatments. Addressing signs of aging without invasive procedures makes fillers a great choice for those wanting to refresh their appearance. With proper technique and high-quality products, you can achieve subtle, elegant results that look like a more rested, youthful version of yourself.
Your filler experience at The Wellness at Ridgewood begins with a comprehensive consultation. When you arrive, your provider will look at your facial features and discuss your goals. Together, you’ll create a personalized treatment plan. This is a great time to bring up any concerns and fully understand the procedure.
On treatment day, your provider will cleanse the area and may apply a topical numbing cream for comfort. The injection process generally takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
During the procedure, your provider will carefully inject the filler using precise techniques. You may feel slight pressure or pinching, but most patients find the process quite tolerable. Afterward, your provider may gently massage the treated areas to ensure even distribution. You’ll receive specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results and minimize any temporary side effects.
The following are areas we can treat with fillers:
Lip fillers can enhance volume, define borders, and create better symmetry. We can also address vertical lip lines and improve the appearance of the corners of your mouth. These treatments help restore a youthful, balanced look while maintaining natural lip movement and expression.
Volume loss in the cheeks is a typical sign of aging. Strategic filler placement can restore this lost volume, lift sagging skin, and create more defined cheekbones. Midface enhancement often provides a subtle lifting effect, improving overall facial harmony.
Tear trough fillers address the hollows and dark circles under your eyes that can make you look tired or aged. This delicate area requires specialized technique and experience. When done properly, under-eye filler can create a refreshed, well-rested appearance.
These lines that run from your nose to your mouth and from your mouth toward your chin can be softened with strategic filler placement. Treatment in these areas helps create a smoother transition between facial features and reduces the appearance of sagging.
At The Wellness at Ridgewood, your filler treatments are performed by experienced, licensed medical professionals who understand facial anatomy and aesthetic balance.

Following proper aftercare instructions helps ensure the best possible results from your filler treatment. For the first 24 hours, avoid exercise, excessive heat exposure, and alcohol consumption. Sleep with your head elevated for the first few nights to minimize swelling. Don’t massage or apply pressure to the treated areas unless specifically instructed by your provider.
You may have minor swelling, redness, or bruising at injection sites. These effects may resolve within a few days. Applying ice packs in 10-minute intervals can help reduce swelling. Avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements unless medically necessary, as these can increase bruising.
Most patients can return to work and normal activities immediately after treatment, though you may want to schedule your appointment when you have a day or two before important events. Results continue to settle over the following two weeks. If you have any concerns during your recovery, don’t hesitate to contact our office. We’re here to support you throughout your aesthetic journey.
