What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal filler injections are a simple, non-surgical way to reduce wrinkles, smooth out lines, and bring back volume to your face. Every year, over 2.6 million people choose this affordable method to look younger without needing surgery or recovery time.

How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments composed of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally occurring in your body that helps keep your skin moist and full. When this gel-like material is injected into specific areas of the face, it adds volume and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles.
Dermal Filler Options
Although there are a number of fillers available on the market, we will identify the best one to suit your needs. We only use FDA approved dermal fillers. For example, if you are looking to reduce the appearance of bags under your eyes or drooping cheeks, Restylane© is a well-known, reputable brand of filler. For a fuller lip, Juvéderm is an FDA approved solution to give you the volume you want.
How much filler do I need?
The amount of filler you need depends on your specific cosmetic goals, the areas you want to treat, and the type of results you’re looking for. Some people may only require a small amount for subtle enhancements, while others might need more to achieve their desired look. Our professionals with 15 years of experience will help you understand what’s best for your situation during the initial consultation.
Which dermal filler is right for me?

How long will my fillers last?
The durability of your dermal fillers is influenced by the type of filler, the treatment area, and your body’s response. It’s worth noting that fillers tend to last longer with subsequent treatments. Initially, fillers may not last as long, but with each follow-up, their longevity can increase.

Dermal Fillers Treatment Guide
Before
- Before undergoing dermal filler treatment, you will have a consultation with your provider at Beauty and Wellness Med Spa to fully understand the procedure and discuss your aesthetic goals.
- This is your chance to ask any questions or express any concerns you might have. You’ll learn about how dermal fillers work, the areas of the face they can enhance, and any possible side effects to be aware of.
- Before getting dermal filler injections, it’s also important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes. Understanding that fillers can significantly enhance your appearance but won’t radically change your look is key to being satisfied with the results
- It’s crucial to disclose your relevant medical history to your provider, including any allergies, skin infections, or medical conditions, as these can affect the safety and effectiveness of the treatment. If you have Herpes Simplex (cold sores) on your face, please let us know.
- Also, it’s a good idea to eat something light, like a small meal or snack, before coming in for your appointment.
- Additionally, planning for a little downtime might be wise, even though most people can resume their normal activities immediately. Some minor swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is common and usually subsides within a few days.
During
- During your dermal filler treatment, comfort and safety are our top priorities. Here’s what you can expect during the procedure:
- Pre-Treatment Cleanse: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in the areas where the fillers will be injected. This helps to minimize the risk of infection.
- Topical Anesthetic: To ensure your comfort, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment areas. This will help reduce any discomfort during the injection process.
- Injection Process: Using a fine needle or cannula, the dermal filler will be carefully injected into the specified areas of your face. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure during this step, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
- Immediate Evaluation: After the injections, we may gently massage the treated areas to ensure the filler is evenly distributed. You’ll have the opportunity to check the initial results in a mirror, although keep in mind that swelling may affect the appearance temporarily.
- Before you leave, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions. It’s crucial to follow these to achieve the best results and minimize any potential side effects. The whole process is quick, usually taking no more than 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas treated and the amount of filler used. Your comfort will be monitored throughout, and you’re encouraged to provide feedback or ask questions at any point.
After
- After your dermal filler treatment, it’s common to experience redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. These reactions typically fade within a few days to a week. If they last longer than a week or if you notice other symptoms, please get in touch with our office.
- Makeup can be applied a few hours post-treatment, provided there are no complications like open wounds or infections.
- For the first 24 hours after treatment, avoid direct sunlight or UV lamp exposure. Excessive sun or heat, as well as alcohol consumption, may worsen redness, bruising, or swelling. If swelling or redness persists, limit sun exposure for at least 5-7 days and use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher that contains zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide if you must be outside.
- Refrain from strenuous exercise for 48 hours to prevent displacing the filler or increasing facial blood flow. Avoid aspirin (unless it’s medically necessary) and other anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, as well as supplements such as fish oil, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort, and high doses of vitamin E for 5 days post-treatment to reduce the risk of bleeding or bruising.
- Limit touching or massaging the treated areas for 6 hours after the injections, and gently wash your face with a mild cleanser.
- We value your satisfaction and invite you to return to our if a touch-up is needed

Questions?
How do dermal fillers stack up against facelifts?
Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical, temporary solution for adding volume and reducing wrinkles, making them less invasive but also less permanent than facelifts. If you’re seeking a middle ground with longer-lasting results, PDO Thread Lifts provide a minimally invasive alternative that can complement dermal fillers by lifting and tightening the skin.
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Although they carry out the same function, Botox is used to reduce muscle activity around the injected area, while fillers inject hyalournic acid to increase collagen and elastin production into the desired area to plump the skin and lift the face. Both are used to create a more youthful appearance.
Where is the best place to get dermal fillers in Michigan?
The best place to get dermal fillers in Michigan is Beauty & Wellness Center in Dearborn. Our expert injectors are specially trained to give you the look you want without the surgical consequences.
