Everything You Need to Know About Dermal Fillers: A Guide to Youthful Skin

At TimeLyss Med Spa, we believe youthful, radiant skin should be accessible and customized to your needs. Dermal fillers are one of our most popular treatments, designed to smooth wrinkles, restore lost volume, and enhance natural beauty. Whether you want to soften fine lines, add fullness to your cheeks, or plump your lips, fillers can help you achieve a refreshed, rejuvenated look.

This guide covers everything you need to know about dermal fillers, from types and treatment areas to expected results.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made from biocompatible materials like hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid, they restore lost volume and rejuvenate the skin. By filling in areas affected by aging, fillers help create a naturally youthful and refreshed appearance.

Types of Dermal Fillers Available at TimeLyss Med Spa

There are several types of dermal fillers, each tailored to specific concerns. At Timelyss Med Spa, we offer:  

• Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers – A naturally occurring substance that maintains moisture and volume. Ideal for plumping lips, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring lost volume in the cheeks and under-eyes. Popular brands: Juvéderm® and Restylane®. 
• Poly-L-lactic Acid Fillers - A biostimulatory filler that gradually restores volume by boosting collagen production. Perfect for enhancing the cheeks, temples, and jawline. Popular brand: Sculptra®.
• Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers – Made from calcium-based microspheres. These fillers are commonly used for nonsurgical BBL (Brazilian Butt Lift) due to its biostimulatory properties that enhance collagen production and provide volume. Popular brand: Radiesse®.  
  

Each filler is carefully chosen to enhance natural beauty and provide the best results for your unique needs.

Areas of Treatment: 

• Cheeks: As we age, the cheeks lose volume, causing a hollow, sunken appearance. Dermal fillers restore volume, giving a fuller, lifted look that enhances the overall facial contour.
• Under-Eye Hollows: Dark circles and hollow areas under the eyes are common signs of aging or fatigue. Fillers can smooth this area, creating a refreshed and youthful appearance.
• Nasolabial Folds (Smile Lines): These deep lines around the nose and mouth can be softened with dermal fillers, giving a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Marionette Lines: These lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin can make you appear sad or tired. Dermal fillers restore volume and smooth these lines, rejuvenating the lower face.
• Lips: Lip fillers are a popular choice for those looking to enhance the shape, volume, and definition of their lips. Dermal fillers can also improve symmetry and reduce the appearance of fine lines around the lips.
• Jawline and Chin: Dermal fillers can enhance the contour of the jawline and chin, providing a more defined and balanced appearance.
• Hands and Décolletage: Fillers are also effective in areas like the hands and chest, where skin loses elasticity and volume with age.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Treatment:

Dermal filler treatments at TimeLyss Med Spa are quick and minimally invasive. During your consultation, our expert team will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the best filler(s) for you. The treatment itself typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. You may experience mild discomfort, but topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort.

After the procedure, you may notice some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects are typically mild and subside within a few days. Most clients can return to their normal activities immediately following treatment, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours.

What Results Can You Expect? 

One of the greatest benefits of dermal fillers is the immediate results. Once the filler is injected, you’ll notice a plumper, smoother appearance right away. However, results may vary depending on the type of filler and the area treated. Here’s what you can generally expect:

• Instant Volume Restoration: Dermal fillers instantly restore volume to the treated area, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
• Natural-Looking Results: While dermal fillers provide noticeable changes, they are designed to enhance your natural features. The results are subtle and gradual, ensuring that you still look like yourself—just with a youthful boost.
• Lasting Effects: The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and individual factors like metabolism. Most fillers last between 6 months to 2 years, after which maintenance treatments may be necessary to sustain the results.
