Dermal Fillers in New City, NY
What Dermal Fillers Can Do
Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from substances like hyaluronic acid (a moisture-loving molecule naturally found in your skin) or calcium hydroxyapatite. They’re used to restore volume, fill wrinkles, and enhance facial contours without surgery.
Common treatment areas include:
- Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
- Marionette lines (running from the corners of the mouth downward)
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Tear troughs (under the eyes)
- Jawline and chin
Dermal fillers can also be used for subtle hand rejuvenation or to improve symmetry in facial features.
Natural Results with a Thoughtful Approach
At our New City dermatology office, our treatments respect the natural architecture of your face. A successful filler result doesn’t radically change how you look, it restores what’s been gradually lost with time. During your consultation, we’ll talk with you about what bothers you, what’s realistically achievable, and how to get there safely.
We also discuss the different filler types available. Some are better suited to delicate areas like lips or undereye, while others are firmer and provide structure in areas like the cheeks or jawline. Choosing the right product for the right area is key to a balanced, youthful look.
How Long Do Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the product used, the treatment area, and how your body metabolizes the material. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last 6–18 months, while other types can last longer. Touch-ups can help maintain your results without overfilling.
Importantly, all treatments at Scott Sanders Dermatology are performed or supervised by board-certified dermatologists with a deep understanding of facial anatomy and skin health.
What to Expect After Treatment
Filler injections typically take under 30 minutes. You may have some swelling, mild redness, or occasional bruising that resolves within a few days. Most people return to their regular routine right away. We’ll walk you through aftercare steps to help your results settle in smoothly.
