What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume and refresh facial contours. By placing a smooth gel-like substance beneath the skin, fillers can lift sunken areas, soften wrinkles, and reduce the appearance of sagging for a more youthful look.

This minimally invasive option is ideal for women and men in Phoenix, AZ who want to enhance facial fullness, smooth fine lines, or rejuvenate hollow areas without surgery. With a wide variety of filler types available, treatments can be customized to match your individual needs and goals.

At Altogether You Med Spa, Dr. José A. Ortiz, N.M.D., will work with you to determine which filler is best suited for your unique concerns and desired results.

Benefits of Injectable Dermal Fillers

For women and men in Phoenix, AZ, dermal fillers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns and offer several advantages, including:

  • Restoring fullness to areas that appear hollow or flat
  • Enhancing facial contours for a more balanced look
  • Softening creases and improving the appearance of sagging skin
  • Boosting confidence by creating a refreshed, youthful appearance

Our Injection Technique

At your consultation, Dr. José A. Ortiz, N.M.D., will discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend the filler best suited to your needs. On the day of treatment, a numbing cream will be applied to maximize comfort. Using a fine needle, the filler is carefully injected into targeted areas.

Some swelling or bruising may occur immediately after treatment, but these effects usually fade within a few days. Results vary depending on the type of filler and treatment area, lasting anywhere from several months to a year. Touch-up sessions can be scheduled to maintain your look.

Injectable Dermal Fillers FAQ

How much do dermal fillers cost?

The cost depends on the brand of filler and the amount required to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and provide an exact cost estimate, along with any current specials.

How do I know which filler is right for me?

The choice of filler depends on your goals and the areas you want to enhance. Whether you’re interested in plumper lips, fuller cheeks, or smoothing fine lines, Dr. Ortiz and his team will guide you toward the right option for natural-looking results.

What’s the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?

Wrinkle relaxers like BOTOX® work by reducing muscle movement to soften dynamic lines (such as frown lines and crow’s feet). Dermal fillers, on the other hand, add volume to smooth static wrinkles, restore facial fullness, or enhance features like lips and cheeks.

How long do dermal filler results last?

The longevity of results depends on the filler used and the treatment area. For some, results may last up to a year, while others may need a touch-up after several months. Regular maintenance treatments help preserve your refreshed appearance.

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can smooth marionette lines, parentheses lines, and fine wrinkles around the mouth and nose. They can also add volume to the lips and cheeks or rejuvenate areas like the hands.
