Fillers
IN NASHVILLE, TN
What are Fillers?
Fillers (also known as dermal fillers or wrinkle fillers) are aesthetic formulas that, when injected, can restore volume and plump up and smooth wrinkles to achieve a more youthful appearance. They can be made out of a number of different active ingredients, including hyaluronic acid and poly-l-lactic acid. Which ingredient is used in the injectable dermal filler treatment will determine when the results show up and how long your results will last.
Ideal Candidate for Fillers
Most patients struggling with lines and wrinkles and facial volume loss are typically good candidates for fillers. That said, there are some criteria we look for to determine a patient’s eligibility for these soft tissue fillers. We require patients to be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
Pre-treatment Recommendations for Fillers
Before your injectable filler treatment, there are a few guidelines you’ll want to follow to ensure the best results. Pre-treatment, we recommend avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications. You’ll also want to stay hydrated, stop using certain skincare products with retinol, retinoids, and glycolic acids, and avoid strenuous exercises at least 24 hours beforehand.

Filler Treatment
Dermal filler treatment is a relatively simple procedure. Your provider will start by cleansing the treatment area and preparing the injections. From there, we’ll mark the injection sites and inject the dermal fillers under the skin. Where we inject dermal fillers will depend on where your concerns are.
How many injections you receive will depend on the results you’re looking for and the intensity of your wrinkles and volume loss.

Results and Recovery
After receiving dermal filler injections, you might experience some swelling, bruising, and tenderness, but those side effects will dissipate within a few hours to a few days. We recommend applying an ice pack to the injection sites to help ease swelling and any discomfort.
As for results, it can depend on the type of dermal filler injections. With hyaluronic acid fillers, you will notice improvements immediately. With PLLA fillers and collagen stimulators, the results can take several weeks to appear. Results can last anywhere from a few months to a few years.
