How to Choose the Right Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers are an excellent choice for minimizing wrinkles, plumping lips, filling

out shallow contours, and restoring youthful fullness to the face. However, with

all the different options of dermal fillers available today, choosing the right one can be overwhelming. To help you find not only the right dermal filler for you, but also the best doctor or injector we have worked on

a list to help you through your decision.



Choosing the right professional with a high level of experience in injecting dermal fi llers is the best way to achieve your goals

– some of the most common complaints about dermal fi llers involve cosmetic issues related to incorrect placement,

asymmetry and overfi lling. An experienced professional is most likely to avoid these problems and off er the kind of subtle

correction that’s not overdone.


Discuss your options with your injector – when choosing a dermal filler, a consultation with your injector is the best place to start. Discuss with your injector which areas can benefit from the dermal filler. Once you have decided on the areas that you might want to treat, you and your injector can decide on the dermal filler that might work best for you.


Understand the differences between dermal fi llers there are various types of temporary fi llers.

- There are fi llers based on hyaluronic acid – such as Juvederm and Restylane ( which last about a year) that are used to fi ll smaller lines around the mouth, hollowing under eyes, fine lines such as crows feet, and “smoker lines” and give volume to the lips.


- Radiesse which uses calcium hydoxylapatite lasts a year or greater and is used to give greater volume, fi ll deep lines, build cheeks and lift sagging skin with a technique called “liquid facelift”.

- Sculptra is made of poly-lactic acid and is a collagen to add volume and the results can last for 2 years or longer.


Understand the risks and possible complications – the chances of having an allergic reaction after a treatment are very small, however skin testing may be recommended if there is a chance that you might be allergic to any substance in the filler of your choice. Allergic reactions can usually be treated successfully with steroid injections on the affected area.
