If you're looking to smooth fine lines, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fill in deeper lines, plump your lips, or just to restore youthful volume to your face, dermal fillers may be the perfect non-surgical solution. At Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery, Medical Aesthetics and Wellness, our expert team specializes in providing natural-looking, long-lasting results using the latest in dermal filler technology and technique.

‍

But what exactly are dermal fillers made of—and how do they work?

‍

What Are Dermal Fillers Made Of?

The most well known dermal fillers used at Beautologie are made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—this is a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps retain moisture and create volume. As we age, our natural HA levels decrease, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of facial fullness.

‍

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers include:

• Juvederm®
  
• Restylane®

‍

These are safe, biocompatible, and deliver smooth, subtle results with minimal downtime.

‍

We also offer advanced filler options for deeper volume restoration, including:

• Radiesse® (Calcium Hydroxylapatite): Thicker and longer-lasting this is a great option for cheeks, jawline, and hands
  
• Sculptra® (Poly-L-Lactic Acid): Stimulates your body’s collagen production for long-term improvement
  

‍

Each filler is selected based on your individual goals and facial anatomy. During your consultation our Expert Injectors will help you decide which option is best for you.

‍

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers work by injecting a soft gel beneath the skin to:

• Smooth wrinkles and fine lines
  
• Restore lost volume in the cheeks or under the eyes
  
• Plump and define the lips
  
• Contour the jawline or chin
  
• Improve facial symmetry and balance
  

‍

Our skilled injectors focus on natural, refined results that enhance your unique features—not change them.

‍

Hyaluronic acid fillers also help your skin retain water, improving skin hydration and texture for a radiant glow.

‍

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The longevity of your results will depend on the type of filler and area treated:

• Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: 6 to 18 months
  
• Radiesse®: 12 to 18 months
  
• Sculptra®: Up to 2 years (with multiple sessions)
  
  

At Beautologie, we tailor your treatment plan to maintain your results and keep you looking fresh and confident. With scheduled follow up appointments and maintenance you will always look your best!

‍

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

When performed by experienced medical providers, educated in facial anatomy and the most advanced techniques, like the team at Beautologie Cosmetic Surgery and Wellness, dermal fillers are safe and effective. Side effects are typically mild, such as temporary swelling or bruising.

‍

We prioritize your comfort and safety, with personalized consultations and a conservative, artistic approach to injectables.
