Dermal Fillers

Fine lines, facial folds, and volume loss can alter the balance of your features over time. Dermal fillers provide a minimally invasive method for restoring softness and structure, yielding immediate results. At Westchester Center for Dermatology in Scarsdale, our cosmetic services are carefully designed to enhance natural facial contours without overcorrection.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Numerous types of lines and wrinkles form on the face. Some of these age lines are very shallow and are created by overactive facial muscles. Other types of wrinkles are deeper and can be pronounced. These deeper wrinkles form as a result of the skin’s gradual decline in hyaluronic acid and collagen protein.
To address moderate-to-severe facial wrinkles and folds, many patients seek dermal filler treatments. Fillers are injectable products that restore facial volume beneath wrinkles, helping to smooth them and result in smooth, youthful-looking skin. They support the facial structure where collagen has thinned. Westchester Center for Dermatology offers only Restylane fillers, a biocompatible option with a long clinical history.
What we offer
We have been trained to administer multiple popular injectable products properly. Every filler is different and serves a different purpose. The choice of filler depends on several factors, including the treatment area and the desired results.
At our practice, we offer Restylane, a filler that is very similar to Juvederm in terms of its composition (hyaluronic acid) and uses (wrinkle filling and volume enhancement). Its effects have been observed to last 12-24 months. The main difference between Restylane and Juvederm lies in their consistency.
Am I a Good Candidate for Filler Treatments?
The best candidates for filler treatments are individuals seeking a non-surgical option to improve moderate-to-severe lines and wrinkles. Fillers are also effective for enhancing volume in sunken cheeks or thin lips. The treatments can also benefit those looking to define their jawline or address hollow temples without undergoing surgery. Dermal fillers are ideal for individuals seeking a gradual, natural-looking transformation.
A healthy lifestyle and commitment to good skin care can make filler treatments last longer. Use the recommended skin care products to maintain glowing skin.
What to Expect Before and During Dermal Filler Treatments
How to prepare for your dermal filler procedure
Before your filler treatment, you will need to avoid medications like aspirin, other NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs), and certain herbal supplements to prevent excessive swelling or bruising. Avoiding alcohol is also recommended.
Schedule any strenuous activities 48 hours after your filler treatment appointment, as well as avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, or any other activity that can cause excessive sweating. This will allow enough time for the filler to settle in and become more effective.
Two days before your filler treatment, avoid applying anti-aging products to your face. Refrain from bleaching, waxing, and any other hair-removal treatment.
Coming in for filler treatments
Filler treatments are typically quick and convenient. They begin by marking the treatment areas to create a guide for the procedure. These areas will also need to be numbed. In many cases, a local anesthetic may be included in the filler formulation, so it does not need to be injected beforehand. In other cases, a topical anesthetic must be applied before the filler injections.
Once the treatment areas are prepared, our medical professionals will carefully inject small amounts of filler. The process usually takes no more than an hour to complete and often less.
Recovery and Aftercare
After treatment, the patient may go home or return to work, as there will be no extended healing or downtime following the injections. It makes filler treatments much more convenient and comfortable than surgical procedures.
A few reminders after treatment include avoiding pressure on the treated areas, limiting strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and following the personalized guidance provided at your visit. Final results become more refined as swelling subsides.
