Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic dermatology treatment for those looking to enhance their natural beauty by adding volume, smoothing wrinkles, and restoring youthful contours.
With so many types available, though, choosing the right filler for you can feel overwhelming.
At SkinSmart Dermatology, we offer various fillers at our 10,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility. We know that understanding your options and what to look for can help you achieve the best, most natural-looking results.
Types of Fillers and Their Applications
The world of fillers offers various options. Each has unique properties designed for specific outcomes.
For example, fillers like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® are made of hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance that hydrates and plumps the skin.
JUVÉDERM is often used for enhancing volume in areas like the lips and cheeks. Restylane works well for fine lines and subtle facial contouring.
Other fillers like Radiesse® are calcium-based and provide more structural support. Radiesse is often used for deep-set wrinkles or adding definition to areas like the jawline.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Filler
You should consider a few factors when deciding which filler to use:
Your Desired Results
Do you want to add fullness to your lips, restore volume to your cheeks, or smooth deep-set wrinkles? Different fillers are formulated for different purposes.
For example, softer fillers are often better suited for lips. Thicker, firmer fillers work well for areas that need more structure.
Longevity of the Results
How long do you want your filler to last? Hyaluronic acid fillers generally last six months to a year. However, other types, like Radiesse, can last up to 18 months.
Skin Type and Age
Skin type and elasticity affect how well the filler settles and how long it lasts. A customized approach is essential for natural results that enhance your unique features.

Selecting a filler type can seem daunting at first. The good news is that you don’t have to make the decision alone.
