Dermal fillers consist of gel-like substances designed to replenish facial volume, featuring specialized blends of active ingredients that replicate the natural collagen in the skin. While the compositions of dermal fillers may vary, they uniformly contribute volume to harmonize facial features and elevate your inherent beauty. At Studio 17, we provide a variety of dermal fillers, each excelling in specific applications.

Dermal fillers require little to no downtime, which means you can return to your usual activities right after treatment. You may experience minor bruising, swelling, or sensitivity in the injection site, but this is typically minor and will fade within a day or two. You can gently apply ice to the treatment area to help alleviate these symptoms if they occur. Most individuals experience little to no reaction to dermal filler injections.

The effects of dermal fillers are temporary, and over time their formula will begin to diminish, making it an excellent option for those who are not comfortable committing to a long-term procedure. Each dermal filler has an expected lifespan, which will vary depending on its formula and placement.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers typically last between six months and two years. Fillers used in the lips or other dynamic areas of the face do not usually last as long as those for the mid-face area or deep wrinkles. Because Sculptra® and Radiesse® promote collagen development, their results can last two years or more. The collagen produced typically outlasts the filler material, which can help results last longer.

Most individuals seeking to enhance their facial volume as well as smooth fine lines and wrinkles make good candidates for dermal fillers. Candidates should be in good health and have reasonable expectations of the results theycan achieve with dermal fillers. The best way to determine if dermal fillers are right for you is by booking a consultation with one of our expert staff at Studio 17 Cosmetics and Wellness.
