Fillers Q&A
What are fillers?
Dermal fillers are viscous substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles. Fillers plump up the skin to create a fuller, more youthful appearance. By filling in fine lines, wrinkles, and facial creases, injectables allow your skin to look smoother and firmer.
The expert injectors at Bright Wellness can also reshape the contours of your face with fillers. They can enhance your cheekbones, define your jawline, or increase the volume of your lips. Some fillers can even address hand wrinkles.
How do fillers work?
Fillers work by replacing lost volume with substances such as:
Hyaluronic acid (HA)
Your body already produces hyaluronic acid. This thick gel keeps your skin plump and hydrated when you’re young. As you age, your hyaluronic acid levels diminish, which can leave your skin thin and dry. Hyaluronic acid fillers can plump your skin for up to 6-12 months.*
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
CaHA is another substance your body creates. Small calcium particles suspended in a gel can restore volume and stimulate new collagen — a protein in your connective tissues that keeps your skin firm and responsive.
Like hyaluronic acid, you lose this protein with age. By stimulating new collagen, CaHA fillers can last for 12 months or longer.*
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)
Poly-L-lactic acid fillers are collagen stimulators that offer long-lasting results. The filler dissolves within a few days of injection, leaving behind new collagen to plump and tighten your skin. Poly-L-lactic acid can last for at least two years or more.*
What types of wrinkles can fillers address?
Fillers address static wrinkles, which develop from volume loss. Most static wrinkles form in the mid and lower face. Unlike dynamic wrinkles — the result of repeated muscle movement — static wrinkles are visible when your face is at rest.
Examples of static wrinkles include:
- Nasolabial folds
- Hollow cheeks
- Marionette lines
- Jowls
- Vertical lip lines
Bright Wellness can create a personalized treatment plan that smooths static wrinkles with fillers and dynamic lines with Botox® or Dysport®.
What can I expect from fillers?
After administering a numbing cream, the Bright Wellness team injects the medication beneath your skin. Fillers offer instant results. Any swelling, bruising, or redness you experience should subside within a few hours of injection.
