Fillers

As you get older, your skin loses its natural volume due to decreases in collagen and hyaluronic acid production. Fillers are a cosmetic injection that restores this lost volume, rejuvenating your look. The experienced cosmetic dermatologists at Redwood Empire Dermatology provide fillers at their offices in Healdsburg, Santa Rosa, and Oakmont, California. To find out more about fillers, call the office nearest you or schedule an appointment online today.

What are fillers?

Fillers are a popular cosmetic injection that instantly rejuvenates your look with little to no downtime. The gel-like injections add volume under the skin to:

• Fill in lines and wrinkles
• Augment and enhance lips
• Reduce under-eye circles
• Improve facial symmetry
• Plump up sunken cheeks

Redwood Empire Dermatology has been providing expert skin care for those living in and around Sonoma County since 1985. The team of dermatologists includes experts in cosmetic dermatology who provide fillers to revitalize your look.

What are the types of fillers?

There are many types of fillers. At Redwood Empire Dermatology, the team uses:

Juvéderm® products

Juvéderm is a line of fillers that contain a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel. HA is a substance naturally found in your skin that helps your skin retain moisture. Redwood Empire Dermatology uses Juvéderm fillers to fill in facial lines and folds, enhance cheeks, and enhance lips.

Restylane® products

Restylane is a line of fillers that also contains hyaluronic acid. Redwood Empire Dermatology uses Restylane fillers to fill in facial lines and folds, enhance cheeks, minimize under eye shadows and enhance lips.

Belotero Balance® 

Belotero Balance is another hyaluronic acid filler that the team at Redwood Empire Dermatology uses to treat vertical lip lines and to fill in fine lines around the mouth and on the cheeks.

What happens during injection with fillers?

The skilled cosmetic dermatologists at Redwood Empire Dermatology customize your filler injection plan to match your needs. This includes dermal filler type and placement of the injection. They review the details of your plan at your consultation, so you know what to expect.

First, they clean your skin with an antibacterial agent. Then, they carefully inject the filler under your skin, massaging and injecting, until they get the desired look.

You may feel some discomfort during your injections. To reduce discomfort, the team may apply a numbing lotion to your skin before starting your session, and some fillers contain lidocaine. 

What can I expect after fillers?

You can expect immediate results following filler injections at Redwood Empire Dermatology. You may have some redness, swelling, or bruising at the site of the injections, but you can use cold packs and topical creams to reduce these side effects.

Results last six or more months. Some fillers may provide results that last up to two years.
