What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid or other biocompatible substances, fillers mimic the naturally occurring elements in your skin that keep it hydrated and plump. This versatile treatment can address various concerns, from lip enhancement to deep smile lines, helping you look refreshed and rejuvenated.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Dr. Chamata uses an array of advanced dermal fillers to achieve specific results based on your unique needs. The most common types of fillers include:

  • Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers: These popular fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, hydrate and plump the skin while delivering natural-looking results.
  • Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) Fillers: Radiesse is an example of this filler, designed to provide structure and stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results.
  • Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers: Sculptra gradually stimulates collagen growth to improve volume and skin texture over time.
  • Collagen-Based Fillers: These fillers replace the collagen lost as you age, providing subtle enhancements.

During your consultation, Dr. Chamata will guide you in selecting the most appropriate filler for your needs.

Which filler is right for you?

Several different types of hyaluronic acid fillers have been developed to treat specific facial areas. When you come to Dr. Chamata, you can be confident that he will select the ideal dermal filler to achieve your vision of beauty. Whether you are looking to enhance your lips, cheeks, or jawline, we will choose the ideal filler to give you the ideal look you’ve always wanted.

Hyaluronic acid: nature’s skin-plumping ingredient

The hyaluronic acid-based fillers mimic the natural hyaluronic acid produced by your skin cells. HA is found in every area of your body and is critical in maintaining a healthy skin hydration level. Over time, your skin stops producing this crucial element in the same quantities, and environmental factors such as free radicals and UV rays can degrade it. The end result is dryer skin that develops wrinkles, lines, and creases. While there is no escaping the passage of time, you do have the option to outsmart nature with the help of dermal fillers.

Which Fillers Are Best for Your Lips?

Lip fillers in Houston require precision, artistry, and an expert understanding of facial harmony to achieve a natural and balanced look.

For this delicate area, hyaluronic acid-based fillers such as Juvéderm Volbella and Restylane Silk are popular choices, as they are designed to provide soft, subtle volume while enhancing the overall appearance of the lips. These fillers can redefine lip borders, smooth fine lines around the mouth, and improve symmetry, creating a refreshed and youthful appearance without looking overdone.

Dr. Chamata’s meticulous approach and aesthetic expertise ensure personalized results that enhance your unique beauty, leaving you with lips that look effortlessly natural and perfectly proportioned.

What to Expect When Getting Dermal Filler Injections

Your dermal filler treatment begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Chamata assesses your facial structure and discusses your goals. The injection process itself is quick, often taking less than 30 minutes.

A numbing agent may be applied to ensure your comfort, and the filler is carefully injected into specific areas to achieve optimal results. Afterward, you may experience mild swelling or redness, which typically subsides within a few days. The results are visible almost immediately and can last several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.

Are there any side effects with dermal fillers?

Side effects are typically mild and temporary, including redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site.

Are dermal fillers painful?

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during the procedure, especially since numbing agents are often used. The injections are quick and performed with precision to minimize any pain.

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last 6 to 18 months, while other fillers like Sculptra may provide results for up to two years.
