Dermal Fillers at Saxon MD
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a group of cosmetic injectable products that are used to address aesthetic concerns in the face and some other parts of the body.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to treat fine lines, wrinkles, and hollow areas and add volume to cheeks, lips, or the chin. In the body, dermal fillers are often used in the neck or hands. There are a wide array of fillers that work differently, are made from different ingredients, and target specific concerns. These include biostimulatory fillers like Radiesse, Sculptra, and Renuva, which encourage natural collagen production. Neuromodulators like Botox, which paralyze tiny muscles in the face to smooth wrinkles, are another category of dermal fillers. Popular recently are hyaluronic acid fillers such as Belotero and Juvederm, which literally “fill” treatment areas to smooth wrinkles and add volume.
Erase lines and wrinkles, restore lost volume, and so much more.
With no sedation, no surgery, and very little to no downtime, this treatment is a quick and simple yet effective option.
Dermal fillers are one of the most versatile cosmetic treatments and work to address concerns throughout the body including:
- Eye area
- Temples
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Chin
- Hands

Consultation and Preparation
Can I combine Dermal Fillers with other aesthetic procedures?
Dermal fillers are just one tool in our wide array of treatment options. Skin rejuvenation might include laser treatments, facials, microneedling, or other methods that can all help you achieve your specific goals.
Most dermal filler appointments only take about 30 minutes to complete depending on the area that’s being treated. We will most likely start off with cleansing the area and applying a topical numbing cream if that’s your preference. Then, the filler will be expertly injected based on your treatment plan to create a natural, vibrant look.

Are Dermal Fillers painful?
Since dermal fillers are given via injection, most involve the slight pinch of a needle. Topical numbing creams can be used to help ease any discomfort.
How often should I expect to schedule follow-up Injectable treatments to maintain results?
Follow-ups will depend on which type of filler is used and your overall aesthetic goals.
Are dermal fillers used to treat expression lines?
Yes, dermal fillers are an effective treatment for expression lines such as crow’s feet and nasolabial folds.
Are Dermal Fillers safe? What are the risks?
When administered by a trained professional, dermal fillers are incredibly safe and carry a very low risk of serious side effects. Some patients may experience minor swelling or redness.
Are Dermal Fillers permanent?
Dermal fillers are not permanent, and the duration of results varies anywhere from 3 to 18 months, depending on which type of filler is used and where the filler was used for treatment.
Will Dermal Fillers ruin my lips?
This is a common misconception due to instances where lip injections have been administered improperly, unsafely, and by amateur injectors. When fillers are injected by a doctor or qualified professional who understands facial anatomy, lip fillers will not ruin your lips, and if you choose to stop using fillers, they will return to their original size and shape.
Can I get Dermal Fillers while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No, dermal fillers are not recommended while pregnant or breastfeeding.
How long should I wait to eat or drink after having my lips filled?
It will take a few hours for numbness to wear off, and you should wait until full sensation returns to eat or drink.
