Dermal Fillers In Escondido, Ca
Dermal fillers are injected treatments that use hyaluronic acid gel to restore volume and reduce signs of aging in the face. This naturally occurring substance helps hydrate and plump skin, filling in wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers can address various concerns, including nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lip enhancement, cheek augmentation, and under-eye hollows. The treatment involves carefully injecting the gel into specific areas to achieve desired results.
This treatment is ideal for adults looking to rejuvenate their appearance without surgery. The results of treatment are usually visible as soon as the treatment is completed, with full effects developing over the following weeks. According to the type of filler used and the area treated, results can last for 6 to 18 months. These non-surgical solutions are ideal for those looking to refresh their look.

The term “dermal filler” refers to injectable hyaluronic acid gel. This clear gel naturally occurs in the body and will gradually biodegrade over time. Skin naturally contains hyaluronic acid that fills spaces between collagen and elastin fibers. It can hold up to 50 times its weight in water and acts as a humectant to keep the skin hydrated. Due to aging, hyaluronic acid naturally decreases in the skin, which contributes to fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
Dermal fillers (Restylane®, Juvederm®, Versa®, RHA®) can be injected into the skin to restore hyaluronic acid, improve volume, and reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.
Aftercare For Filler Treatments
After your dermal filler treatment, expect some swelling, redness, and possible bruising, which typically subside within 2 weeks. Resume normal activities immediately, except for heavy exercise on the same day. During the first 24 hours, avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas to reduce infection risk, and don’t massage the filler to prevent migration. Arnica may help with bruising. Mild lumps or unevenness are normal due to swelling; allow 2 weeks before re-evaluation. Your provider may give additional aftercare instructions based on the specific areas treated. By following these guidelines, you will be able to achieve the best results from your dermal filler treatment.
