What are
Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
These advanced treatments represent the pinnacle of non-surgical facial rejuvenation, offering a sophisticated solution to combat visible signs of aging. At Van Michael Aesthetics, we exclusively use FDA-approved dermal fillers, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy for our discerning clientele.
Our range of dermal fillers includes several types. Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers, such as Juvéderm and Restylane, utilize a naturally occurring substance in the body known for its ability to attract and retain moisture, providing immediate volume and hydration. Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers, like Radiesse, contain a mineral-like compound found in human bones that offers immediate volume and stimulates natural collagen production. Poly-L-lactic Acid fillers, such as Sculptra, work as collagen stimulators, gradually restoring facial volume over time.
Each type of filler is carefully selected based on the specific area to be treated, the desired outcome, and your unique facial anatomy. Our expert practitioners at Van Michael Aesthetics possess an intimate understanding of these products, allowing them to choose the most appropriate filler or combination of fillers to achieve harmonious, natural-looking results.
The Art and Science of Rejuvenation
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
The application of dermal fillers is a sophisticated process that blends artistic vision with scientific precision.
At Van Michael Aesthetics, our experts begin with a comprehensive facial assessment, analyzing your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. This evaluation is crucial for crafting a treatment plan that addresses your specific concerns while preserving facial harmony.
Using fine needles or cannulas, our skilled practitioners strategically inject small amounts of filler into targeted areas of the face. The depth and technique of injection are tailored to the specific area being treated and the type of filler used. Dermal fillers immediately restore volume to the treated areas, smoothing wrinkles, enhancing contours, or augmenting features such as the lips or cheeks.
Many fillers, especially those containing calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid, stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, gradually improving skin quality and volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers, in particular, attract and retain water molecules, providing ongoing hydration and a plump, youthful appearance. For optimal results, our practitioners may employ a layering technique using various fillers at different depths to precisely sculpt facial contours and simultaneously address multiple signs of aging.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, with most patients resuming their daily activities after their treatment. While minor swelling or bruising may occur, it generally subsides within a few days. By leveraging the unique properties of different fillers and advanced injection techniques, our team achieves remarkable, natural-looking rejuvenation that enhances your inherent beauty while maintaining the distinctive features of your face.

Frequently
Asked Questions
How long do dermal filler results last?
The longevity of dermal filler results varies depending on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Generally, you can expect results to last anywhere from 6 to 18 months, with some advanced fillers providing benefits for up to 2 years.
Is the treatment painful?
Your comfort is our priority. While most patients report minimal discomfort, we offer topical anesthetics. Many fillers contain lidocaine, which helps minimize pain during the dermal filler treatment.
Are there any side effects?
Minor side effects, such as temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, may occur but typically resolve within a few days. To minimize these side effects, we recommend that you start taking Arnica Montana and Bromelain four days before your appointment. Additionally, our skilled practitioners use advanced techniques to minimize these effects.
How soon can I return to my normal activities?
One of the advantages of dermal fillers is the minimal downtime. Most patients return to their daily routines immediately; however, some redness, swelling, or bruising may occur. Therefore, you should avoid hot showers and aerobic exercise for 24 hours after treatment.
Can dermal fillers be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Many patients opt to combine dermal fillers with other noninvasive treatments, like Botox. Our experts will guide you in choosing the best treatments for you.
