Dermal Fillers Bridgewater, NJ

Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to restore volume, contour, soften wrinkles, and enhance facial proportions. The most popular fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan that attracts water to give the extracellular matrix its volume. HA fillers are a popular minimally invasive cosmetic procedure performed in the United States, with over 5.3 million cosmetic HA filler injections performed in 2024. For patients considering different options for facial rejuvenation, injectable treatments can address a range of concerns, from volume loss and wrinkles to facial contouring and definition.

Cheeks and Midface Fillers

Fillers add volume to the malar and submalar areas lost due to facial aging, as they help enhance the cheek projection and midface contour. Treatment also helps minimize the appearance of tear-trough deformity and nasolabial folds not only by filling the visible crease but by restoring structural support. FDA-approved fillers address concerns such as correction of age-related midface volume deficiencies.

Lips Fillers

Dermal Filler for Lip Augmentation near Bridgewater increases lip volume, creates a better Vermilion Border, creates a better Cupid’s bow, and creates better Symmetry between the lips. Fillers can also be used to treat downturned oral commissures and perioral rhytides. In the case of RHA 3 Dermal Filler, FDA data showed that about 78% of patients maintained lip volume after 12 weeks, while 48% continued to experience it at 1 year.

Nasolabial Folds Fillers

Nasolabial folds (NLFs) are folds originating from the sides of the nose and run towards the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers are used for soft-tissue volume replacement and to enhance the depth of moderate to severe nasolabial folds. 

Chin Fillers

Dermal fillers for chin augmentation help with chin retrusion, facial profile weakness, facial balance, chin volume loss, enhance chin projection and definition. Placement of strategic fillers over the mental area help to bring forth more chin projection and cervicomental definition. FDA clinical study of Restylane Defyne evaluated the results of 86.1% of its patients at 12 weeks, which resulted in an improved appearance of their chin profile, and 73.7% at 48 weeks.

Jawline Fillers

Jawline filler help improve the shape and jaw outline, especially in the area of the mandibular body, angle, and prejowl. Treatment is employed to enhance symmetry of the lower face and to make the lower face and jawline more distinct.

Under-Eye Hollows Fillers

Infraorbital hollow/tear-trough volume deficiency is treated with carefully selected fillers and shadowing created with changes in lower eyelid contour. It is an anatomically sensitive area due to the proximity of important vascular structures and the orbit to it; hence the selection of product, depth of injection, and the expertise of the practitioner is particularly important. Infraorbital hollows have been identified in the FDA materials as an anatomical filler indication.

Marionette Lines and Lower Face Fillers

Fillers help diminish oral commissure lines, run from the corners of the mouth to the chin, and help to fill in plumper around the lower face. Depending on the type of facial anatomy, treatment also include correcting the sulcus (fold) in the area of the jowls and correcting the contour changes seen in the mandible with age. The choice of filler is tailored to the individual patient’s underlying skeletal structure, fat compartments,s and level of soft tissue deflation.

Perioral Lines Fillers

Fit-for-purpose dermal fillers are used for the treatment of fine vertical lines around the mouth (perioral rhytides). The aim is to achieve the illusion of subtle fullness of the dermis rather than to create too much lip fullness and to smooth out the transition between the vermilion and skin of the lips.

Temple Fillers

As a person ages, the loss of fat and soft tissues in the face result in a hollowed depression in the temporal region. Fillers rejuvenate the volume and balance of the face. The temples are an important area of the head that has important neurovascular structures; however, this makes it a technically challenging treatment area and requires advanced anatomical knowledge. 

Acne scars and Facial Contour Deficiencies

Some fillers also enhance the look of an atrophic acne scar, especially depressed scars caused by a loss of dermal volume at a particular location. Dermal fillers raise the low part of the scar up to the level of the surrounding skin and smooth out the contours.
