Over time, our skin loses volume, leading to concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, sagging, and thinning lips. Thankfully, dermal fillers can help bring back some of that lost volume to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance. At Gifted Medspa in Cary, NC, we proudly offer dermal fillers as a crucial part of our comprehensive range of aesthetic treatments. Dermal fillers are a popular way to address various signs of aging, providing a smoother, more youthful look. With dermal fillers, you can trust us to provide a tailored approach to achieving your aesthetic goals.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a cosmetic treatment that involves the injection of gel-like substances beneath the skin’s surface to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. The primary ingredient in most fillers is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its ability to retain moisture and create a plump, hydrated appearance.
Once injected, dermal fillers work by integrating into the tissue, providing support and structure to areas affected by aging or volume loss. Depending on the type used, they can also improve skin elasticity and deliver long-lasting results to help you maintain a natural, youthful appearance. Whether used to soften deep wrinkles, enhance lips, or contour the jawline, dermal fillers offer a versatile and minimally invasive solution to rejuvenate your look.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Instant Results
One of the most appealing aspects of dermal fillers is the immediate improvement in appearance. Unlike some treatments that require time to show results, fillers provide instant enhancement, allowing patients to enjoy their rejuvenated look right after the treatment.
Minimal Downtime
Dermal fillers offer a fast and simple treatment with little downtime. Patients can continue their day-to-day activities immediately after treatment, making it convenient for those on the go.
Natural-Looking Results
When administered by skilled professionals, dermal fillers can produce natural-looking results. We aim to subtly enhance your features so you still look like yourself but refreshed and revitalized.
Customizable Treatments
Dermal fillers offer a high degree of customization. The type and amount of filler used can be customized to address specific concerns and achieve the desired outcome, whether adding volume to the lips or smoothing out nasolabial folds.
Long-Lasting Effects
While not permanent, the effects of dermal fillers can last for several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. This provides a relatively long-lasting solution to common signs of aging.
Non-Surgical Alternative
For those hesitant about undergoing surgery, dermal fillers provide a non-surgical alternative for facial rejuvenation compared to more invasive procedures. This means less risk and no need for general anesthesia or lengthy recovery periods.
Compatibility With Other Treatments
Dermal fillers can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as Botox® or laser therapy, for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. This allows for a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns simultaneously.
What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers are a versatile solution for restoring volume, smoothing out wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. These injectable treatments work by replenishing lost volume beneath the skin, delivering immediate and natural-looking results. Some of the most common concerns treated with dermal fillers include:
- Nasolabial folds
- Marionette lines
- Sunken or hollow cheeks
- Thinning lips
- Dark circles beneath the eyes
- Lines around the nose and mouth
- Loss of chin or jawline definition
- Uneven facial contours
- Aging hands
Dermal fillers are an excellent choice for individuals looking to enhance their natural features or combat signs of aging without surgery. With a variety of filler options tailored to different areas of the face, treatments can be customized to your specific needs and aesthetic goals.
Dermal Fillers at Gifted Medspa
At Gifted Medspa, we offer both Juvéderm and Restylane, two of the most trusted and effective brands on the market. These fillers are designed to address a range of concerns, from smoothing fine lines and wrinkles to restoring lost volume and enhancing your facial contours.
JUVÉDERM®
Juvéderm is a popular line of dermal fillers that uses hyaluronic acid to restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles and lines. Juvéderm is known for its smooth consistency and long-lasting results, making it a favorite choice for enhancing the lips, cheeks, and other facial areas.
Restylane®
Restylane is another highly regarded dermal filler that utilizes hyaluronic acid. It’s designed to mimic your body’s natural hyaluronic acid, providing natural-looking results. Restylane is particularly effective for treating under-eye circles, enhancing the lips, and facial contouring.
The RHA® Collection
The RHA Collection by Revance is a line of dermal fillers made with resilient hyaluronic acid (RHA) specifically designed to adapt to your facial movements. These fillers return to their original shape after being stretched or compressed, making them ideal for more dynamic areas without making your facial expressions look stiff or unnatural.
What to Anticipate with Dermal Fillers
Preparation
Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure a sterile environment. For some injectable fillers, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. It’s important to discuss any allergies or medical conditions with us to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Injection
We will be carefully injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. We will strategically place the filler to achieve the desired results, such as smoothing wrinkles or adding volume to the lips. Dermal filler injections are quick, typically taking only a few minutes per area, and most patients report only mild discomfort, similar to a slight pinch.
Post-Treatment
After receiving the injections, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising. These side effects are common and usually mild. They typically subside within a few days. You can alleviate swelling by applying ice to the area, and it’s recommended to avoid engaging in strenuous activities for the first 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly.

We can provide additional information for a more precise estimate of how long your specific treatment plan will last.

How Do I Know Which Dermal Filler Is Right for Me?
During your consultation with us, we will assess your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to recommend the most suitable dermal filler. Factors such as the area to be treated, desired results, and the filler’s longevity will be considered in making this decision.
Ideal Candidates for Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a great option for individuals looking to address volume loss, smooth wrinkles, or enhance their natural facial contours. Ideal candidates for fillers are generally in good health and have realistic expectations about the results. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Notice signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, or volume loss in the face
- Want to enhance specific facial features, such as the lips, cheeks, or jawline
- Prefer a minimally invasive option for facial rejuvenation
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Do not have allergies or sensitivities to the ingredients used
During your consultation, our experienced providers will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine if dermal fillers are the right choice for you. With a customized treatment plan, you can achieve natural, refreshed results that align with your aesthetic vision.
The Perfect Pair: Fillers and Neuromodulators
Dermal fillers and neuromodulators are a powerful combination for achieving comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While fillers restore lost volume, enhance facial contours and smooth away deeper static wrinkles, neuromodulators target the dynamic lines that appear with every expression you make, such as crow’s feet or forehead creases.
Together, these treatments address multiple signs of aging, delivering more balanced and natural-looking results. During your consultation, our team can design a customized plan that combines dermal fillers and neuromodulators in a way that suits your unique anatomy and goals. Experience the best of both worlds and achieve a beautifully refreshed look!
