Dermal Fillers & Volume Contour Filler
Dermal fillers are one of the most effective treatments to smooth wrinkles and restore volume to sagging skin. There are several types of dermal fillers, each with their own benefit and use. If you are considering dermal fillers, there’s plenty to know about them so you can make the best choice for you.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injections that replace lost volume to plump up the look of wrinkles and fine lines to restore volume to your face. Injected under the skin, dermal fillers can enhance your facial features and give you a more youthful appearance.
Dermal Filler Products We Use:
At ACME Med Spa, we use only the highest quality dermal fillers to ensure natural-looking, long-lasting results tailored to your specific needs. Our selection of fillers includes:

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a dermal filler treatment take?
Dermal filler injections are quick and easy. Depending on the type of filler used and the treatment zones, they take about up to 45 minutes.
Is dermal filler treatment painful?
Dermal fillers are not known to be painful, although you may feel some pressure or slight stinging when the needle meets the skin. We use Stylage filler, which is available with and without lidocaine.
Are there any side effects of dermal fillers?
Fillers are generally well-tolerated, but mild bruising, swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection site are normal. Usually, this subsides within a few days.
How long do the effects of dermal fillers last?
Each type of dermal filler has a different longevity. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the shortest-lasting and can provide results for six months to one year or longer, depending on where they are injected. Collagen-stimulating fillers can last up to two years or more.
Can dermal fillers be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Dermal fillers are often used in tandem with other types of injections and antiaging treatments and solutions to give the face a holistic, balanced look.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Good candidates for dermal fillers are those in good health with mild to moderate lines, folds or wrinkles, or other age-related problem areas that they do not want to correct with surgery.
What should I do before and after a dermal filler treatment?
It's best to follow all your injector's pre and post-instructions, which will likely include avoiding blood thinners and certain supplements in the days leading up to your injection appointment. It's also wise to stop using exfoliating products and acids a day or two before your treatment, avoid hair removal methods, and not drink alcohol the day before. After your appointment, you'll want to apply an ice pack periodically, take arnica to help with swelling and bruising, avoid touching or massaging the injection site, skip working out for a day or so, and sleep with your head propped up on a pillow so that the filler settles properly.
