A gradual loss of facial volume can make wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas more noticeable over time. Injectable fillers offer a minimally invasive way to restore youthful contours through non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Ioannis P. Glavas, a board-certified ophthalmologist with fellowship training in oculofacial plastic and reconstructive surgery, provides personalized dermal filler treatment plans designed to complement your natural facial features.
What Are Injectable Fillers?
Injectable fillers are soft gel-like substances placed beneath the skin to restore lost volume, soften facial lines, and improve facial contours. Many hyaluronic acid fillers attract moisture within the skin, helping create a smoother, fuller appearance while maintaining natural facial movement.
Depending on your concerns, cosmetic injectable treatment may be used to improve the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, jawline, or under-eye area. Treatment recommendations are based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Glavas can help you erase wrinkles and skin folds in minutes. Feel and look years younger! All it takes is a visit to the office for a filler injection. There is a great selection of safe, long-lasting, FDA-approved fillers.
Types of Injectable Fillers We Offer
- JUVÉDERM®
- Restylane® and Perlane®
- RADIESSE®
- LIPOTRANSFER
JUVÉDERM is a smooth consistency gel made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin that helps to add volume and hydration. Our providers ease JUVÉDERM injectable gel under the skin to restore facial volume and soften wrinkles and folds, including your “smile lines” or “parentheses” (nasolabial folds, or the creases that run from the bottom of your nose to the corners of your mouth). No pretreatment skin test is needed.
Restylane and Perlane are hyaluronic acid fillers used to restore facial volume and soften wrinkles and folds. They can also enhance facial contours while maintaining a natural appearance.
RADIESSE is a dermal filler made with calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres that provides immediate volume while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. It is commonly used to improve deeper facial folds and restore facial structure.
Lipotransfer, also called fat transfer, uses your own purified fat to restore volume in areas of the face that have become hollow with age. Because it uses your body’s own tissue, it offers a natural option for long-lasting facial volume restoration.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for injectable fillers if you have mild to moderate facial volume loss, deeper facial folds, or would like fuller facial contours without surgery. Ideal candidates are in good general health and have realistic expectations about the results.
During your consultation, Dr. Glavas evaluates your facial structure and discusses your goals before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.
What Happens During Treatment?
Your appointment begins with a consultation and facial assessment to identify the areas that may benefit from facial volume restoration. After cleansing the skin, Dr. Glavas carefully places the filler using a fine needle or cannula to achieve balanced, natural-looking contours.
The filler is gently molded as needed to create smooth transitions between treated areas. Most appointments take less than an hour, and many hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine to improve comfort throughout the procedure.
Recovery and Results
Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur but typically improves within several days.
Results are often visible immediately, with final improvements becoming more apparent as swelling subsides. The longevity of injectable fillers varies depending on the product used, treatment area, and your body’s natural metabolism.
