HOW IT WORKS

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels — most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin already produces naturally — used to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and soften facial contours. The gel is placed directly into the targeted area with a fine needle or cannula, and results are visible right away, though any initial swelling typically settles over the following days to reveal the final look.

Fillers are often mentioned alongside Tox, but the two work differently and target different things. Tox relaxes the muscles behind expression lines — the creases that show up when you smile or frown. Fillers instead add volume and support to soften static wrinkles, the lines that are still visible even when your face is at rest, which usually come from volume loss and reduced skin elasticity rather than muscle movement. We offer both at Laser Aesthetic Spa, and which one (or combination) makes sense depends on what you're seeing in the mirror.

Common areas we treat include the cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), lips, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. Mild bruising or swelling at the injection sites is a normal, temporary part of the process. We'll talk through your goals, the area involved, and what to expect at your consultation before any treatment is planned.

YOUR VISIT

What To Expect

Here’s the honest rundown of a dermal filler appointment, from injection to final results.

The Treatment

The filler gel is injected directly into the targeted area with a fine needle or cannula. Sessions are typically quick, and a topical numbing agent can help keep you comfortable during injection.

Session length: Typically 30–45 minutes

Recovery & Downtime

Mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites is normal and temporary. Most patients return to their regular routine the same day, with any residual swelling settling over the following days.

Recovery: Minimal, a few days for swelling to settle

Results Timeline

Volume is visible immediately after treatment. As any initial swelling resolves, the final, settled result comes into view — results are temporary and generally last longer than Tox, though how long varies by product, area, and individual.

Results: Immediate, with final look settling over days

COMMON QUESTIONS

Dermal Filler FAQs

Fillers add volume and soften static wrinkles — the lines still visible when your face is at rest. Tox relaxes the muscles behind dynamic, expression-driven wrinkles, like the creases that appear when you smile or frown. We offer both at Laser Aesthetic Spa and can help you figure out which one (or combination) fits what you’re seeing, at a consultation.

Immediately — you’ll see added volume and contour right after injection. Any initial swelling typically settles over the following days, at which point the final, settled result becomes visible.

Results are temporary but generally last longer than Tox — commonly many months, depending on the product used, the area treated, and your own body. We’ll talk through realistic expectations for your specific treatment at your consultation.

Most patients tolerate it well. A topical numbing agent can be used beforehand to help with comfort, and any discomfort during injection is typically brief. Mild bruising or tenderness afterward is normal and fades on its own.

Common areas include the cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), lips, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. Which area makes sense for you depends on your goals — we’ll review that together at your consultation.

Downtime is minimal. Mild bruising or swelling at the injection sites is normal and temporary, and most patients are comfortable returning to their regular routine the same day.
