Engineered to reverse signs of aging without downtime or discomfort, dermal fillers provide an excellent alternative to plastic surgery for busy, active patients. Once injected, they can erase lines and wrinkles, replenish lost volume, and even reshape the features for a more youthful, elegant appearance. Dr. Olatomide Familusi is a skilled, Fellowship-trained cosmetic expert who ensures your results are balanced, beautiful, and natural-looking.
Dermal fillers are a painless and versatile solution for combating signs of aging in the face, neck, and hands. Many fillers, such as Restylane and Juvederm, are formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), a compound found naturally in the human body. With the aging process, HA begins to dwindle, creating the need for cosmetic intervention with injectables. Hyaluronic acid acts as an instant moisturizer, binding to water molecules to give the skin plumper, more supple contours.
Other types of dermal fillers include bio-stimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra. These work by stimulating the body’s production of collagen, an all-important protein that contributes to youthful skin scaffolding and a radiant, wrinkle-free complexion. Once injected, bio-stimulators help provide a sustainable transformation from within.
In addition to reducing visible signs of aging, dermal fillers can also be used to perform a non-surgical facelift, liquid rhinoplasty, or non-surgical chin augmentation procedure. By filling in depressions or indentations, injectables can alter the shape of the features while allowing patients to resume their normal activities immediately.
Restylane – The Restylane family of dermal fillers is formulated with biocompatible hyaluronic acid, providing potent nourishment for depleted facial contours. Each Restylane product contains a unique version of HA and is engineered to solve a specific aesthetic issue, such as midface hollowness, deflated lips, or wrinkles, creases, and lines.
Juvederm – Like Restylane, Juvederm is formulated with hyaluronic acid, which works to smooth away wrinkles and lines while enhancing volume. Juvederm comes in a variety of formulations to address signs of aging in the temples, jawline, cheeks, lips, forehead, and other regions that appear depleted due to the aging process.
Dermal fillers are among the most popular tools in any aesthetic provider’s arsenal, thanks to their quick treatment time and lack of downtime or discomfort. Treatment benefits that our Atlanta dermal filler patients enjoy include:
Because fillers like Restylane and Juvederm are made with biocompatible hyaluronic acid, a compound found naturally in the human body, there is little to no risk of experiencing an allergic reaction, making dermal fillers among the safest and most popular cosmetic treatments currently available. While almost everyone is a candidate for dermal fillers, it is important to consult with a trained healthcare professional before undergoing cosmetic injections.
Patients should be healthy, non-smoking individuals who are realistic about what they hope to achieve with their procedures. Dr. Familusi and her caring team at Élevé Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery in Sandy Springs, GA, will conduct a thorough consultation and skin analysis to ensure that dermal fillers will be the best treatment choice for achieving your aesthetic goals.
Let’s Get Started
The first step in undergoing treatment with dermal fillers is to schedule your private consultation and skin analysis with Dr. Familusi and her knowledgeable team in Atlanta, GA. After understanding your goals for improvement, the doctor will create your customized injection plan. Guidelines for the week before your treatment include:
Dermal filler sessions take just minutes to complete, allowing patients to come in over their lunch breaks and then immediately resume their normal activities. The skin is first cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic to ensure your comfort and peace of mind. Injections are then administered strategically according to your individual plan curated during the consultation process.
There is no recovery or downtime to contend with after dermal filler injections. However, minor swelling, redness, or tenderness may occur at the treatment sites. These side effects fade quickly, however – usually within a few hours or by the next day. Symptoms are not usually severe enough to prevent patients from immediately resuming their normal schedules.
Ice can be applied to the skin to ease any lingering discomfort. Patients are also welcome to take Tylenol. Be careful to avoid drinking alcohol for 24 hours after your treatment. Also stay away from hot tubs, saunas, and overexposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays after dermal fillers. Postpone strenuous exercise for one day.
Transparent Pricing
Dermal fillers in Atlanta, GA usually cost around $500-700 per treated area. Each patient will require a different number of filler units based on their unique concerns and skin profile. Results with fillers can last 6-24 months, however, making injectables more cost-effective than many at-home skincare solutions. Our team will discuss dermal filler pricing with you in more detail during your private Sandy Springs consultation.
