Dermal Fillers in Los Angeles

Dermal fillers are suitable for adults who want to address volume loss, enhance facial features, or smooth deep lines and wrinkles. A consultation with our provider will determine if fillers are the right choice for your aesthetic goals.

We use premium hyaluronic acid fillers from trusted manufacturers. Different formulations are specially designed for specific areas and purposes, from subtle lip enhancement to deep volume restoration.

While there's minimal downtime, you may experience some swelling and bruising for 3-7 days. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.

To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and certain supplements for 1 week before treatment. Come to your appointment with clean skin and avoid wearing makeup in the treatment area.

We use numerous techniques to ensure your comfort, including topical numbing cream and fillers containing lidocaine. Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment.

Common side effects include temporary swelling, bruising, and tenderness at injection sites. These typically resolve within a week. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by qualified practitioners.

For the first 24-48 hours, avoid excessive heat, strenuous exercise, alcohol, and pressure on the treated areas. We recommend sleeping with your head elevated the first night.
