What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and support the underlying skin structure. As part of a carefully planned approach, dermal fillers in NYC help correct age-related volume loss, soften folds, and refine proportions while preserving a patient’s natural facial expressions.

How do dermal fillers work?

Depending on the filler selected, they work by either directly replacing lost volume in the skin or stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. Once injected, they integrate with your tissue to improve contours, firmness, and balance, offering either immediate enhancements or gradual, long-term improvements.

Will my results look natural?

Yes. Dr. Geronemus prioritizes preserving facial harmony and maintaining subtle enhancements. He places fillers strategically to support facial structure and restore balance rather than to add unnecessary volume. This helps avoid an overfilled or artificial appearance when using dermal fillers in NYC.

How long do results last?

Results vary based on the filler type, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Most hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers last between 6 and 18 months, while biostimulators can provide longer-lasting improvements with proper maintenance.

Is filler treatment painful?

No, filler injections should not be painful. Dr. Geronemus uses refined injection techniques and often incorporates numbing agents to ensure a controlled and comfortable treatment experience.

No, there is no downtime. Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur at injection sites but usually resolve within a few days, allowing most patients to return quickly to their normal activities.

When will I see results?

Many fillers provide visible improvements immediately after treatment. Final results continue to refine over the following days to weeks as swelling subsides and the filler fully integrates into the surrounding tissue.

Can fillers be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Dr. G often combines dermal fillers in NYC with neuromodulators , laser treatments, or collagen-stimulating treatments to address multiple concerns within a comprehensive treatment plan customized to each individual.

How do I maintain my results?

You can maintain your results with periodic follow-up treatments and a personalized skincare plan. Consistent maintenance helps preserve your volume, contour, and facial balance over time.
