Patients struggling with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are encouraged to book an appointment at our office to talk to Dr. Michael Krathen and his team about the many benefits of injectable dermal fillers as one of the best facial wrinkles treatments available on the market today! Below are just some of the frequently asked questions about injectable dermal fillers heard by our team.
What exactly is a “dermal filler?”
Dr. Michael Krathen and his team at Essential Dermatology describe the dermal filler injection as a gel-like substance specifically injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften folds, or enhance facial contours. In simpler terms, dermal fillers are used for cosmetic purposes to plump up areas of the face (or other parts of the body) where there is a loss of volume due to aging, weight loss, or other factors.
Are dermal fillers considered safe treatments?
Yes, dermal fillers are considered safe and effective when administered properly by a trained and experienced medical professional like Dr. Michael Krathen of Essential Dermatology. However, as with any other type of medical procedure, there are some potential side effects that should be discussed thoroughly with your doctor before undergoing treatment.
What are some common types of dermal fillers?
Some of the more common types of dermal filler injections include hyaluronic acid (such as Juvederm or Restylane), calcium hydroxyapatite (Radiesse), poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) and polymethylmethacrylate (Bellafill). Each type has its own unique properties and is best suited for different areas of the face or body.

How long do the results of dermal filler injections last?
The longevity of dermal filler results can vary depending on factors such as an individual’s metabolism, the area treated, and the specific brand and type of filler used. On average, most of our dermal fillers last anywhere from six months to two years. However, with regular injections, patients can maintain the results over time to slow the gradual process of aging and maintain a more youthful look longer!
