Dermal fillers are non-invasive injectable treatments used to rejuvenate the facial skin. These popular non-surgical treatment options can add natural-looking volume to the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and give the facial skin a more youthful and radiant appearance.
Many dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid – a substance naturally occurring in the human body – and can be injected to smooth wrinkles, lines, and folds, increase cheek and lip volume, or resolve other facial issues.

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
Beauty isn’t only skin deep, but having healthy, radiant skin can help you feel more confident and youthful.
As we age, wrinkles and lines can appear around the mouth, eyes, and cheeks. For some people, these visible signs of aging can rob them of confidence, causing self-consciousness when appearing in photos, video, or social spaces. Many treatments claim to help, but not always with lasting results.
Although cosmetic surgery – such as a facelift – reduces wrinkles and tightens skin, some people are not comfortable undergoing invasive surgery. Dermal fillers can benefit these patients who still want to enhance their appearance but without the need for a surgical intervention and associated downtime.
More Youthful Appearance
While the face can unintentionally show your age, dermal filler facial rejuvenation techniques can be utilized to soften wrinkles and hollows and restore a brighter, more vibrant complexion. Dermal fillers can restore volume, minimize wrinkles, and reinvigorate thinning lips. In some cases, injectables may also be used to increase the prominence of the cheeks and lips.
Fast Results with No Downtime
Since injectable facial rejuvenation requires no surgery, there is no significant pain or recovery period. Many injectables can provide dramatic results lasting up to 24 months. Since there is no surgery, there are no anesthesia risks, and the likelihood of infection is extremely low.
Safety/Reversibility
Most of the dermal fillers used in our office are hyaluronic acids. One benefit of this type of filler is that, in the event a patient is not sure about the filler placement, it is completely reversible with a medication called hyaluronidase, which can dissolve the filler almost immediately.
Dermal Fillers for Wrinkle Treatment
Restylane®, JUVÉDERM®, and other dermal fillers in Philadelphia administered by Dr. Pontell or Dr. Weng can restore volume and fullness to the face and lips while hiding wrinkles. Injections in the nasolabial folds, around the eyes, or in the cheeks can reduce deep furrows and restore vitality to the face.
These dermal fillers are made of synthetic hyaluronic acid, identical to the hyaluronic acid that occurs naturally in the body. Water molecules bind to the hyaluronic acid molecules to prolong the effects of the treatment for longer-lasting results. Over time, fewer injections may be needed to maintain the effect. Dermal fillers have been used in over four million treatments in 70 countries. Injections at our Wayne, PA, office – serving the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and South Jersey areas – can help patients smooth wrinkles and improve the overall aesthetics of the face.
Dermal Fillers for Lip Augmentation
Restylane®, Restylane Kysse®, and JUVÉDERM® are a few of the injectables that have proven effective and safe for lasting lip augmentation. Our doctor can inject Restylane® or JUVÉDERM® fillers into the lips to give you full, pouty lips with results that will last for several months.
Dermal Fillers for Cheek and Jawline Volume Replacement
Voluma and Restylane® Lyft are hyaluronic acid fillers meant for deeper volume replacement in the cheeks and along the jawline. A fuller cheek is more youthful than a flatter cheek, which happens with aging.
The jawline will appear tightened and lifted by filling in the pre-jowl sulcus (the area in front of the jowl). These dermal fillers can make dramatic improvements in rejuvenating the face with minimal downtime.
Is There a Recovery Process After Dermal Filler Injections?
A dermal filler procedure involves minimal recovery, which means there is generally no need for pain medications, time off work, or a disturbance of other routine activities. However, it is common to experience some mild redness as well as black and blue or swelling at the injection site following the procedure, which generally will resolve quickly. Bruising can be minimized by avoiding aspirin, Motrin, Alleve, and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for 12 days before the procedure.
One of the leading causes of recurring signs of aging after a skin rejuvenation procedure is exposure to sunlight. Following injectable treatment, it is important to wear sunblock, sunglasses, and wide-brimmed hats when going outside. Reducing sun exposure can help prolong the results of your treatment.
Are There Noticeable Scars After Dermal Fillers and Cosmetic Injectables?
A benefit of injectable skin rejuvenation is that it is non-surgical, which means it doesn’t require incisions and typically does not result in scars. Since dermal fillers are done entirely through injectable methods, you enjoy the benefits of a more youthful appearance without any of the downtime that surgical options require.
Are Dermal Fillers Painful?
The pain associated with injectable options is inconsequential compared to surgical facial rejuvenation methods. The peak of the pain is when the treatment is injected into the skin, but most patients have little to no reaction to the pain level. A numbing ointment is used for injectable treatment.
Combining Procedures
Dermal fillers are often combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall facial rejuvenation and achieve more balanced results. Neuromodulators such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, XEOMIN®, or Dysport® can frequently be used alongside fillers to relax dynamic wrinkles while fillers help restore lost volume. Many patients also choose to combine fillers with treatments like laser skin resurfacing to improve skin tone and texture.
In some cases, fillers may complement procedures such as eyelid surgery, facelifts, or brow lifts by addressing volume loss that surgery alone may not correct. Our providers can recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your concerns so you can enjoy effective, comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?
The cost of dermal fillers at our Philadelphia-area practice typically begins at approximately $650 per syringe for Restylane® or JUVÉDERM®; $800 per syringe for Restylane® Lift; $900 for the first syringe of JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA, and $800 for the second syringe when using that same product. With that in mind, pricing for dermal filler treatments can vary depending on several factors. The type of filler used, the number of syringes needed to achieve the desired results, and the specific areas being treated will all be taken into account. The experience and qualifications of the injector can also affect the overall cost. Some patients may only need a small amount of filler for subtle enhancement, while others may require more product for more noticeable rejuvenation.
