Dermal Fillers In Chicago

Dermal fillers (facial fillers) are small treatments that get big results. No matter what your problem area is, there is a dermal filler available that can take care of it. At Beautify at AMS in Chicago, dermal fillers are used every day and our experienced aestheticians have extensive knowledge and familiarity with them.

A World of Dermal Fillers

There is a wide range of facial fillers available. Each filler has different qualities and goals, and it’s very important to only work with specialists who understand these nuanced differences in order to achieve the most natural, beautiful results possible.

What Can Dermal Fillers Do?

Soften facial lines, wrinkles, folds, and creases
Add youthful volume to hollow areas
Lift sagging skin
Sculpt and define the chin, cheek area, jawline, etc.
Achieve a non-surgical nose job
Plump and contour thin or dull lips
Restore volume to the backs of the hands
Increase collagen in the skin

Quick, Convenient, and Effective

Although facial fillers are well-known for reducing the appearance of wrinkles, they can do so much more beyond that. When used correctly by a knowledgeable specialist, fillers have the ability to sculpt the face.

They can provide higher cheekbones; give more definition to a loose jawline; hide a bump on the nasal bridge, and give you the lips of your dreams. Dermal fillers can truly achieve a dramatic result with very little downtime, and much less expense than surgery.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Fillers

(Restylane®, Juvéderm®, and Belotero®)

These fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar in the body that attracts and binds water. HA helps keep the skin plump, hydrated, and healthy.

Poly-L-Lactic Acid Dermal Fillers

(Sculptra®)

Poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) dermal fillers are known more commonly as “collagen stimulators” they trigger the body’s natural collagen growth process in addition to smoothing lines and wrinkles. PLLA fillers are also different than other fillers because the onset is gradual instead of immediate, taking a few months to become visible.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite Dermal Fillers

(Radiesse®)

Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a substance that’s naturally found in our bones. CaHa fillers tend to last longer than HA fillers, and are excellent for adding volume to hollow/sunken areas of the face and kickstarting new collagen production.

Polymethyl Methacrylate

Dermal Fillers

(Bellafill®)

Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is a synthetic, biocompatible substance. When used in a facial filler, PMMA is administered as microspheres that are suspended inside of a collagen gel. When this collagen gel is gradually absorbed by the body, it will be replaced by your own naturally produced collagen, with those microspheres working as an inside structure to provide the skin with a lift that can last up to five years.

Dermal Filler Treatments

At our medical spa in Chicago, facial filler appointments begin with cleansing the skin and administering a topical anesthetic as needed. One of our highly trained, experienced aestheticians will administer the injections skillfully and expertly using a fine needle. One of the best things about facial fillers is how quick and convenient treatments are. While every patient’s treatment will be different based on his or her specific needs, in general dermal filler appointments are so fast that you can have them done during your lunch break.

Downtime and Results

Facial fillers are considered to be a no-downtime treatment; however, you may experience mild bruising, redness, itching, and/or swelling at the injection sites which will subside within 1-3 days. Different facial fillers have different onset times, so when you will be able to see results will vary depending on what product was used. During your consultation, a specialist will go over your cosmetic concerns to determine the right filler for you. Once this is determined, we will be able to tell you how quickly you can expect to see results—and how long they will last.
