What Dermal Fillers Do We Offer? 

JUVÉDERM®

JUVÉDERM is a type of dermal filler that is hyaluronic acid-based and can treat everything from wrinkles and folds to thinning lips. Its unique formulation provides a smooth consistency that mimics the natural feel of youthful skin, making it a preferred choice for natural-looking results.

• JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC is used for deep injection in the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss.
• JUVÉDERM ULTRA PLUS XC and JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® XC address different types of lines and folds such as nasolabial folds.
• JUVÉDERM ULTRA XC and JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® XC are designed for lip augmentation and the correction of perioral lines, offering subtle to dramatic enhancements depending on the patient’s goals.

The RHA® Collection

The RHA Collection offers the latest advancements in filler technology, designed to adapt to facial movements and provide a more natural look both at rest and in motion. This collection is made to mimic the natural hyaluronic acid found in the skin and offers some of the best flexibility of all the dermal fillers. 

• RHA 2 is ideal for moderate wrinkles and folds, offering subtle smoothing.
• RHA 3 provides a balance between flexibility and strength, perfect for deeper lines.
• RHA 4 is designed for volumizing and contouring deeper facial areas, such as the cheeks and jawline.
• RHA Redensity™ is perfect for the lip area, filling in vertical lip lines and adding soft volume. 

Radiesse®

Radiesse has the unique ability to act as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen. This offers immediate volume correction while promoting long-term skin rejuvenation. It is effective for enhancing the contours of the face, improving wrinkles and folds, and correcting volume loss in the back of the hands.

Revanesse® Versa™+

Revanesse® Versa™+ is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that has a uniquely spherical particle shape, designed to provide smooth, natural-looking results with less swelling. It is especially helpful for the lower half of the face, including smile lines, marionette lines, and the mental crease area.

Restylane®

This type of dermal filler excels at emulating natural skin substances, offering enhancement and volume across various facial areas using hyaluronic acid. Its broad applicability addresses everything from wrinkles to under-eye concerns, with a focus on achieving natural-looking enhancements.

• Restylane Lyft is tailored for enhancing cheek volume and addressing the loss of midface contour due to aging while also smoothing out lines and wrinkles.
• Restylane Silk is developed expressly for increasing lip fullness and reducing wrinkles near the mouth, offering a refined finish.
• Restylane Refyne, leveraging XpresHAn Technology™, targets lines on the lower face such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, delivering both flexibility and delicate reinforcement.
• Restylane Defyne is engineered to diminish pronounced smile lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines) and preserve the face’s natural expressiveness.
• Restylane Kysse is formulated to augment lip volume and hue, as well as to soften perioral lines, offering results for up to one year.

Bellafill®

Bellafill is a long-lasting dermal filler that combines collagen with tiny polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres to provide both immediate volume and long-term support. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Bellafill stimulates your body to produce its own collagen over time, making it ideal for deeper smile lines and acne scars. Its results can last up to five years for certain indications, making it one of the most durable options available for facial rejuvenation.

Combining Dermal Fillers With Other Treatments

While dermal fillers are powerful on their own, they often achieve their most transformative results when used as part of a comprehensive aesthetic plan. At South Jersey Aesthetics, we take a holistic approach to facial rejuvenation by strategically combining dermal fillers with other non-surgical treatments. This allows us to address not just volume loss, but also skin texture, tone, and expression-related wrinkles for a more balanced and youthful appearance.

Botox® or Dysport®

Dynamic wrinkles (such as crow’s feet, frown lines, or forehead creases) are caused by repeated muscle movement. Botox® and Dysport® work by gently relaxing these muscles to soften expression lines. When paired with dermal fillers, which restore lost volume and contour, the result is a smoother, more refreshed appearance that addresses both static and dynamic signs of aging.

Laser Resurfacing or Microneedling

While fillers target volume loss and facial structure, they do not improve skin texture or tone. Treatments like laser resurfacing or microneedling can be used alongside fillers to minimize fine lines, acne scars, pigmentation, and enlarged pores. Together, these treatments enhance both the surface and structure of the skin for a complete rejuvenation.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP therapy uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production, boost skin radiance, and improve elasticity. When combined with dermal fillers, PRP can support long-term skin quality, helping to maintain youthful firmness and glow even after the initial volume correction.

Whether you’re looking to address signs of aging from multiple angles or simply want the most natural, refreshed result possible, our team will customize a plan that layers the right treatments at the right time. We’ll guide you through safe, effective combination therapies tailored to your aesthetic goals and skin needs.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

We strive to make every dermal filler appointment smooth, informative, and comfortable, whether it’s your first visit or a routine touch-up. Here’s a step-by-step overview of what you can expect:

Personalized Consultation

Your appointment begins with a thorough consultation. During this time, we’ll take the opportunity to learn about your specific goals, whether that’s restoring cheek volume, softening laugh lines, or enhancing your lips. 

We’ll also review your medical history, current medications, and any past experience with injectables to ensure you’re a safe and suitable candidate for treatment. A facial analysis will help us determine the best filler type and injection sites based on your anatomy and aesthetic preferences.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

Once your treatment plan is finalized, we’ll prep the targeted areas. This includes cleansing your skin to remove any makeup, oil, or bacteria. A topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize any discomfort, and in some cases, ice or other soothing measures can be used. Most modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a gentle anesthetic that further improves comfort during the injection process.

Precise Injection Technique

We will then use either a fine-tipped needle or a blunt-tip cannula to inject the filler into the designated areas. Techniques such as linear threading or cross-hatching may be used, depending on the area being treated and the type of filler selected. Throughout the process, we’ll monitor facial balance, symmetry, and natural movement to ensure refined, flattering results. You may be asked to smile, relax, or move your face slightly to help guide placement.

Treatment Duration

The entire treatment typically lasts between 15 and 60 minutes. A single, small area, like the lips or under-eyes, can often be completed in under half an hour, while full-face contouring sessions may take closer to an hour.

Post-Treatment Wrap-Up

After your injections, we may gently massage the treated areas to ensure smooth filler distribution. You’ll be given a mirror to review the immediate results and ask any final questions. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided before you leave.

Aftercare and Recovery Tips for Dermal Fillers

Caring for your skin after dermal filler injections is essential for ensuring smooth, even results and minimizing potential side effects. While dermal fillers offer little to no downtime, there are still some important guidelines to follow to support optimal healing and maintain your outcome. Here’s what we recommend after your appointment:

Avoid Touching, Pressing, or Massaging the Treated Areas for 24 Hours

It’s natural to want to examine or feel the treated areas, but doing so too soon can displace the filler before it has settled into place. Avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the area for at least a few hours unless directed by your provider.

Refrain from Alcohol, High-Heat Environments, and Intense Physical Activity for 24–48 Hours

Alcohol can dilate blood vessels and increase the risk of bruising or swelling. Saunas, hot showers, and strenuous workouts may also elevate circulation and disrupt the filler’s placement or worsen inflammation. Give your body time to rest and heal for the best outcome.

Sleep With Your Head Elevated the First Night

Use an extra pillow or wedge to keep your head slightly raised while sleeping. This helps reduce post-treatment swelling and encourages the filler to stay evenly distributed. Avoid sleeping on your stomach or sides if possible, especially if you’ve had filler placed in the cheeks or jawline.

Avoid Facial Treatments or Aggressive Skincare for 7–10 Days

Postpone facials, chemical peels, laser treatments, or microneedling until your provider gives the go-ahead. Similarly, avoid retinoids, exfoliants, or active skincare ingredients that could irritate the treated areas.

Use Cold Compresses for Discomfort or Swelling

If you experience mild swelling or tenderness, apply a clean, cold compress in short intervals for the first 24 hours. Be careful not to apply direct pressure to the injection sites.

Stay Hydrated and Maintain a Healthy Skincare Routine

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers attract water, so staying well-hydrated can help maintain plumpness and skin health. Continue using gentle, nourishing skincare products to support a calm and hydrated complexion.

Risks and Potential Side Effects of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved and widely used for aesthetic enhancement, but like any medical treatment, they come with some potential risks and side effects. At South Jersey Aesthetics, patient safety is our highest priority, and we take every measure to minimize complications through careful technique, thorough consultation, and clinical expertise.

Common, temporary side effects may include:

• Mild swelling or redness at the injection site
• Tenderness or slight bruising
• Small lumps or firmness under the skin as the filler settles
• Minor itching or sensitivity in the treated area

These effects are usually short-lived, resolving on their own within a few days to a week. To reduce these risks, all injections at South Jersey Aesthetics are performed by trained professionals using sterile, single-use tools and advanced techniques such as microcannulas for enhanced safety and precision. Our team is also equipped to recognize and manage complications promptly, should they occur.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are suitable for individuals who want to enhance facial features, restore lost volume, or smooth out wrinkles without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates are generally in good physical health, have no active skin infections, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. 

Patients should have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of the results that dermal fillers can offer. For those primarily concerned with dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines or crow’s feet, Botox® may be a more appropriate option. During your consultation, we’ll help you determine the right solution based on your goals and facial anatomy.

How to Choose the Right Dermal Filler

Different fillers are formulated for different purposes. Some are soft and flexible, ideal for delicate areas like the lips, while others are thicker and more structured, making them suitable for lifting and contouring cheeks or jawlines.

• Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and RHA®, are best for adding volume and smoothing lines with results that can be reversed if needed.
• Biostimulatory fillers, like Radiesse®, stimulate collagen over time for longer-lasting firmness and structure, making them excellent for deeper folds or hand rejuvenation.

We will guide you through your options to select the most appropriate filler based on your facial anatomy, aesthetic goals, and treatment area.
