Dermal Fillers in Houston, TX
Dermal fillers provide volume to the face, softening wrinkles and improving facial lines. The inherent volume of youthful skin begins to shrink over time. Shadows appear in areas of volume loss, such as the eyes, cheeks, chin, and temples. Lip volume loss is connected with the cupid’s bow flattening. This causes vertical wrinkles and decreased volume and wrinkling of the red region of the lip.
What Exactly Are Dermal Fillers?
NUVO Cosmedispa injects dermal fillers, which are gel-like chemicals, into your skin to fill up facial wrinkles and creases. This will fill where the natural fullness has been lost. These materials resemble molecules found in your own body, such as hyaluronic acid (HA).
What Conditions May Dermal Fillers Treat?
While neuromodulators such as Botox® reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those caused by repeated muscle movements), dermal fillers primarily address static wrinkles, and volume loss causes static wrinkles.
These creases often appear in places with more tissue, such as the cheeks and jowls. You should think about dermal fillers if you have:
- Chin dimples
- Marionette Lines
- Thin lips
- Hollows around the eyes
- Hollowed temples
- Sunken cheeks
- The nasolabial folds
Fillers aren’t exclusively for those that are aging. NUVO Cosmedispa can also contour the midface and lower face with these gel-like compounds for better facial definition.

What Should I Anticipate From Dermal Fillers?
We will examine your areas of concern during your appointment and build a detailed treatment plan to address those concerns. The tailored treatment plan will include the best filler combination to get a natural-looking outcome.
For better visuals, you should take a before picture, so you can see your results afterward. We will discuss with you what your expectations are regarding getting fillers and determine what the best course of action will be.
Our technicians will start by injecting the dermal fillers into the regions you discussed during your initial session. Sometimes we will have to massage the area to get the filler to settle in as we would like it.
The entire procedure takes only 30-60 minutes, and the results are immediate. These results will improve over the next 30 days. You should be able to tell the difference almost immediately.
The technique is quick and easy, and the results are almost instantaneous. All of the fillers we employ contain lidocaine. Lidocaine is a topical anesthetic that makes the treatment more comfortable. We put a topical numbing ointment on the lips to make the procedure as painless as possible during lip augmentation.
Consultation for Dermal Fillers
When scheduling your visit, inquire if any drugs or supplements you take should be temporarily discontinued prior to dermal filler injections.
You should take your time to discuss your medication list with the technician to ensure there aren’t any special instructions. Things such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc.), St John’s Wort, and high-dose Vitamin E should be avoided because they can cause an increase in bleeding and bruising at injection sites.
Dermal Fillers for Lips
Dermal fillers are used to improve the appearance of lips by adding volume and fullness. They are injected into the lips similarly to how Botox is used, and the results typically last for around six months. Dermal fillers can be used to correct lip shape, add definition to the lip line, and make the lips look fuller and more plump.
The type of dermal filler that is used will depend on the individual’s needs and preferences. Some dermal fillers are designed to provide a subtle enhancement, while others are more dramatic. Dermal fillers can also be used to correct specific problems such as asymmetry or unevenness in the lip shape.
Dermal Filler Under Eyes
Dermal filler under the eyes is a popular treatment to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. By injecting a dermal filler such as Restylane or Juvederm under the eyes, doctors can help give patients a more youthful look.
One of the benefits of dermal filler under the eyes is that it can last up to twelve months. This means that patients can enjoy the youthful look for a longer period of time. Additionally, dermal filler is a safe and minimally invasive treatment, so patients can feel confident that they are making a wise choice.
If you are considering dermal filler treatment for under-eye bags or dark circles, it is important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner. At NUVO Cosmedispa you can find certified and expert injectors who can give your proper advice and guidance.
Recovery of Dermal Fillers
Patients frequently resume work or regular activities shortly following dermal filler injections. Strenuous workouts can be resumed the next day. Stop using certain medications and supplements that enhance the bruising effect. Some of these include aspirin, garlic, ibuprofen, and so on, well in advance of your treatment date.
The most common dermal filler adverse effects include slight redness, bruising, and swelling at the injection site. These side effects usually go away in two to three days.
How Long Are Dermal Fillers Effective?
Every filler is unique, but most last for around a year before gradually fading away. Many factors affect how long a filler lasts. If you realize your filler is losing its effectiveness, you can return to NUVO Cosmedispa for maintenance treatments.
