Refresh Your Facial Appearance with Dermal Fillers
Would you like to rejuvenate your face for a youthful appearance? Dermal fillers in Chicago, Illinois, are an affordable and safe treatment for replenishing your skin. If you are unhappy with your wrinkles and sagging skin, schedule a personalized consultation with A Brush Above Family Dentistry. Dr. Marcella Guzman uses Juvederm dermal fillers to revitalize your appearance.
What are dermal fillers?
Aging signs like wrinkles result from volume loss, and dermal fillers plump your lips and facial skin to restore this lost volume. Our dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic acid (HA), naturally produced in the body. Found mainly in the skin, connective tissue, and eyes, HA retains moisture and maintains elasticity, giving the skin a plump, hydrated, and youthful appearance. When used in dermal fillers, HA restores lost volume, smooths fine lines, and enhances facial contours while providing a natural look.
What can I expect from the treatment?
Your treatment starts with a consultation to determine your eligibility for dermal fillers. If so, the doctor identifies the treatment areas and injects the product with a fine needle after numbing them with a topical cream. The treatment is painless and only takes 20-30 minutes to complete. After treatment, you’ll experience mild side effects like bruising, tenderness, and swelling at the treatment sites. Typically, these side effects aren’t a cause for concern and resolve within 1-2 days.
When are the results visible?
With dermal fillers, most people notice results almost immediately after treatment. Right after the procedure, the targeted area usually appears fuller, though there might be some initial swelling or redness. Once any minor swelling subsides, you’ll be able to see the full effect of the filler. The final, more settled appearance becomes visible within a week or two when the filler fully integrates with the skin. We’ll schedule a follow-up visit to ensure you are happy with your results.
These results can last 6-12 months, depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism. As such, you’ll need touch-up sessions to maintain your results.

What areas can be treated?
We can use dermal fillers to reduce fine lines, create fuller lips, and reshape facial contours. The doctor can use dermal fillers to revitalize your appearance in several areas. Some include:
- Lips
- Jawlines and chins
- Cheeks
- Around the nose and mouth area
- Under the eyes
- Temples
Although dermal fillers can treat several areas, they should not apply to or near regions with active infection, inflammation, or skin disease. We also don’t administer dermal fillers to pregnant or breastfeeding women or individuals with immune-suppressing conditions.
