Make Wrinkles Disappear
Injectable dermal fillers are an excellent choice for achieving natural, youthful facial rejuvenation with minimal interruption to your daily life.

If you're considering a dermal filler injection, schedule a consultation to discuss how wrinkle fillers, cheek fillers, and lip injections can enhance your natural beauty and restore confidence in your appearance.
What Are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Injectable dermal fillers are FDA-approved cosmetic treatments designed to restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours in a noninvasive manner. As the skin ages, it naturally loses collagen, elasticity, and subcutaneous fat, leading to a less full and youthful appearance. Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based gels, help combat these signs of aging by adding volume to specific areas, including under the eyes, the cheeks, and the lips. This treatment involves using a soft, gel-like substance to address areas that have experienced volume loss or developed wrinkles, providing a smoother, more revitalized look. Products like JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® are among the most popular injectable fillers used to deliver long-lasting and natural-looking enhancements. Schedule a consultation with the team at Cosmedica Dermatology in Washington, D.C. to learn more about your injectable dermal filler treatment options.
How Do Injectable Dermal Fillers Work?
Formulated with substances like hyaluronic acid gel, fillers such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, are popular because they effectively attract water molecules, providing a hydrated, plump appearance. These fillers are injected directly into targeted areas, such as under the eyes, cheeks, or lips, to address fine lines, deep wrinkles, or hollow areas.
Injectable dermal fillers come in various thicknesses and textures, each with unique properties tailored for specific areas such as the lips, cheeks, jawline, and under-eye hollows. This customizable approach allows for natural-looking, long-lasting results with minimal downtime—making dermal fillers a top choice in modern aesthetic treatments.
At Cosmedica Dermatology, we will determine the ideal type of dermal filler for you, depending on your aesthetic goals and specific treatment areas.
