Frequently asked questions about injectable dermal fillers
White Pearl Medical Spa is committed to helping men and women look and feel their best and do so in ways that are non-invasive. Without plastic surgery, patients with fine lines and wrinkles on the face have alternative options they can consider, such as injectable cosmetic dermal fillers for deep and superficial imperfections in the skin. Below are a few frequently asked questions about injectable dermal fillers we hear at our office in Des Plaines, Northwest Suburbs, IL.
What are dermal fillers?
Our board-certified physician at White Pearl Medical Spa describes dermal fillers as injectable substances that add necessary volume and fullness to specific areas of the face. These substances, also known as soft tissue fillers, can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging.
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers work by adding volume and plumpness to targeted areas of the face. The injected substance fills in wrinkles and folds, giving the skin a smoother appearance. It can also be used for enhancing specific facial features such as cheeks or lips for a more youthful look.
What are some common types of dermal fillers?
Various types of dermal fillers are available on the market today, each with its own unique properties and benefits. Some common types include hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm, Restylane), calcium hydroxylapatite fillers (Radiesse), and poly-L-lactic acid fillers (Sculptra). It is pertinent that you consult with a qualified medical professional to determine which type of filler would be best for your specific needs.

Are dermal fillers safe?
When treatments are administered by a trained and experienced medical professional, dermal fillers are generally considered safe and have minimal risks or side effects. It is important to disclose any relevant medical history or allergies during your consultation to ensure the safest treatment possible.
How long will I enjoy the results of cosmetic dermal filler injectables?
The longevity of the results achieved will vary depending on the variety of filler used and certain individual factors, such as metabolism and lifestyle habits. Typically, results from hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6-12 months, while calcium hydroxylapatite and poly-L-lactic acid fillers may last up to 18-24 months. Touch-up treatments may be recommended every few months to maintain optimal results.
Can dermal fillers be combined with other aesthetic procedures?
Absolutely! Our dermal filler injectables can often be combined with other non-invasive cosmetic procedures, such as Botox or laser skin rejuvenation, to achieve more comprehensive results.
