What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel typically consists of hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in our body, is formulated specifically to be used safely to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They can also address other concerns like acne scars or facial asymmetry. Whether you’re looking to plump your lips, soften smile lines, or improve the appearance of scars, fillers provide a versatile solution with minimal downtime. At Nashville Dermatology Physicians, our board-certified dermatologists, Dr. Jeffrey Berti personalizes each treatment to ensure results that look and feel natural.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers offer a range of benefits:

-Youthful Appearance: Fillers smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and deep folds, such as nasolabial lines, to restore a refreshed, youthful look.

-Volume Restoration: As we age, we lose facial volume. Fillers like Juvederm and Restylane replenish volume in temples, sides of face and jaw for a fuller, healthier appearance.

-Scar Improvement: For patients with acne scars or other skin depressions, fillers can smooth uneven textures, providing a more even complexion.

-Enhanced Confidence: Looking good often translates to feeling great. Fillers can boost self-esteem by addressing aesthetic concerns or visible scars that affect your confidence.

-Non-Surgical and Quick: Most treatments take 15-30 minutes with little to no downtime, making fillers a convenient procedure with amazing results, taking the clock back years, it is you, but younger looking.

- Customizable Results: Whether you want subtle enhancements or dramatic changes, fillers can be tailored to your unique goals.

Types of Dermal Fillers

At Nashville Dermatology Physicians, Dr. Berti uses only FDA-approved fillers to ensure safety and efficacy. Here are the main types we offer:

- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers (Restylane and Juvederm): These fillers use a naturally occurring substance, hyaluronic acid, n the skin to add volume and hydration. These products come in varying consistencies some have a smooth consistency, ideal for lips and fine lines, while others provides structure for cheeks and deeper folds. Results last 6-18 months, and although these HA fillers can be reversed with hyaluronidase if needed, it is best to get it correct by being accurate and adding the filler carefully so one looks as if their looks are improving gradually, so friends and family will wonder what it is you are doing, is it a new face cream or just amazing make up. It looks like you, but you younger and more vibrant!

-Poly-L-Lactic Acid (Sculptra): Sculptra stimulates your body’s collagen production, gradually improving volume and skin texture. It’s perfect for deeper wrinkles and acne scars, with results lasting over two years. Unlike HA fillers, Sculptra cannot be dissolved, so precision is critical and the experience matters.

Each filler is chosen based on your specific needs, whether for cosmetic enhancement or medical correction like scar filling. Our dermatologists assess your skin and goals to recommend the best option.

While dermal fillers are generally safe, it’s important to understand the complete picture:

- Temporary Side Effects: Bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site are common but typically resolve within a week. It is best to avoid aspirin or advil a week before a procedure to minimize this risk.

-Rare Complications: Improper injection can lead to lumps, asymmetry, or, in rare cases, vascular occlusion, which may cause tissue damage. This underscores the importance of an experienced physician performing these injections.

-Cost: Fillers can be expensive, and since they’re not permanent, maintenance treatments are needed to sustain results. Financing options such as Care Credit are available at our practice to help avoid the expensive interest charges of traditional credit cards.

At Nashville Dermatology Physicians, we prioritize safety with thorough consultations to minimize risks and ensure you’re a good candidate for fillers.
