We offer dermal fillers as a precise, non-surgical solution to rejuvenate your look. By embracing our signature “Beauty in Balance” approach, we combine scientific expertise with aesthetic artistry to provide subtle enhancements that appear natural. This elevates your beauty and boosts your confidence so you can look and feel your best.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that retains moisture and adds volume. As we age, our skin’s natural HA levels decrease, leading to the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and volume loss. By replenishing HA in targeted areas, dermal fillers effectively rejuvenate the skin, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, we use only the highest quality FDA-approved dermal fillers, ensuring safe and effective results tailored to your needs.

Dermal fillers are an excellent choice for individuals looking to address specific aesthetic concerns, whether due to natural aging or a desire to enhance certain features.

Even if you’re younger and want to refine or accentuate features like jawline, chin, or lips, dermal fillers offer a versatile solution.

You might feel self-conscious about your appearance, noticing that your once-youthful features have started to soften or that your facial contours are less defined.

At Fulcrum Aesthetics in Chicago, we prioritize your comfort and satisfaction throughout your treatment process from beginning to end. Here’s what you can expect when embarking on your journey with dermal fillers:

  • Initial Consultation: Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we discuss your aesthetic goals and assess your facial structure. This assessment allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
  • Pre-Treatment Preparation: Before your treatment, we’ll review your medical history and discuss any concerns you may have. Photos may be taken to document your baseline appearance, allowing you to track the improvements. A topical anesthetic will sometimes be applied to ensure your comfort during the procedure.

The procedure is meticulously performed to ensure natural-looking results and maintain the balance of your facial features.

Recovery & Results

After your dermal filler treatment, you may notice some immediate effects, such as mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. These are typical and should subside within a few hours to a few days. Applying a cold compress can be beneficial to manage these effects. You can return to your daily activities immediately. However, avoiding strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours is wise to ensure the best results and minimize potential side effects.

For a few days post-treatment, avoid irritating skincare products like retinoids or exfoliants on the treated areas. Avoiding these products helps prevent unnecessary irritation and supports proper healing. The results of your dermal fillers will be visible almost immediately, with the outcome becoming more apparent as any residual swelling decreases. Typically, full results are seen within one to two weeks, highlighting enhanced volume and refined contours.

While dermal fillers are not permanent, they provide long-lasting results with appropriate care. The duration of your results depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. Regular touch-ups help maintain your enhanced appearance over time. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, we are committed to ensuring your satisfaction with your treatment outcome. Our team can offer guidance and support if you have any concerns or questions during your recovery. Contact us to discuss any issues or schedule a follow-up appointment to review your results and plan for future treatments.

Which areas of the face can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are versatile and can effectively treat various areas of the face. Common treatment areas include the lips, where they enhance volume and shape for a fuller appearance; the cheeks, where they restore lost volume and add youthful contour; and the jawline, where they define and sculpt a more structured profile. Fillers are also used in the chin area to improve projection and balance with the rest of the face and under the eyes to reduce hollows and dark circles, providing a refreshed look. Additionally, fillers can soften nasolabial folds and the deep lines between the nose and mouth and add volume to the temples to address hollowed areas, contributing to a more balanced facial contour. At Fulcrum Aesthetics, our team will evaluate your needs to determine the most effective treatment areas to achieve your desired results.
