What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin that attracts and holds water. They are designed to add volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial features instantly. Unlike biostimulators like Sculptra that work gradually, HA fillers provide immediate, noticeable results by physically filling in areas or providing structural support.

Common Dermal Filler Treatment Areas
| Treatment Area | What It Helps With |
|---|---|
| Lips | Adds volume, defines borders, corrects asymmetry, enhances shape |
| Cheeks | Restores youthful fullness, lifts mid-face, improves contour |
| Nasolabial Folds | Softens lines running from nose to mouth |
| Marionette Lines | Reduces lines extending from corners of mouth downwards |
| Chin & Jawline | Enhances definition, improves profile, corrects minor asymmetries |
| Under Eye (Tear Trough) | Reduces hollowness, dark circles, and tired appearance (carefully assessed) |
| Temples | Fills hollowing to create a more youthful upper face |
Specialized Techniques: Russian Lips
The Russian Lip technique is a specialized dermal filler application designed to create a doll-like, heart-shaped pout with a flatter, higher-arched Cupid's bow. Instead of adding overall volume and projection outwards, this method focuses on lifting and spreading the lip body vertically, creating a more defined and natural "cherry on top" appearance. It's ideal for those seeking a distinct, subtly dramatic, yet naturally elevated lip shape.
Correction & Safety: Filler Dissolving
While our goal is always perfection, we understand that sometimes adjustments are needed, or preferences change. We offer Filler Dissolving treatments using Hyaluronidase, an enzyme that safely and quickly breaks down hyaluronic acid fillers. This service is available for:
Correcting overfilled or uneven areas.
Resolving lumps, bumps, or asymmetry.
Addressing vascular occlusion (a rare but serious complication).
Reversing filler if a client changes their mind or is unhappy with the aesthetic outcome.
Filler dissolving is a safe and effective way to ensure you always feel confident and comfortable with your results.
What to Expect From Your Dermal Filler Treatment
Consultation: During your personalized consultation at our Ventura (Weds/Fri) or Thousand Oaks (Mon) clinic, Dana Duarte, NP, will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable filler and technique for you.
Preparation: The treatment area will be thoroughly cleaned, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort. Many fillers also contain lidocaine.
Injection: Using a fine needle or cannula, Dana Duarte, NP, will precisely inject the filler into the targeted areas. This process typically takes 15-45 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated.
Aftercare & Results: You’ll see immediate results! Some swelling, bruising, or redness is normal and usually subsides within a few days to a week. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to optimize your results.

Are looking for immediate, non-surgical aesthetic improvements.
Have previous filler and wish to refine or reverse it.
Fillers are not recommended for those who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain medical conditions. A thorough consultation will determine your suitability.
