Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often made from hyaluronic acid, that restore volume, soften creases and refine facial contours. Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts water, so it adds fullness while keeping tissue supple. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles, fillers work by physically supporting areas that look sunken, flat or deeply lined, with results visible right after treatment.
Fillers are used in the lips, cheeks and midface, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, chin and jawline and under eye hollows. At our Merrick clinic, your provider assesses your facial structure, discusses which areas will make the biggest difference and selects products with the right firmness for each zone, building gradually toward balanced, natural looking results.

What to Expect
Your appointment starts with a facial assessment and consultation to agree on priority areas. A numbing agent may be applied, and many fillers include lidocaine for added comfort. Your provider then injects with precise techniques, pausing to check balance. The visit typically takes 30 to 45 minutes. Minor swelling or bruising may follow and usually resolves within a few days. Skip strenuous exercise for a day and attend follow up so we can assess the settled result.
