Dermal Fillers
in West Palm Beach, FL
At Elysian Aesthetic and Wellness, dermal fillers are used to restore facial volume, smooth creases, and bring balance to features that have changed over time. These injectable gels are placed beneath the skin to lift and support areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, and under eyes. Every plan begins with a close look at your facial structure and your personal goals. The aim is a refreshed appearance that still looks like you.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. Hyaluronic acid binds water, which allows the gel to add volume and hydration where it is placed. Fillers are injected into targeted layers of tissue to replace lost fullness, support structure, and soften folds. Because they work by adding volume rather than relaxing muscles, they address a different set of concerns than neurotoxins.
Before & Afters
How Facial Volume Changes With Age
As we age, the body produces less collagen and hyaluronic acid, and facial fat pads gradually shift and thin. This leads to hollow cheeks, deepening smile lines, thinner lips, and a less defined jawline. Fillers are selected based on their thickness and flexibility so each area receives a product suited to its anatomy. Softer gels are often used for delicate zones like the lips, while firmer formulas provide lift along the cheekbones and chin.
Planning Your Filler Treatment
Your treatment starts with a conversation about the changes you notice and the look you hope to achieve. Your provider evaluates facial proportions, skin quality, and areas of volume loss to recommend the right products and placement. You will also review your health history so the plan fits your needs. Coming in with a clear sense of your goals helps shape a result you will feel good about.
What Happens During Your Appointment
- Facial Mapping and Marking
Your provider begins by studying your face at rest and in motion to identify the precise injection points. Key areas may be lightly marked to guide placement. This mapping step helps keep results symmetrical and proportionate to your natural features.
- Cleansing and Comfort Measures
The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to prepare the skin. A topical numbing cream may be applied, and many fillers also contain lidocaine to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure.
- Precise Filler Placement
Using a fine needle or a flexible cannula, your provider places small amounts of filler into the targeted layers of tissue. Product is added gradually so the shape can be assessed along the way. This measured approach allows for adjustments in real time.
- Sculpting and Final Review
After injection, the area is gently massaged to smooth and contour the gel. You will look in a mirror with your provider to review the outcome together. Most appointments are completed in under an hour, and you can return to your day afterward.
Schedule Your Consultation
Aftercare and Recovery
- The First Day After Injections
Plan to keep your hands off the treated areas for the rest of the day so the filler can settle in place. Mild swelling, tenderness, or small bruises at injection points are common and usually fade within several days. Applying a cool compress wrapped in a soft cloth can help ease any puffiness.
- Activity and Exercise Guidelines
Strenuous workouts, saunas, and hot yoga are usually paused for about 24 to 48 hours. Avoiding intense heat and heavy exertion gives the product time to integrate with your tissue. Light walking is generally fine.
- Skincare and Sun Protection
Wait until the day after treatment to apply makeup or active skincare products to the injected areas. Daily sunscreen helps protect your skin and supports the longevity of your results. Staying well hydrated also helps hyaluronic acid fillers look their fullest.
- Follow Up Visit
A follow up visit about two weeks after treatment allows your provider to evaluate how the filler has settled. This is the right time to discuss whether any small refinements would enhance balance. It also sets the stage for planning future maintenance.
When You Will See Results
Improvement in volume and contour is visible immediately after your appointment, although early swelling can make areas look slightly fuller at first. Over the next one to two weeks, the filler fully integrates and your final result becomes clear. From there, the gel is gradually broken down by the body over many months, so results fade slowly rather than disappearing all at once.
Who Is a Good Candidate?

Adults in good overall health who are concerned about volume loss, folds, or thinning lips
-
Individuals who are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
-
People with realistic expectations about what an injectable can achieve

Those without an active skin infection or irritation in the planned treatment area
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Fillers deliver visible improvement in a single visit with little interruption to your schedule. They can lift cheeks, define the jawline, add shape to the lips, and soften nasolabial folds without incisions. Hyaluronic acid formulas also attract moisture, giving skin a smoother and more hydrated appearance. Because treatments can be adjusted over time, results can evolve with your face as it changes.

Common Questions About Fillers
How long do dermal fillers last?
Most hyaluronic acid fillers last from about six months to two years. Longevity depends on the product, the area treated, and how quickly your body metabolizes the gel. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, usually need maintenance sooner, while cheek and jawline results often last longer.
What is the difference between fillers and neurotoxins?
Fillers add volume to restore fullness and smooth static folds. Neurotoxins relax specific muscles to soften lines caused by expression, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Many patients use both for complementary results.
Is the filler injection process uncomfortable?
Sensitivity varies by area. The lips tend to be more sensitive than the cheeks or jawline, while deeper structural injections are often barely noticeable. Any tenderness afterward is usually mild and short lived.
Will my results look natural?
Natural looking results come from careful planning and conservative placement. Your provider adds product gradually and reviews your appearance throughout the appointment. The goal is to restore what time has changed rather than create an overfilled look.
Can fillers be combined with other treatments?
Yes, fillers pair well with treatments such as Microneedling, Chemical Peels, and Neurotoxins. Combining approaches addresses volume, texture, and expression lines together. Your provider can recommend the right sequence and timing for your goals.
