Restore youthful volume, smooth lines, and enhance your natural features with expert dermal filler treatments at LaterzaMD Aesthetic Center. Our physician lead team uses advanced injection techniques to deliver subtle, balanced results that fit your unique facial anatomy and goals.
The Science Behind Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a collection of hyaluronic acid (HA) based gels designed to address signs of aging and enhance facial features. HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps maintain hydration and volume. As we age, HA production diminishes, leading to fine lines, folds, and volume loss. Modern filler technologies provide smooth integration, natural movement, and long lasting results.
Aesthetic Concerns Treated with Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are versatile and can be used to address a wide range of aesthetic concerns:
- Lip Augmentation: Enhance lip volume, shape, and definition – from subtle refinement to fuller results.
- Smiles Lines and Folds: Soften nasolabial folds and marionette lines for a smoother, more youthful appearance
- Cheek Augmentation: Restore midface volume to reduce a hollow or sunken look and provide a gentle lift.
- Temple Rejuvenation: Restore volume loss in the temples for a smoother contour and more youthful balance.
- Chin and Jawline Contouring: Add structure for a more defined, balanced profile
- Facial Harmony: Improve balance and symmetry across multiple facial features for a refreshed, cohesive look.

What to Expect from Treatment
Consultation
A thorough consultation with your aesthetic expert at LaterzaMD Aesthetic Center is the first step in your dermal filler journey. During this session, your aesthetic concerns and goals will be discussed, and your facial anatomy will be assessed. This helps in developing a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
The Procedure
The dermal filler injection process is relatively quick, often taking between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. The filler is administered using a fine needle or cannula to ensure precision and minimize discomfort. All dermal filler products used at LaterzaMD Aesthetic Center contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to enhance comfort during the procedure. You might feel a slight pinch or pressure, but the treatment is generally well-tolerated. When appropriate, ultrasound guidance is used in high risk areas to enhance safety and accuracy.
Results
One of the most appealing aspects of HA fillers is that the results are immediate. You’ll notice an instant improvement in the treated areas, with full results becoming more apparent as any initial swelling subsides over the next few days. The longevity of filler results varies depending on the specific product used and the treatment area but typically lasts between 9 months to 2 years.
Aftercare Advice
To ensure optimal results and minimize the risk of side effects, follow these aftercare tips:
1. Avoid Touching the Area: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the filler from shifting.
2. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain the hydration levels in your skin, supporting the effects of the hyaluronic acid.
3. Avoid Strenuous Activities: For the first 24 to 48 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or activities that increase blood flow to your face, as this can exacerbate swelling and bruising.
4. Protect Your Skin: Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and extreme heat (such as saunas and hot tubs) for at least a week post-treatment. UV exposure can break down the filler more quickly and may lead to complications.
5. Be Gentle with Your Skin: Use gentle skincare products and avoid aggressive exfoliation or facial treatments that might irritate the skin.
6. Monitor Your Results: Keep an eye on the treated areas and follow up with your practitioner if you have any concerns or experience unusual side effects.
