Dermal fillers are injectable medicines designed to give you a glowing and youthful appearance. With the ability to temporarily treat a wide range of cosmetic imperfections and telltale signs of aging, they are the ideal option for men and women of all ages who want to refresh their appearance but are not yet ready for an aggressive and permanent surgical procedure.

What Can Dermal Fillers Accomplish?

The signs of aging impact us all at some point – but you do not have to live with their effects forever. Among the best dermal fillers Bellevue has to offer provides a non-invasive, gentle, and extremely effective way to refresh and revitalize your facial appearance by:

  • Smoothing wrinkles around the lips.
  • Filling in nasolabial folds (lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth.)
  • Restoring facial volume that you’ve lost due to the natural aging process.
  • Sculpting defined and high cheekbones.
  • Improving the appearance of mild jowls.
  • Enhancing a recessive chin.
  • Treating deep facial folds.
  • Fill in and improve the appearance of certain scars.

Types of Dermal Fillers

Dr. Ridgway is proud to provide his patients with only the safest, most advanced, and most effective dermal fillers on the market. As he tailors all of his treatments for each patient, he will use a custom blend of the following dermal fillers to treat the specific signs of aging, cosmetic imperfections, and genetic imbalances that concern you most.

Voluma XC

One of the most popular dermal fillers Dr. Ridgway offers, Voluma XC, helps our patients achieve total facial rejuvenation. An extremely versatile filler, it treats the appearance of hollow cheekbones and addresses bags under the eyes as well as wrinkles around the mouth and nose. This lifting filler provides natural-looking volume to correct sagging jowls, enhance a recessive chin, and more.

Vobella XC

A non-toxic, non-allergenic, and biocompatible dermal filler, Vobella XC is designed to create fuller and more kissable lips. This remarkable product can also soften the appearance of moderate-to-severe wrinkles around the nose and mouth, including smile lines, chin wrinkles, mild jowls, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.

Juvederm XC

The cheeks lose their youthful volume with age, resulting in sagging skin and a weathered appearance. In the past, the only way to treat this telltale sign of aging was with our Seattle facelift – but today, there is Juvederm XC. This unique dermal filler will restore your lost volume for up to two years, achieving a natural-looking lift and sculpted contour.

Belotero

As we age, wrinkles around the lips and nasolabial folds become deeper and more noticeable, adding years to your appearance. Belotero is designed to evenly smooth and fill in these wrinkles to restore a more youthful overall look.

Sculptra

The loss of youthful facial fat and volume is one of the most prominent signs of aging, as it creates a hollow appearance. Fortunately, Sculptra treats deep facial folds, and restores lost volume for up to two years, giving you back your youthful and supple overall appearance.

What are dermal fillers used for?

Dermal fillers are used to restore volume, smooth fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial features such as the lips, cheeks, and jawline. They provide a non-surgical option for facial rejuvenation with natural-looking results.

How long do dermal fillers last?

The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used and the treatment area. Most fillers last between 6 months and 2 years. Dr. Ridgway will recommend the best product for your goals and desired longevity.

Do dermal filler injections hurt?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand, and many fillers contain lidocaine to enhance comfort during the injection process.

What’s the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?

Botox relaxes the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles (like frown lines), while dermal fillers add volume to treat static wrinkles and enhance facial contours. Dr. Ridgway may recommend using both for a more comprehensive result.

Is there any downtime after filler injections?

There’s little to no downtime. Some swelling or bruising may occur, but it usually resolves within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are dermal fillers safe?

Yes, when administered by a qualified provider like Dr. Ridgway. He uses only FDA-approved products and applies his extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to ensure safe, effective, and natural-looking results.
