What are Soft Tissue Fillers?

Soft tissue fillers are substances that can be injected into the skin to enhance its overall appearance.

• Most often, these fillers are used to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, fill depressions and folds, reduce the appearance of scars, volumize lips, and repair various other imperfections.

• The materials used for fillers include human and porcine collagen, one’s own fat, synthetic substrates and hyaluronic acid.

• There is little recovery time, minimal pain, and treatments are cost-effective.

At the Knight Dermatology Institute, we commonly use fillers, alone or in combination, to achieve the desired result:

• As the skin naturally ages, collagen, elastin, bone and fat begin to decrease. This is most common in the areas around the mouth, eyes, cheeks, jaw, brows, nose, and forehead.

• Crows feet, frown lines, laugh lines, and furrows begin to form. Soft tissue fillers help our patients return to a fuller, more youthful look.

Dermal Soft Tissue Filler Procedure

• Prior to the injection, the skin is cleaned and either a topical or local anesthetic is applied.

• Using a very small needle, the filler is injected directly into the area to be treated. The injections may need to be repeated to achieve specific results.

What can I expect after Soft Tissue Filler Treatment

After the soft issue filler treatment has been preformed, redness, swelling, and minor bruising may be present at the injection sites. This is temporary and resolves quickly. Makeup can be applied immediately following treatment.

The final result from soft tissue fillers is generally long lasting. Most people require maintenance treatments six months to two years after the initial treatment; occasionally interval touch-up injections may be needed sooner.
