How Dermal Fillers Can Restore Lost Volume to Your Face

Volume loss is a natural part of aging and can leave you feeling older than you are. Fat and collagen act as the supportive framework that keeps your skin smooth and firm, but as time goes on, that structure begins to break down. When this happens, wrinkles and sagging can start to appear.

At Refinement Medspa & Aesthetics in Plano, Texas, Makenzie McQuay, NP, and our expert team are here to help. We use dermal fillers to restore lost facial volume with a safe, minimally invasive approach that requires no downtime. Here’s what you need to know about fillers and how they can bring back a more youthful look.

Plump up your skin instantly with hyaluronic acid

Dermal fillers are volume-enhancing substances, many of which contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in your skin. HA moisturizes and plumps your skin, giving it youthful elasticity and resilience. As you age, hyaluronic acid levels in your body naturally decline.

HA-based fillers restore these levels instantly, smoothing out wrinkles, adding volume to hollow areas, and enhancing your natural contours.

Smooth out static wrinkles and refine your contours

Fillers primarily add volume to minimize static wrinkles, which are the lines and folds that remain visible even when your face is at rest. These wrinkles form due to the natural breakdown of collagen, elastin, and hydration over time.

By plumping up these areas, dermal fillers smooth out creases, soften lines, and create a more balanced, youthful appearance.

Our team may use dermal fillers to:

Plump up your cheeks
Restore volume to thinning lips
Improve the projection of the chin for individuals with a recessed or weak chin
Correct asymmetry and help balance facial features for a more attractive and natural look

With dermal fillers, you can target multiple areas of concern in one treatment session.

Benefits of dermal fillers for restoring volume

Why choose dermal fillers over alternatives, like surgical procedures? Here’s why:

Quick and convenient

Most dermal filler treatments take less than 60 minutes.

Slight discomfort

Along with the topical anesthetic creams we offer, most HA fillers are formulated with anesthetics like lidocaine to minimize pain.

Long-lasting but not permanent

Dermal fillers last anywhere from 6-18 months and gradually break down. Once fillers wear off, you can return for maintenance treatments or choose to be filler-free.
