You notice the changes gradually, a little less fullness in your cheeks, deeper folds around your mouth, lips that have thinned over the years.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are injectable gels made from a biocompatible form of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in human skin. These dermal fillers restore lost facial volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Results appear immediately and typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the treatment area and product selected.
My Aesthetic Doctor uses hyaluronic acid fillers to address volume loss in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, and jawline. Dr. Fakhre selects the specific filler viscosity, from thin, spreadable gels for fine lines to dense, structural formulations for cheek augmentation, based on your facial anatomy.
This precision approach is what separates Physician led filler treatment from assembly line injecting. The filler product matters, but placement and dosing determine whether results look natural or overdone.
Volume loss in the malar and submalar regions creates a hollow, tired appearance. Dr. Fakhre places hyaluronic acid filler along the cheekbone and mid-face to rebuild structural support.
Restored cheek volume lifts the lower face indirectly. This volumization reduces the depth of nasolabial folds without injecting the folds themselves.
My Aesthetic Doctor approaches lip filler with restraint. Dr. Fakhre augments lip volume by placing small, precise deposits of hyaluronic acid along the vermilion border and body of the lip.
The goal is proportional fullness, lips that complement your facial features rather than dominate them.
Deep creases from nose to mouth and from mouth to chin respond well to hyaluronic acid fillers. Dr. Fakhre softens these folds while preserving natural facial movement.
Hyaluronic acid fillers with higher viscosity, such as Juvederm Volux or similar structural products, can define and sharpen the jawline. My Aesthetic Doctor uses this technique to restore a youthful jaw angle lost to age-related bone resorption.
You see the difference before you leave the chair. Hyaluronic acid fillers provide instant volume correction, with final results settling over two weeks as any mild swelling resolves.
Unlike permanent fillers or surgical implants, hyaluronic acid can be dissolved with hyaluronidase enzyme. My Aesthetic Doctor values this safety margin, if any adjustment is needed, the filler is fully reversible.
Dr. Fakhre's injection technique prioritizes structural support over surface filling. By placing product at the periosteal and deep dermal layers, My Aesthetic Doctor achieves volume that moves naturally with your facial expressions.
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Mild swelling or bruising at injection sites typically resolves within 48 to 72 hours.
Dr. Fakhre evaluates your bone structure, fat pad distribution, and skin elasticity. She identifies which areas have lost volume and maps an injection plan specific to your anatomy.
Based on the treatment plan, Dr. Fakhre selects the appropriate hyaluronic acid filler. Thinner formulations suit fine lines and lips. Denser products provide structural lift in cheeks and jawline.
Using cannulas or fine needles depending on the area, Dr. Fakhre places the filler at the correct tissue depth. She injects in small increments, checking symmetry and volume at each stage.
Dr. Fakhre reviews the results with you immediately after injection. She provides aftercare instructions, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, skip alcohol for the first evening, and sleep elevated the first night.
My Aesthetic Doctor schedules a follow up to assess settling and determine if any touch-up is needed.
Results typically last 6 to 18 months depending on the treatment area and the specific product used. Lip fillers tend to metabolize faster, around 6 to 9 months. Cheek fillers often last 12 to 18 months. My Aesthetic Doctor recommends maintenance appointments to sustain results.
Most hyaluronic acid fillers contain built in lidocaine that numbs the treatment area during injection. Dr. Fakhre also applies topical numbing cream before the procedure. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure rather than sharp pain.
Botox relaxes muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and forehead lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers add volume to areas where tissue has thinned or deflated. My Aesthetic Doctor often combines both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an injection of hyaluronidase. This enzyme breaks down the filler within 24 to 48 hours. Dr. Fakhre keeps hyaluronidase available at the Larchmont office for any patient who needs an adjustment.
Pricing varies by the number of syringes needed and the specific product selected. Dr. Fakhre discusses pricing during your consultation after evaluating your goals and treatment plan. Schedule a consultation for a personalized quote.
