As we age, the skin loses its vital compounds – collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid – that are responsible for suppleness, hydration and radiance. The result is not only wrinkles, lines and creases, but also volume loss that leads to sunken, hollow-looking contours. Dermal fillers in Newport Beach at Forever Ageless Inc. can help compensate for age-related changes in the face, as well as for sun damage, exposure to the elements and hereditary traits. Treatment can help to plump thinning lips, lift the cheeks and midface, and reverse crow’s feet and forehead furrows, all without downtime or discomfort.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a compound that binds to water molecules, giving youthful skin its resilience and luminous beauty. The HA in fillers looks and behaves just like real skin tissue, so it is ideal for filling in depressions and volumizing depleted contours. Dermal fillers are injected painlessly in quick sessions that can be undergone over your lunch break.
Dermal Filler Options
Belotero
Made with biocompatible hyaluronic acid, Belotero helps hydrate and fortify the skin’s structure producing a firmer, more youthful complexion. When injected into the dermis, Belotero can reduce smile and laugh lines and minimize folds that form in the midface. It can also be instrumental in reversing vertical lip lines.
Restylane
The Restylane family of products can help to restore a vital, radiant glow, replenishing your self-confidence. Restylane products are formulated with hyaluronic acid that helps to smooth away wrinkles and lines in the lips, cheeks, around the nose and mouth, and in the hands.
Juvéderm
Juvederm products can help maximize volume in the lips and cheeks while also reducing wrinkles, lines and folds. Engineered with a proprietary form of hyaluronic acid, Juvederm products help restore a supple, radiant glow. Many Juvederm treatments contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps to ensure injections are painless.
Radiesse
Made with poly-L-lactic acid that stimulates collagen growth in the skin, Radiesse is useful for reversing age-related folds, lines and creases as well as volume loss. Thanks to its ability to produce firmer, tighter contours, Radiesse is often a component of a non-surgical, or liquid, facelift.
Sculptra
Formulated with poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra works to stimulate collagen reserves, strengthening the skin from the inside out. The result is a reduction in overall facial aging, targeting flaws such as wrinkles, lines, creases and volume loss. Over time, treatment with Sculptra can help to provide a naturally youthful, attractive countenance.
RHA Collection
The RHA Collection is the first and only FDA-approved line of hyaluronic acid fillers designed to adapt to your facial movements for a more natural look, even in dynamic areas. Crafted with Swiss innovation, these fillers are formulated to maintain softness and flexibility, making them ideal for smoothing wrinkles, enhancing volume, and restoring youthful contours without looking stiff or overdone. Whether you're targeting fine lines, deep folds, or volume loss, the RHA Collection delivers long-lasting, dynamic results tailored to your natural expressions.
ezGEL
ezGel is a cutting-edge, regenerative filler that harnesses your body’s own platelets and proteins to stimulate collagen production and restore youthful volume—naturally. Unlike traditional dermal fillers, ezGel is entirely free of synthetic additives, making it a safe and biocompatible option for those seeking a more organic approach to skin rejuvenation. This advanced treatment helps improve skin texture, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours, delivering long-lasting, natural-looking results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your dermal filler session begins with a personalized consultation to discuss your goals and choose the best product for your needs. The treatment area is gently cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. Using a fine needle or cannula, your provider carefully injects the filler into targeted areas such as the lips, cheeks, or jawline to restore volume and smooth lines. Most treatments take between 30 and 60 minutes.
What Is Recovery Like?
Following treatment, you might experience mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or slight bruising around the injection sites. Most of these effects subside within a few days, and you can return to your regular routine immediately. You may apply ice as recommended and avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Results are noticeable right away and continue to improve as swelling decreases, revealing smoother contours and refreshed volume.
Patient Testimonial
“Dr. Joseph Cerni is hands down the most amazing doctor for filler. I first saw him in 2014 when I lived in California and was referred by a friend for under-eye filler. I visited him three times and was always thrilled with the results. I looked great immediately, had zero bruising, and appreciated how gentle he was. He uses a special technique and always chooses the right product for this delicate area. After relocating to Chicago, I learned just how talented Dr. Cerni truly is. I had multiple disappointing filler experiences and ended up needing to dissolve and redo treatments more than once. None of the providers I saw came close to his skill, precision, or knowledge. After a year of frustration, I started flying 2,000 miles back to California just to see him—and I’ll never let anyone else touch my face again. If you’re considering filler, do yourself a favor and book with Dr. Cerni. There’s no substitute for getting it right the first time.” - Den J.
FAQs
How long do fillers last??
Results typically last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the filler type, treatment area, and individual factors. Certain areas, like the lips, may require more frequent touch‑ups.
Are there side effects I should know about?
Common side effects include temporary bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection site. Serious complications are rare when treatment is performed by an experienced provider.
What is the difference between BOTOX and dermal fillers?
BOTOX temporarily relaxes muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (like crow’s feet and frown lines), while dermal fillers add volume and contour to soften static wrinkles and enhance facial features.
How soon will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after injection, though mild swelling may temporarily affect the final look. As swelling subsides over a few days, your final results will become more defined.
How often should I get filler touch-ups?
Most patients schedule maintenance every 6 to 12 months, depending on the filler type and area treated. We’ll help create a personalized schedule that fits your lifestyle and beauty goals.
Can men benefit from dermal fillers?
Absolutely. Dermal fillers can restore masculine definition in the jawline, reduce tired-looking under-eyes, and smooth deep lines—without feminizing the face.
