Dermal Fillers NYC

What Are Dermal Fillers and How Does Hyaluronic Acid Help?

As we age, our skin gradually loses volume due to a decrease in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the key components that give youthful skin its firmness, plumpness, and healthy glow. When these naturally occurring substances decline, the skin’s support structure weakens, leading to wrinkles, hollow cheeks, and loss of facial definition in both men and women.

Common signs of aging include thinning lips, under-eye bags, dark circles, and reduced volume in the cheeks, jawline, and temples. Dermal fillers—especially those made with hyaluronic acid—are a safe, effective, non-surgical way to restore volume and smooth the appearance of lines and hollows. When strategically injected, fillers offer overall facial rejuvenation with no downtime, allowing you to resume your day immediately after treatment.

Types of Facial Fillers: Understanding Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

There are several types of dermal fillers available today, each designed for specific treatment areas and concerns. Most popular among them are hyaluronic acid fillers, which are FDA-approved, well-studied, and known for their safety and effectiveness.

Restylane: A Trusted Alternative to Juvéderm Fillers

Restylane is one of the top dermal filler alternatives to Juvéderm, offering a slightly different hyaluronic acid formula with equally effective, natural-looking results. Each product in the Restylane family is designed to target specific areas of the face—and even the hands—for non-surgical rejuvenation.

Restylane Products:

• Restylane Original: A versatile filler used to smooth moderate facial wrinkles and folds.
• Restylane Silk: Designed specifically for the lip area, this filler softens vertical lip lines and enhances lip volume with precision.
• Restylane Lyft: Adds volume to the cheeks, smooths deep facial folds, and is one of the few FDA-approved fillers to treat wrinkles on the hands.

Restylane results typically last between 8 to 12 months, depending on the product used, the area treated, and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler. In high-movement areas like the mouth, the filler may absorb more quickly.

Skinvive by Allergan: FDA-Approved Hydrating Filler for Radiant Skin

Looking for a way to boost skin hydration and achieve a smoother, dewy glow? Skinvive is the newest hyaluronic acid filler from Allergan, approved by the FDA in May 2023. Unlike traditional fillers that add volume, Skinvive is designed to hydrate and smooth the skin from within. It can be injected across the entire face to enhance skin quality and radiance—and results can last up to six months.

Dr. Debra Jaliman also uses Skinvive on other areas, such as the chest, often combining it with laser treatments for even more rejuvenating results.

Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Lips, Volume, and Facial Folds

Interested in achieving a more youthful, refreshed appearance—without surgery? Hyaluronic acid facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are a popular and effective treatment for facial rejuvenation. At her renowned Fifth Avenue office in NYC, Dr. Debra Jaliman offers expertly placed injections to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance natural features.

Patients searching for “dermal fillers NYC” often choose Dr. Jaliman for her precision, experience, and natural-looking results.

Key Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers:

1. Smooth Fine Lines and Wrinkles

   As we age, we lose collagen and volume, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging. Hyaluronic acid fillers restore volume under the skin, visibly smoothing and lifting areas like the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and around the mouth.

2. Immediate Results

   Unlike other anti-aging treatments that take weeks to show improvement, facial fillers deliver instant results. You’ll walk out of the office looking more refreshed and youthful.

3. Enhanced Lip Volume and Definition

   Fillers are also ideal for lip enhancement, providing fuller, more defined lips while maintaining a natural appearance.

4. Minimal Downtime

   The procedure is quick—often under 30 minutes—and requires little to no recovery time.

5. Long-Lasting Effects

   Depending on the area treated and the filler used, results can last from 6 months to over a year.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Procedure

Thinking about dermal fillers but not sure what the procedure involves? Here’s what you can expect when you visit Dr. Debra Jaliman for wrinkle filler treatment in her Upper East Side NYC office.

Dermal filler injections are a quick, noninvasive cosmetic treatment—typically completed in under 30 minutes. There’s no need for anesthesia or downtime, and most patients return to their normal activities the same day.

What happens during the procedure?

• Dr. Jaliman will evaluate your facial structure and aesthetic goals.
• The filler is precisely injected into targeted areas such as the cheeks, lips, or smile lines.
• To maximize comfort, we use a Zimmer chiller, a cooling device that numbs the skin with cold air during the injection process.
• In many cases, a topical numbing cream or a filler that contains lidocaine is also used to reduce discomfort.

What are the results and recovery like?

You’ll see immediate results after treatment—your skin will appear smoother, fuller, and more youthful right away.

Some swelling or mild bruising may occur at the injection sites, but this is temporary and typically resolves within a few days.

With Dr. Jaliman’s expert technique and comfort-enhancing measures, results are natural-looking and downtime is minimal.

A Safe, Non-Surgical Way to Rejuvenate Your Skin

While cosmetic surgery options like facelifts, brow lifts, blepharoplasty, or rhinoplasty can deliver dramatic results, they often require significant downtime and carry surgical risks.

Many patients today want a more subtle, natural-looking improvement without the long recovery. That’s why noninvasive cosmetic treatments—like dermal fillers, Botox, Xeomin, and laser treatments—have become so popular.

At her Fifth Avenue dermatology practice, Dr. Debra Jaliman helps patients achieve beautiful, refreshed results using injectables that restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours—without anyone knowing they’ve had anything done.
