Injectable Dermal Fillers in Phoenix, AZ
Aging, gravity, sun damage, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices result in the breakdown of collagen and fat. This contributes to the development of facial lines, wrinkles, and folds, and it often makes individuals appear much older than they actually are. Injectable dermal fillers offer a non-surgical treatment for Dr. Boll’s Tempe, Arizona, patients that can erase fine lines, restore lost volume, and increase collagen production in the skin. These treatments are ideal for individuals with good skin elasticity who are hoping to restore a younger-looking facial contour.
What Can Injectable Dermal Fillers Achieve?
Reduced Wrinkles
Collagen provides skin and tissues with their strength and structure. Sadly, collagen levels reduce with age, and this reduction contributes to fine lines, wrinkles, and folds. Dermal fillers restore smoothness and firmness to the skin by filling these lines and indentations in the skin.
Enhanced Lip Definition
Thin lips may be hereditary or develop as a sign of aging. Many individuals experience dissatisfaction with the appearance of their thin lips. Dermal fillers improve lip definition, fullness, and shape. These injectable treatments are customizable for subtle or dramatic enhancement.
Restored Facial Volume
A youthful face is characterized by full, plump skin. Unfortunately, the loss of collagen also contributes to the loss of facial volume, especially around the cheeks. When injected deep into the tissue, dermal fillers restore lost volume to lift sagging cheeks, enhance the cheekbones, and fill recessed facial contours.

Concerns
Injectable Process and Recovery
Dermal fillers are injected in-office by Dr. Boll. These injections take under an hour and are ideal for patients on a lunch break or on the way home from work.
There is no downtime associated with treatment; patients can return to work and their normal activities immediately following the injections, but all strenuous activity should be avoided for 24 hours. Some patients experience mild bruising and swelling around the injection site that can be covered with makeup.
Results from your dermal filler or injectable treatment will appear within a few days.
Scars
Dermal fillers are administered through a non-surgical injectable treatment; therefore, there will be no post-treatment scarring. You may experience some temporary bruising, redness, and tenderness, but these will not result in any scars.
Cost
Injectable treatments are measured by units of the product, and the price of your treatment will depend on the number of units required. You will be given an accurate price estimate during your consultation that will factor in the type of filler, units used, and any combination of fillers or additional cosmetic treatments.
Pain
Since injectable dermal fillers are non-invasive, there is no need for general anesthesia or sedation. A topical numbing cream is applied to improve patient comfort, and many patients experience no pain during this procedure. Ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication will relieve any post-treatment discomfort and reduce any bruising and swelling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a candidate for injectable dermal fillers?
Candidates for dermal fillers are healthy individuals looking to reduce the signs of aging without having to undergo invasive surgery. Since there are so many dermal fillers available, patients can find what they are looking for to address their unique concerns. Ideal candidates for dermal fillers generally have good skin elasticity but are concerned about visible lines, wrinkles, and volume loss.
Can these injectable fillers be an alternative to surgery?
Dermal fillers are a great way to reduce or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles or add volume to hollowed regions of the face. These treatments effectively target the signs of facial aging; however, as they do not address sagging skin, fillers are not always an ideal alternative to surgery. Patients who suffer from loose or lax skin will likely be directed toward a surgical procedure to reach their desired results.
What is hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that plays an essential role in the production of collagen. Hyaluronic acid fillers are made from a derivative of this substance and work in much of the same way. These injectables fill in wrinkles and plump up hollow areas while stimulating the production of collagen. Hyaluronic acid fillers come with little risk of allergic reaction or irritation. While these fillers can be used in multiple areas, they work best when treating the lower two-thirds of the face.
How often can these injections be repeated?
While the longevity of dermal fillers varies depending on the type of filler used, they typically last between six months and two years. Dermal fillers can be repeated as often as necessary to maintain results. Occasionally, their longevity will increase after a series of injections.
