What are fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that plump and smooth your skin. There are many different fillers to choose from, many of which are made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in your skin.

What conditions can fillers treat?

Fillers add volume to your skin, reducing signs of aging and filling in areas with lost volume. At JAM Wellness Clinics, the team uses fillers to: 

• Plump up your lips
• Reduce the presence of scars
• Enhance your contours
• Fill in and reduce wrinkles or creases
• Reduce the appearance of under-eye shadow

Your JAM Wellness Clinics provider can customize a treatment plan based on the areas that you want to have fillers. 

What is the process for getting fillers?

At JAM Wellness Clinics, the team administers fillers in a quick and easy office visit. First, your provider marks your injection site. Then, they use a small needle to inject the filler into your target facial muscles. 

It only takes a few minutes to complete the relatively painless injections. There aren’t any incisions required, and there’s minimal downtime following your treatment.

You might be a little sore around your injection site, and you might experience some slight bruising, but that typically fades within a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities right after.

What are the benefits of fillers?

You may find a number of benefits when choosing fillers at JAM Wellness Clinics, including:

• Boosting your body’s production of collagen 
• Adding plumpness to your skin
• Enhancing your natural beauty 
• Improved self-confidence

No matter how well you take care of your skin, changes will happen as you move through the phases of life. The aging process is a primary cause of visible signs of aging. As the years pass, you naturally lose much of that collagen and elastin. Without the same padding, your skin can begin to sag and pool into wrinkles or creases.

If you’re beginning to see signs of aging, you may consider fillers to restore a youthful appearance. 

How long do fillers last?

Fillers are temporary treatments. Over time, you’ll see your wrinkles slowly returning. However, research shows that fillers also prompt your body to create new collagen, so you may experience lasting results even after the filler has been fully absorbed and processed by your body.

Some people may experience effects that last months*, while others may experience effects that last years*, depending on the type of filler and the treatment area.
