Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers for Beautiful, Natural Results
Dermal fillers are a highly customizable aesthetic treatment designed to enhance facial balance, restore volume, and soften the appearance of fine lines while preserving natural expression. At Carrington Medical, our experienced providers use advanced injection techniques and premium dermal fillers to create beautiful, natural results tailored to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Whether enhancing lips, contouring cheeks, or restoring youthful definition, each treatment is carefully planned to achieve subtle refinement—never an overdone look.
We proudly offer a large selection of FDA-approved cosmetic fillers including JUVÉDERM®, RADIESSE®, RHA Collection®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®.
Not all dermal fillers are the same. They differ significantly in composition (like Hyaluronic Acid vs. Collagen-Stimulators), texture (thin for lips vs. thick for structure), longevity, treatment goals (hydration, volume, lift), meaning our team must choose the right type for specific areas like cheeks, lips, or under eyes for natural, effective results.
We would be happy to guide you through your choices. Having used all available products, we can recommend the best option for your desired results.
How Dermal Fillers Create Beautiful, Natural Results
Dermal fillers enhance the face by restoring volume, supporting facial structure, and refining contours in a way that complements your natural features. Different types of fillers are designed to work in different ways—some provide immediate hydration and volume, while others stimulate the body’s natural collagen production for gradual, long-term improvement. By selecting the appropriate filler and placing it with precision, providers can achieve balanced, harmonious results that enhance your appearance without changing how you look. Understanding how each type of filler works is essential to creating outcomes that appear refreshed, youthful, and natural.
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
What they are:
Hyaluronic acid fillers are among the most commonly used dermal fillers in aesthetic medicine. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the skin that helps retain moisture, support elasticity, and maintain volume. When used as a dermal filler, HA attracts water to the treated area, creating smoothness, hydration, and immediate volume.
HA fillers are ideal for enhancing lips, softening smile lines, defining the jawline, and restoring subtle volume to areas such as the cheeks and under-eyes. One of the key benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers is their flexibility—they move naturally with facial expressions, making them well-suited for patients seeking soft, natural-looking enhancement. Results are visible immediately and can be adjusted over time as your aesthetic goals evolve.
How they work:
When injected, HA fillers:
Immediately add volume beneath the skin
Attract and retain moisture, improving hydration and skin texture
Provide instant, natural-looking results
HA fillers physically fill and support the tissue, which softens wrinkles and enhances contours right away.
Common HA filler brands include: Juvederm®, Restylane®, and RHA® Collection.
Collagen-Stimulating Fillers
What they are:
Collagen-stimulating fillers work differently than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers. Instead of providing immediate volume, these fillers encourage the body to gradually rebuild its own collagen—the structural protein responsible for skin firmness and support. As collagen production increases, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more youthful in appearance over time.
These fillers are commonly used to address age-related volume loss in areas like the cheeks, temples, and lower face. Because results develop gradually, collagen-stimulating fillers are ideal for patients seeking subtle, long-lasting improvement with a very natural progression. These treatments are often chosen for overall facial rejuvenation rather than spot correction.
How they work:
Instead of simply adding volume, collagen-stimulating fillers:
Act as a scaffold under the skin
Trigger the body’s natural collagen-building response
Gradually improve skin firmness, structure, and elasticity
Results appear more slowly but become longer-lasting as your own collagen develops.
Common collagen filler brands include: Sculptra® and Radiesse®.
Dermal Fillers pair beautifully with
- Botox enhances the smooth appearance achieved with fillers and can even help the fillers last longer by reducing movement in the treated area.
- Relaxes the muscle around the upper lip for a subtle lift that fillers alone can’t achieve.
- Dermal fillers add “push” support for volume while PDO threads offer “pull” support to provide structural lift for jowls, sagging cheeks, or a lax neck line.
