Dermal Fillers

Restore Volume Where It Has Been Lost

Dermal filler treatment tailored to your facial structure in El Paso, Texas.

You may notice that certain areas of your face, such as your cheeks, under-eye hollows, or the lines around your mouth, begin to lose volume as collagen production slows with age. Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid or similar substances that add fullness back to these areas, restoring contour and reducing the appearance of deep creases. Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center offers filler treatments designed to produce natural-looking results that match your facial structure.

Fillers differ from Botox because they add physical volume rather than relaxing muscle movement. They are commonly used in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, and under the eyes. The procedure typically takes thirty to forty-five minutes depending on the number of areas treated. Results are visible immediately and continue to settle over the next few days as any swelling subsides.

If you are in El Paso and want to understand how fillers could address volume loss or deep lines, Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center can walk you through what to expect.

How Fillers Are Placed and What Changes Afterward

Your provider will mark the areas where filler will be injected and may apply a topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort. In El Paso, many patients choose fillers to address sun-related volume loss or to restore definition in areas that have flattened over time. The filler is injected slowly using a fine needle or a blunt-tip cannula, depending on the area being treated.

After the filler is placed, you will see immediate fullness in the treated area. Cheeks appear lifted, under-eye hollows look less shadowed, and lines around the mouth soften. The filler integrates with your tissue over the next few days, and any minor swelling or bruising fades quickly. The result is a more rested and youthful appearance without looking overdone.

Most fillers last between six months and two years depending on the product used and the area treated. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, tend to break down filler faster than static areas like the cheeks. Your provider will recommend a follow-up schedule based on your goals and the specific filler used.

Choosing to try fillers for the first time often comes with questions about safety, longevity, and what the experience will actually feel like. These are the questions that come up regularly during consultations at Family Medical & Psychiatric Wellness Center.

We Know This May Be New for You

What are dermal fillers made of?
Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance your body produces naturally. It attracts water and provides volume and hydration to the skin. Because it is biocompatible, allergic reactions are rare.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Results typically last six months to two years depending on the filler type and where it is placed. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, may require touch-ups sooner than static areas like the cheeks.
What areas can be treated with fillers?
Fillers are commonly used in the cheeks, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, lips, chin, jawline, and under the eyes. Your provider will assess which areas will benefit most based on your concerns and facial anatomy.
What does the treatment feel like?
Most people describe a feeling of pressure or mild discomfort during injection. Many fillers contain lidocaine to reduce sensation, and numbing cream can be applied beforehand if needed.
Can fillers be reversed if I do not like the result?
Yes, hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This allows your provider to adjust or remove the filler if the result is not what you expected.
