Dermal Filler
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost facial volume, soften visible lines and enhance facial contours without surgery. They can be used to create subtle definition, improve facial balance and refresh areas that have changed due to aging,weight loss or natural anatomy. Many commonly used dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found within the skin that helps retain moisture and support softness and volume. Different filler products have different textures and properties, allowing your provider to select the most appropriate option for each treatment area. At Manor Salt Lake City, every dermal-filler treatment begins with a detailed consultation. Your provider will assess your facial structure, discuss your concerns and
develop a personalized plan designed to enhance your features while maintaining a balanced, natural-looking result.
The benefits
RESTORES LOST VOLUME
Dermal fillers can replenish volume in areas that have become flatter or more hollow with age, helping create a refreshed and supported appearance.
ENHANCES FACIAL CONTOURS
Strategically placed filler can add definition to areas such as the cheeks, chin and jawline while improving overall facial balance.
SOFTENS LINES AND FOLDS
Fillers can reduce the appearance of selected facial lines and folds by supporting the skin and restoring volume beneath the treated area.
NATURAL-LOOKING ENHANCEMENT
Each treatment is planned around your individual anatomy and goals, allowing for subtle refinement rather than an overfilled or artificial appearance.
MINIMAL DOWNTIME
Dermal-filler appointments are generally completed without surgery or an extended recovery period, although temporary swelling or bruising may occur.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Dermal-filler treatments are highly personalized. The best product, placement and amount will depend on your facial anatomy, previous treatments and desired result.
What Are Dermal Fillers Made From?
Many commonly used fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present within the skin. Other filler types may contain different materials and work in different ways. Your provider will explain the specific product recommended for your treatment.
Will Dermal Fillers Make Me Look Overdone?
The result depends on product selection, placement, quantity and injector technique. Manor’s approach focuses on balanced, natural looking enhancement based on your individual facial proportions.
Are Dermal-Filler Results Immediate?
An improvement in volume or contour is often visible immediately. However, temporary swelling may initially make the result appear fuller or less even. The final outcome should be assessed after the area has settled.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Depending on the product and treatment area, results may last from approximately six months to two years or longer. Lip filler often wears down sooner because the lips are highly mobile.
Does Dermal-Filler Treatment Hurt?
Most patients experience brief pressure, pinching or tenderness during injections. Many fillers contain a local anesthetic, and topical numbing may also be used to improve comfort.
How Much Downtime Should I Expect?
Most patients return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. However, swelling, redness, tenderness and bruising can occur. Schedule treatment well in advance of an important event in case visible swelling or bruising develops.
When Will Swelling Go Down?
Swelling varies by patient and treatment area. Initial swelling often improves during the first several days, although lip filler and some larger treatments may take longer to fully settle.
Can Dermal Fillers Be Removed?
Many hyaluronic-acid fillers can be dissolved using hyaluronidase. Other filler types cannot be dissolved in the same way. Your provider must first determine which product is present and whether dissolving is clinically appropriate.
How Often Should I Have Filler?
Maintenance should be based on how much product remains, how your facial anatomy has changed and whether further treatment would be beneficial. You should not automatically receive more filler simply because a set number of months has passed.
Can I Receive Fillers While Pregnant or Breastfeeding?
Cosmetic dermal-filler treatment is generally postponed during pregnancy. Treatment may also be deferred while breastfeeding because safety information is limited. Discuss your individual circumstances with your provider.
Who Should Not Receive Dermal Fillers?
Fillers may not be suitable if you have an active skin infection, rash or cold sore near the treatment area, certain allergies, particular medical conditions or other relevant risk factors. Your provider will review your health history before treatment.
What Should I Do If I Have a History of Cold Sores?
Tell your provider before receiving lip or perioral filler. Injectable treatment around the
mouth can trigger a recurrence, and your provider may recommend an antiviral treatment plan where appropriate.
Should I Avoid Dental Work Around My Appointment?
Dental procedures may temporarily increase bacteria within the bloodstream and can also place pressure on recently treated facial areas. Your injector may recommend spacing dental work and filler treatment apart based on your medical history and treatment area.
What Are the Risks of Dermal Fillers?
Possible effects include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, asymmetry, lumps, infection and an unwanted cosmetic result. Rare but serious complications can occur if filler enters or compresses a blood vessel. Seek urgent medical assessment if you experience severe or increasing pain, skin blanching, unusual discoloration, a cool treatment area or any change in vision after treatment.
Can Dermal Fillers Be Combined With Other Treatments?
Yes. Fillers may form part of a treatment plan that also includes Botox, skincare, laser treatments, microneedling or other aesthetic services. Your provider will recommend the safest sequence and spacing between treatments.
