Using soft tissue fillers for facial rejuvenation and aging

Soft tissue fillers, commonly called dermal fillers, are cosmetic injectables available at many dermatological practices in Washington, DC, and Annapolis, Maryland. Dr. Cheryl Burgess of the Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery is a Board-Certified professional who can assist patients in enhancing their skin with injections such as dermal fillers and neuromodulators. These can be used together to create the ultimate “liquid facelift” and can provide results for several months.

Which soft tissue filler injectable is right for me?

Each injectable dermal filler brand has its pros and cons, and Dr. Cheryl Burgess can work with patients to determine the most appropriate one for their specific concerns. Some are better for filling fine lines, while others are better suited for moderate to severe folds of the face. Some may be best for adding volume to larger areas, such as the cheeks, as they can provide added volume to the treatment area and help stimulate collagen production for long-term results. Most are made with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which is naturally occurring in the skin and assists in attracting water directly to the injection point.

What can I expect from my dermal filler appointment?

Injections are done by our Board-Certified dermatologist, allowing patients to feel at ease with their treatment. Our team works closely with patients to show them where the injections will be made and what to expect immediately after their treatment. These gel-like injections fill deep lines, wrinkles, and folds to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin in a single visit, with results lasting several months before reinjection may be required to maintain the results.

Aftercare instructions are minor, and patients are only urged to take care of their skin with a proper skin care regimen to enjoy the long-term results of these injectables.
