Defining the Liquid Contour

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, most commonly made of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), that are injected beneath the skin to restore volume and smooth creases.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps keep skin plump and hydrated.

Kybella, while also an injectable, is a specialized deoxycholic acid treatment that permanently dissolves fat cells under the chin, sharpening the profile. Dr. Hart approaches every injectable treatment with technical precision and careful attention to your unique facial structure, ensuring harmonious, natural-looking results.

What Is the Dermal Filler Procedure Like?

At our Sandy Springs office, your filler session is designed to be a seamless, professional experience. Your skin is first thoroughly cleansed, and a medical-grade topical numbing agent is often applied to ensure your total comfort. Dr. Hart then uses specialized techniques, such as injections using a micro-cannula or an ultra-fine needle, to precisely place your chosen dermal filler or Kybella into the targeted tissue layers. The entire process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, and thanks to Dr. Hart’s meticulous technique, discomfort is minimal.

Restoring Harmony to the Mid-Face

What Conditions Do Dermal Fillers Address?

Fillers and Kybella offer versatile solutions for addressing volume depletion and contour concerns.

  • Mid-Face Hollows: Restoring fullness to the cheeks and temples for a more youthful lift.
  • Nasolabial Folds: Softening the “smile lines” that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Lip Enhancement: Adding subtle volume or defining the lip border for a natural, hydrated look.
  • Jawline & Chin: Sculpting a more defined jawline or projecting a recessed chin.
  • Submental Fat: Permanently reducing a “double chin” with targeted Kybella injections.

Dermal fillers are highly effective for replenishing volume and softening deep folds, while Kybella provides a non-surgical solution for profile contouring.

Facial Rejuvenation & Restoration

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers provide immediate enhancements that typically last for 6–18 months between touch-ups, making this treatment a convenient fit for busy schedules.

  • Instant Results: Unlike many other treatments, you will leave your session with visible improvement in your volume and contours.
  • Customizable Softness: Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if necessary, providing patients with safe, flexible options.
  • Non-Surgical Profile Contouring: Kybella offers a permanent solution for under-chin fat without the need for liposuction or anesthesia.
  • High-Touch Precision: Every treatment is tailored to your anatomy to ensure results that harmonize and enhance.

Personalized Rejuvenation

Is a Dermal Filler Right for Me?

Fillers and Kybella are ideal for adult patients who wish to address specific volume loss or contour concerns with minimal downtime. Patients should avoid these treatments if they have active skin infections or a history of severe allergies to the product ingredients.

Dr. Hart will evaluate your goals, concerns, and medical history to create a personalized treatment plan.

Nurturing Your Results

Dermal Filler Recovery

There is minimal downtime required, though Dr. Hart recommends a specific aftercare protocol to ensure optimal healing.

  • Initial Swelling: Expect some mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within a few days.
  • Activity Pause: Avoid strenuous exercise and intense heat for 24 to 48 hours following your session.
  • Hands Off: Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated areas unless specifically instructed by our team.

Structural Renewal

Dermal Filler Results

For fillers, you will notice an immediate change, though the final result will be fully realized once minor initial swelling settles after about 1 to 2 weeks.

Kybella results develop more gradually as the body processes the dissolved fat cells over 4 to 6 weeks.

Most hyaluronic fillers, such as Restylane and Juvéderm, last 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated. Results from Kybella are considered permanent, as the fat cells are physically broken down.
