Turn Back the Clock: Volume Restoration Without Surgery
Dermal fillers provide immediate restoration of lost facial volume–a hallmark sign of aging that occurs as we naturally lose collagen, elastin, and facial fat over time. These FDA-approved injectable treatments use hyaluronic acid and other specialized formulations to replace lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
According to clinical studies, most patients experience a 75-90% improvement in treated areas immediately after injection, with results that can last from 6-18 months depending on the specific filler used and the area treated.
How Filler Injections Address Facial Aging
Modern dermal fillers address multiple aspects of facial aging and enhancement:
Cheek Augmentation
Restores lost mid-face volume to lift sagging tissue and recreate youthful facial contours.
Nasolabial Fold Smoothing
Softens the deep lines that run from nose to mouth for a refreshed, less tired appearance.
Lip Enhancement
Adds natural-looking volume and definition to thin or aging lips while respecting facial proportions.
Under-Eye Rejuvenation
Addresses hollows beneath the eyes that create shadows and a tired appearance.
Jawline Definition
Creates more defined contours along the lower face for improved facial balance and profile.

Your Luxury Filler Experience: Comfort Meets Results
Face-to-Face Analysis: Your Custom Treatment Blueprint
Your treatment begins with a detailed facial analysis and discussion of your aesthetic goals. Dr. Zitelli will evaluate your facial proportions, skin quality, and areas of volume loss to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your unique concerns.
Painless Precision: Comfort-Focused Injections
Dr. Zitelli prioritizes your comfort during treatment. Most fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to minimize discomfort during injection. Additional numbing options are available for sensitive areas. Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable, with only minor pressure or pinching sensations.
Instant Gratification: Filler Results You Can See Immediately
One of the significant advantages of dermal fillers is the immediate improvement with minimal recovery time. You’ll see results immediately after treatment, though the final outcome will develop over the following days as any initial swelling subsides and the filler integrates with your tissues.
Complete Facial Harmony: Strategic Treatment Combinations
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, facial fillers work exceptionally well in combination with:
- Neurotoxin treatments (Botox®/Dysport®) for dynamic wrinkles
- Skin resurfacing procedures for texture and tone
- Microneedling for overall skin quality improvement
- Medical-grade skincare for ongoing maintenance
Dr. Zitelli can develop a customized combination treatment plan addressing all aspects of facial aging for harmonious, natural-looking results.
