Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid gels that are injected in various levels of the skin to replace, restore or augment areas of the face or body.
Restore balance, softness, and natural-looking volume.
Facial volume changes gradually over time, affecting the cheeks, lips, under-eye area, and lower face. Dermal fillers can restore subtle fullness, soften deeper lines, and improve facial balance without changing the features that make you look like yourself. Dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid gels that are injected in various levels of the skin to replace, restore or augment areas of the face or body. For the most part, they are similar to the hyaluronic acids that we use on top of the skin, except they are created to be used inside and blend seamlessly into the skin and structure.
At Steele Dermatology, Dr. Johnson approaches filler treatments with precision and restraint. Every treatment begins with a careful evaluation of your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. The objective is not simply to add volume, but to create refined, natural-looking improvement that supports facial harmony and confidence.

Improvement is generally visible immediately, although temporary swelling may initially affect the appearance of the treated area. Results become easier to evaluate as swelling subsides over the following days.
Different fillers vary in texture, flexibility, and intended use. Dr. Johnson will evaluate the treatment area and recommend a product based on your facial anatomy, skin quality, and desired outcome.
Yes. Fillers and neurotoxins address different aspects of facial aging and are often used together. Neurotoxins soften lines caused by muscle movement, while fillers restore volume or support facial contours.
Some hyaluronic acid fillers may be dissolved when medically appropriate. Dr. Johnson can explain whether a specific product is reversible during your consultation.
