Filler Alternatives
This is the go-to treatment when your goal is to preserve your natural features and age gracefully.
Restore volume naturally.
Not every patient wants hyaluronic acid fillers, and not every concern is best treated with them. Today, there are several advanced treatments that restore lost volume, improve skin quality, and create a naturally refreshed appearance by stimulating your body’s own collagen or using your own tissue.
At Steele Dermatology, Dr. Johnson, a board-certified dermatologist, takes a personalized approach to facial rejuvenation. During your consultation, she will evaluate your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to recommend the treatment — or combination of treatments —t hat will provide the most balanced, natural-looking results.

Results vary by treatment. Thread lifts typically last around one to two years, while collagen-stimulating treatments can provide improvement that lasts two years or longer. Fat transfer may provide even longer-lasting volume retention, though some fat is naturally reabsorbed.
