Dermal fillers are commonly used to smooth out deep wrinkles and restore volume to areas that may have lost fullness over time. They can be applied to hollowed regions like the cheeks, under-eye area, temples, and around the mouth—areas often affected by aging.
In addition to the natural aging process, sun damage can accelerate the formation of wrinkles, while genetics may contribute to looser skin in some individuals, making them more prone to facial sagging.
The three different types of dermal fillers that are more commonly used:
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a top choice for many because they attract and retain moisture, providing a natural volume boost beneath the skin. These fillers are commonly used to enhance the lips, smooth out wrinkles and folds, and reduce the appearance of scars. The results typically last between four to six months.
Poly-L-lactic acid-based dermal fillers are effective for treating nasolabial folds, smile lines, and other facial wrinkles. They stimulate collagen production, helping restore volume and create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a highly researched dermal filler known for its effectiveness in treating moderate to severe facial lines and folds and restoring lost volume. It is derived from the naturally occurring mineral calcium apatite. It is biodegradable and gradually reabsorbed by the body.

Active infections on or near the injection sites must be fully treated before undergoing a dermal filler treatment. It is best to schedule a consultation to learn more about potential risks.
Starting your journey with dermal fillers in New Jersey begins with scheduling a consultation at our office. During this visit, you’ll meet with one of our experienced providers, who will evaluate your skin and discuss your medical history. Open communication is key to ensuring your safety and minimizing any potential risks, so feel free to share all relevant details. Your provider will take the time to answer all your questions, making sure you feel informed and confident in your decisions.
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, your provider will create a personalized treatment plan designed to meet your aesthetic goals. If you’re ready to proceed, we can often perform the treatment on the same day. Alternatively, if you’d like to schedule for another time, our Patient Coordinator will be happy to find a convenient appointment that fits your schedule.
Your dermal filler treatment will take place at our clinic, where we ensure a fast, comfortable experience. We’ll have you settle into a reclining chair, then apply a cold compress or topical anesthetic cream to the treatment area. While dermal fillers are generally well-tolerated, these steps help maximize your comfort during the process.
Dr. Geria will then skillfully inject the dermal filler into the targeted areas using a fine needle, carefully considering your unique features to achieve natural, balanced results. Throughout the treatment, your provider may gently massage the area to ensure the filler is evenly distributed for a smooth outcome.
After the injections, your provider will assess the results and make any necessary adjustments to ensure perfect symmetry. Depending on the areas being treated and the type of filler used, the entire procedure usually takes 10 to 30 minutes.
Most patients find recovery quick and easy. After treatment, mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur, but these side effects are temporary and usually resolve on their own within a few days.
You can resume your normal activities immediately, but we recommend avoiding intense exercise and heat exposure for a week to minimize swelling and bruising. It’s also best to stay out of direct sunlight and tanning beds during this time.
To ensure optimal results, we’ll provide you with aftercare instructions, which may include hydration tips and gentle skin care advice. With a little attention to post-treatment care, you’ll be on track to enjoy smooth, glowing skin and enhanced features in no time!
To determine the best option for you, a consultation with one of our skincare specialists is essential. During this meeting, they will assess the type of wrinkles and age lines you have, along with your medical history, to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Once we understand your goals, we’ll walk you through the treatment plan and provide you with preparation instructions for your appointment.
