Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are safe, gel-like injectable substances that smooth creases, fine lines, and wrinkles to rejuvenate your skin and add volume and fullness to your face. At Cella Foot & Ankle Specialty, Dr. Cella uses dermal fillers to enhance the lips, fill the cheeks, refine the jawline, soften grooves beneath the eyes, and make many other cosmetic refinements that reduce the visible effects of aging. Rather than filling in wrinkles directly, dermal fillers add volume to the desired area to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, helping patients throughout Fair Lawn, NJ look naturally refreshed.
What to Expect From Dermal Fillers
FDA-approved dermal fillers can last between six and twelve months before they are gradually absorbed back into the skin and the results begin to fade. The lifespan and overall effectiveness of your treatment depend on your individual physiology, which is why we recommend a consultation with your doctor before beginning. Most FDA-approved dermal fillers are also infused with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment. The injections take only a short amount of time to complete, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Dermal fillers are part of our full medical aesthetics menu and are often combined with Botox® and chemical peels for a complete, natural-looking refresh.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are dermal fillers used for?
Dermal fillers add volume and fullness to the face to smooth creases, fine lines, and wrinkles. They can enhance the lips, fill the cheeks, refine the jawline, and soften grooves beneath the eyes, reducing the visible effects of aging.
How do dermal fillers reduce wrinkles?
Rather than filling wrinkles directly, dermal fillers add volume to the surrounding area. This lifts and supports the skin, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and creates a smoother, more youthful look.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Most FDA-approved dermal fillers last between six and twelve months before being gradually absorbed by the body. The exact duration varies based on your individual physiology and the type of filler used.
Are dermal filler injections painful?
Discomfort is minimal. Most FDA-approved fillers are infused with lidocaine to help numb the area, and the treatment is quick, so most patients tolerate it very well.
Is there any downtime after fillers?
The treatment takes only a short time, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately afterward. Some may notice mild swelling or tenderness that resolves quickly.
Why is a consultation recommended before treatment?
Because the results and longevity of fillers depend on your individual physiology and goals, a consultation allows Dr. Cella to recommend the right product and approach for you and to ensure the treatment is safe and appropriate.
