Look in the mirror and notice it — a little less fullness in your cheeks, lips that have thinned over time, or lines that seem to have appeared overnight. Volume loss is one of the earliest and most common signs of aging, but it does not have to define how you look or feel. Dermal fillers offer a non-surgical solution that restores youthful contours, softens lines, and enhances your natural features — often in just one appointment.
Ivy Aesthetics and Wellness Center in Williamsburg, VA, is a physician-led practice that offers fillers and other injectable treatments. Dr. William Gartlan, DO, brings the precision and clinical expertise of a trained physician to every appointment. He is committed to your safety, natural-looking results, and a personalized experience from your very first visit.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gels — most commonly made from hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in your body — used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. They can be used to plump lips, lift cheeks, soften smile lines, and refine the jawline or chin. Results are immediate and can last from several months to over a year, depending on the product and area treated.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for good reason. They offer:
-
Immediate, visible results
-
No surgery and minimal downtime
-
Natural-looking volume restoration
-
Customizable treatment plans
-
Long-lasting effects
-
Reversibility — hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed
Am I a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a great option for adults who are bothered by volume loss, fine lines, or facial asymmetry and are looking for a non-invasive solution. Good candidates are in general good health, have realistic expectations, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding. Dr. Gartlan will review your health history and goals during a one-on-one consultation to determine if fillers are the right fit for you.
What to Expect During Treatment
Filler appointments are quick and comfortable, typically lasting 30 to 60 minutes. A topical numbing cream is often applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Dr. Gartlan carefully administers the filler using a technique tailored to your unique facial anatomy. Most patients return to their normal routine the same day.
Recovery and Results
Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur after treatment but typically resolves within a few days. Results are visible almost immediately and continue to settle and improve over the following week. Depending on the filler used and the area treated, results can last from 6 months to 2 years or more.
