Your facial appearance undergoes a variety of changes as you get older. It's common for your natural supply of collagen to decrease, resulting in a loss of facial volume. In addition, your skin may lose some elasticity as part of the aging process. These changes often result in sagging skin and the development of facial wrinkles. Fortunately, there are a variety of minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedures that can help you address these issues.
If you would like to restore a more youthful, rejuvenated facial appearance, dermal fillers may potentially be the right option to help achieve your goals. You can receive individualized recommendations regarding your skin rejuvenation options by speaking with Dr. Jay Orringer in person. Please contact our Beverly Hills office to schedule a dermal filler consultation.
What Can Dermal Fillers Correct?
Dermal fillers are a versatile treatment that can temporarily help improve many issues associated with facial aging. They may be a good alternative for those with mild to moderate signs of aging and who are not ready for more extensive facial plastic surgery.
Dr. Orringer can administer dermal fillers to restore lost facial volume and fill in wrinkles that have developed due to the aging process. Dermal fillers can be used to potentially address:
- Lost facial volume
- Facial lines and wrinkles

Dermal Fillers FAQs
How do dermal fillers work?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to add volume beneath the skin. They are commonly made of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body. When placed strategically, fillers may help smooth facial creases, restore volume loss, and support subtle contour enhancement. Dr. Orringer prefers a conservative approach designed to create refined, more natural-appearing results.
What areas of the face are commonly treated with fillers?
Fillers may be used in various areas depending on individual anatomy and goals. Common treatment zones include the cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), lips, jawline, temples, and under-eye hollows. During consultation, Dr. Orringer evaluates each patient’s facial anatomy to determine the most appropriate areas for potential treatment.
What is the difference between Botox and dermal fillers?
Botox and dermal fillers are both injectables, but they serve different purposes. Botox temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic lines, such as forehead creases or crow’s feet. Fillers, by contrast, restore volume and structure to static areas affected by aging or facial shape. In some cases, both treatments may be used in a complementary fashion.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Candidates for dermal fillers typically include individuals who have experienced facial volume loss or wish to address specific areas with mild to moderate soft tissue deficiency. Reasonable skin quality and realistic goals are important. Patients with certain medical conditions or allergies may not be suitable candidates. Dr. Orringer conducts a thorough evaluation prior to recommending treatment.
Will I look overdone after fillers?
Dr. Orringer takes a conservative, measured approach to all filler treatments. His goal is to enhance facial features in a way that supports natural contour and avoids exaggerated or overfilled results. Patients are carefully assessed before treatment to better assure that enhancement is appropriate for their anatomy.
How long do dermal fillers last?
The longevity of fillers depends on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism. Most hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 to 18 months. Cheek and jawline fillers tend to last longer than those placed in areas with more movement, such as the lips.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Yes, hyaluronic acid-based fillers may be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. This option is available in cases where adjustments are needed or if a patient chooses to reverse the result. Reversals are rare, however, as most patients are pleased with their result.
Can I get Botox and fillers in the same visit?
Yes, when appropriate, Botox and fillers may be administered during the same appointment. They address different concerns and can work together to support facial balance. Dr. Orringer determines treatment sequencing based on patient anatomy and desired goals.
