Dermal Fillers
As a normal part of natural aging, our faces gradually lose subcutaneous fat, collagen, and bone density, leading to flattened cheeks, deeper smile lines, and thinner lips. At Knoxville Center for Dermatology & Plastic Surgery, our experienced medical team uses premium dermal filler portfolios from Allergan (Juvéderm® collection) and Galderma (Restylane® collection) to subtly restore volume and refine your natural features.

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth facial creases, and enhance structural contours. Most modern fillers are formulated with hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring sugar molecule in the body that attracts water and keeps skin hydrated and plump.
Our practice utilizes industry-leading products from Allergan Aesthetics and Galderma to offer personalized correction across all tissue depths:
The Juvéderm® Collection by Allergan:
Juvéderm® is a family of dermal filler products that typically contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally produced by your body found in the skin, connective tissues, and eyes. It has binding agents that keep tissues moist and retains hydration throughout the body. Juvéderm® fills in lines and wrinkles to create a more youthful, natural look. There are several Juvéderm® products available, each designed for a specific cosmetic concern. Results from these products typically last between six months and two years.
The Restylane® Collection by Galderma:
Restylane® is a family of dermal filler products which are overall similar to Juvederm®. They utilize specialized NASHA® and XpresHAn Technology™ gels that provide precise structural support and dynamic flexibility. Key options include Restylane® Lyft for cheek and midface structure, Restylane® Kysse for soft, natural lip volume, Restylane® Defyne and Refyne for dynamic laugh lines, and Restylane® Eyelight for tear trough under-eye hollows.
On the day of your appointment, our providers take time to analyze your facial anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. A topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment areas to maximize your comfort, and almost all Allergan and Galderma filler products are pre-formulated with lidocaine to make injections practically painless.
Using microscopic needles or smooth blunt-tipped microcannulas, your provider carefully places precise amounts of filler gel into targeted tissue layers. The provider gently massages the area to ensure a smooth, balanced contour.
Dermal fillers address structural and surface volume concerns across the face:
Dermal fillers can treat the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines.
Dermal fillers provide immediate cosmetic correction that enhances your features without surgery.
Instant Results with Reversibility
You see volume improvements right after treatment. Because HA fillers are biocompatible, they can also be safely dissolved using an enzyme (hyaluronidase) if adjustments are ever needed.
Customized Formulations
Having access to both Allergan and Galderma filler lines ensures your provider picks the ideal gel density for soft lip volume or firm cheek lifting.
Good candidates are non-smoking adults in good health who wish to restore lost volume, refine facial contours, or smooth facial folds. Candidates should have realistic expectations and be free of active skin infections, cold sore outbreaks, or rashes in the treatment area. Tell your provider during consultation if you have a history of severe allergies or take blood-thinning medications.
Dermal fillers involve minimal downtime, allowing you to return to work and light daily activities immediately. You may experience mild swelling, redness, or pinpoint bruising at the injection site, which typically resolves within 2 to 5 days.
To ensure optimal results:
You will notice an immediate visible difference in facial fullness right after your appointment. Final, smooth integration settles over 1 to 2 weeks as initial swelling fully fades.
Depending on the specific Allergan or Galderma product used and the treatment area, results last between 6 to 24 months. Products in the lip area typically last 6 to 12 months due to frequent movement, while structural cheek and jawline fillers can last 12 to 24 months. Periodic touch-up treatments help sustain your refreshed, youthful appearance.

Facelifts, fillers, and injections have been some of the most popular non-surgical options for those looking to achieve a fresher and younger-looking face. That, paired with the recent trend of influencers and celebrities sporting larger and poutier lips as a result of fillers, has led to a record number of people eager to get these cosmetic procedures. With no downtime and practically instant results, it’s no wonder dermal fillers and injectables are so popular.
Dermal fillers and injectables are minimally invasive cosmetic treatments where gel-like substances are injected below the skin for a variety of cosmetic reasons. These procedures are commonly used to increase facial volume or minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles. The result is a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. Injectables can also be focused on one area of the face to target a specific issue, such as eyelids, “crow’s feet,” brow, lips, and cheeks.
Botox® is an injectable treatment that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles primarily in and around the forehead, eye, and mouth areas. The Botox® formula is made up of a substance called botulinum toxin, which blocks nerve signals to the muscles of the face that cause wrinkles. As a result, the wrinkles will begin to soften and will appear diminished.
Dysport® is an injectable treatment, similar to Botox®. The Dysport® formula works by relaxing muscles, similar to Botox®, preventing them from contracting and forming wrinkles.
Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes muscles, reducing expression lines (like forehead wrinkles). Dermal fillers are physical hyaluronic acid gels that restore lost volume, plump tissue, and fill in static folds.
Depending on the specific formulation and treatment location, Juvéderm® and Restylane® fillers typically last between 6 and 24 months before naturally dissolving.
Because both product lines are made of hyaluronic acid, the filler can be quickly and safely dissolved using an injectable enzyme called hyaluronidase if adjustments are needed.
Costs depend on the specific Allergan or Galderma product chosen, the number of syringes required, and the target treatment area. Our team provides clear, upfront pricing during your personal consultation.
