Dermal fillers are non-surgical treatments used to restore volume, smooth lines, and refine facial contours. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick offers personalized filler treatments that enhance natural features without looking overdone. His experience in facial anatomy allows for precise, subtle improvements that align with each patient’s goals.
What Dermal Fillers May Improve
As skin loses elasticity and volume over time, certain areas of the face may appear less firm or defined. Dermal fillers may help:
- Restore volume to the cheeks and midface
- Smooth smile lines and marionette lines
- Improve lip shape and fullness
- Refine under-eye hollows
- Enhance jawline or chin definition
- Support overall facial balance
These treatments are designed to provide natural-looking refinement, often with immediate results.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers may be an option for individuals who:
- Want to restore lost facial volume
- Prefer a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation
- Wish to improve symmetry or enhance specific features
- Want results with little to no downtime
- Are in good health and have realistic expectations
During a consultation, Dr. Andochick evaluates facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine which filler type and placement areas will be most effective.
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers are gel-like injectable products designed to replenish volume and smooth targeted areas. Most fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin that helps maintain hydration and structure.
The treatment process includes:
- Cleansing and preparing the skin
- Applying the peel solution for a controlled time
- Neutralizing or allowing the solution to self-neutralize
- Providing personalized post-care instructions
Lighter peels gently refresh the top layer of skin, while stronger peels reach deeper layers for more noticeable change. Dr. Andochick selects the formula that best aligns with the patient’s desired improvement and expected downtime.
Chemical Peel Recovery and Results
Recovery varies depending on peel strength. Light peels may require very little downtime, while medium or deeper treatments may involve temporary flaking or peeling.
General expectations may include:
- Mild redness for a short period
- Light flaking as the skin renews
- Avoiding sun exposure and using proper skin protection
- Noticing gradual improvement in brightness, texture, and clarity
Results appear as new, healthy skin surfaces. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement, depending on the patient’s goals.
Combining Chemical Peels With Other Treatments
Chemical peels pair well with many non-surgical treatments, including microneedling, fillers, and neurotoxin injections. When combined, these approaches can help support comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Dr. Andochick provides personalized guidance to create a plan that fits each patient’s goals and skin needs.
