Dermal fillers are injectable treatments formulated to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful appearance. At St. Pete Aesthetics, we offer dermal fillers in St Petersburg using Restylane and Juvéderm, two leading hyaluronic acid-based products that address concerns like deep lines, loss of volume in the cheeks or lips, and fine wrinkles. Whether you’re seeking subtle enhancements or more noticeable rejuvenation, our expert team tailors each treatment to your unique needs, ensuring safe, effective, and long-lasting results.
Dermal Fillers Correct:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Volume loss in cheeks and midface
- Thinning lips and lip definition
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines from mouth to chin)
- Chin and jawline contouring
- Under-eye hollows
- Scarring (such as acne scars)
How They Work
Dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body, to restore lost volume and smooth wrinkles. HA binds to water molecules, which helps hydrate and plump the skin, creating a fuller, youthful appearance. The filler also enhances skin elasticity and structure, which can help define facial features like the cheeks, chin, and lips. Over time, the filler is gradually absorbed by the body, making the effects temporary but long-lasting. Different formulations target different areas to ensure natural-looking results.
Your Dermal Filler Options
Restylane
Restylane offers a versatile range of fillers for different facial areas and concerns. Restylane Defyne and Restylane Refyne use innovative XpresHAn Technology™ to smooth deep lines while preserving natural facial expressions, ideal for nasolabial folds and marionette lines. Restylane Kysse is specially formulated for lips, Restylane Lyft is FDA-approved for adding volume to cheeks and hands, and Restylane Silk provides precision in smoothing fine lines. Meanwhile, Restylane Contour provides a natural-looking lift to facial contours.
Juvéderm
Juvéderm consists of smooth, hyaluronic acid-based fillers known for providing subtle yet effective facial enhancements. Juvéderm Ultra XC is ideal for adding volume and fullness to lips and softening moderate facial wrinkles like smile lines. Its smooth consistency allows for even distribution and natural results. Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC is a denser formula that addresses deeper facial wrinkles and folds, making it effective for areas requiring more significant volume. Both fillers include lidocaine for a more comfortable treatment experience.

Dermal Fillers FAQs
What should I avoid before my dermal filler appointment?
To minimize the risk of bruising and swelling, avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements (like aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, and vitamin E) for 3–5 days prior to your appointment. We also recommend refraining from alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours before your visit.
Will my dermal filler treatment hurt?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort! The Restylane® and Juvéderm® formulas used at St. Pete Aesthetics contain lidocaine—a local anesthetic that numbs the area as it is injected. Additionally, our experienced providers can apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to make your treatment as smooth and comfortable as possible.
How long does swelling or bruising last after dermal fillers?
While you will notice an immediate improvement in volume, mild swelling or localized bruising is completely normal. Swelling typically peaks within the first 24–48 hours and subsides significantly over 3–5 days, with your final, fully integrated results settling at around 2 weeks.
Can I fly or travel right after getting dermal fillers?
We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before flying. Changes in cabin air pressure can temporarily exacerbate localized swelling, and staying on the ground for the first day or two ensures you are close to our St. Petersburg clinic in the rare event you have post-treatment questions.
What happens if I don't like my filler results?
Because Restylane® and Juvéderm® are hyaluronic acid-based fillers, they are completely reversible. If you ever feel your results are uneven or overfilled, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be injected to safely and quickly dissolve the product within hours.
How does Botox differ from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers and Botox target different cosmetic concerns using completely distinct methods. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane® and Juvéderm®, work by physically restoring lost volume, defining structural contours like the cheeks and jawline, and plumping static lines or thinning lips. In contrast, Botox is a neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for dynamic expression lines, such as forehead creases, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Because they address different types of aging, many patients combine both treatments in a single appointment for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
