One reason dermal fillers are so popular is their versatility. They not only restore volume and minimize fine lines, but also enhance facial balance and definition. Our Denver patients love dermal fillers because they’re all about letting your natural beauty shine. At SkinLab, our expert injectors tailor every plan to your features, your lifestyle, and your long-term skin goals.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved injectable gels, often made of hyaluronic acid, that temporarily restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and refine facial contours by adding support beneath the skin. By adding or replenishing fullness, they soften lines and folds, smooth indented or flattened areas, and subtly lift or define features.

Common treatment areas include:

  • Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
  • Under-eye bags and hollows
  • Cheekbones
  • Jawline
  • Lips

When done well, contouring with filler is very natural-looking. You’ll recognize your face, only fresher, more defined, and more polished.

Our Menu of Fillers

We offer top-tier filler options designed to smooth, shape, and subtly restore volume where it’s needed. Our injectors recommend the right product for your anatomy and goals, so you don’t have to worry about choosing the “right one.” Each formulation has its strengths, and our team blends artistry with precision to create results that look natural and balanced.

JUVÉDERM®

The JUVÉDERM collection is known for its silky-smooth consistency and versatile results. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally produces, JUVÉDERM works beautifully to:

  • Restore soft volume in the cheeks and midface
  • Smooth smile lines or nasolabial folds
  • Add natural-looking shape and hydration to the lips

Each JUVÉDERM product varies slightly in texture and lift capacity, enabling our injectors to fine-tune results. Whether you’re seeking subtle refinement or a more defined structure, JUVÉDERM helps maintain soft, flexible movement so your expressions still feel natural.

Restylane®

Restylane is another advanced family of hyaluronic acid-based fillers, with formulas designed for both fine detail and deep contour. Its slightly firmer gel structure makes it ideal for sculpting and precision work.

We often use Restylane to:

  • Sharpen the jawline or define cheekbones
  • Smooth under-eye hollows or tear troughs
  • Enhance lip shape and symmetry

Because the Restylane line offers a range of consistencies—from feather-light to deeply supportive—it’s a flexible tool for customized rejuvenation. Your provider will determine which Restylane formulation best complements your facial anatomy and treatment goals.

Sculptra® Biostimulator

Sculptra is not a traditional dermal filler, but a biostimulator; it is a unique collagen-stimulating injectable made with poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). Instead of adding volume instantly, it gradually encourages your body to rebuild its own collagen over time. The result is a more natural, long-term improvement in skin firmness and facial contour.

Sculptra is often recommended for:

  • Restoring fullness in the cheeks and temples
  • Enhancing overall facial structure and lift
  • Improving skin quality by stimulating collagen renewal

You’ll notice results develop subtly over several months, making this an ideal choice if you prefer a more progressive transformation and lasting, refreshed skin tone.

What To Expect

We want the process to feel as effortless as the outcome looks.

  • For lip fillers, we use numbing cream to optimize comfort so you’re relaxed during treatment.
  • For other areas such as the cheeks, jawline, and temples, we’ll use techniques that maximize your comfort and minimize downtime.
  • Most patients return to their routine right away, but you should expect minimal swelling or bruising for a day or two.

Nonsurgical ‘Liquid Facelift’ Combinations 

At SkinLab, we believe in multi-dimensional aesthetic planning. That means combining fillers with neuromodulators such as BOTOX® or Dysport® when needed.

  • Neuromodulators (botulinum toxins) reduce facial muscle activity, reducing movement-related lines.
  • Fillers restore structure and soften lines that exist even at rest, enhancing volume and contour rather than modifying muscle movement.

By pairing them in what is sometimes called a “liquid facelift,” you get the best of both worlds: smoother movement lines and enhanced contours. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether a combined plan makes sense for you.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

Dermal fillers are not permanent; they typically last between 6 months and 2 years. The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and how your body naturally breaks them down over time.

  • Hyaluronic Acid Fillers (JUVÉDERM & Restylane): HA fillers generally last 6 to 18 months, depending on the specific product and concern. The lips and other areas with greater movement tend to metabolize filler more quickly.
  • Biostimulators (Sculptra): Because biostimulators boost natural collagen production over time, your results develop gradually and may last up to 2 years.

Are Fillers Reversible?

If adjustments are needed, most hyaluronic acid fillers, including JUVÉDERM and Restylane, can be dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Biostimulators such as Sculptra are not reversible because they stimulate collagen production rather than simply adding volume with hyaluronic acid.

Dermal Filler FAQs

Will I still look like myself after filler?

Yes. Our goal is always to enhance your appearance, not change it. You’ll look refreshed, subtly defined, and authentically you.


When is the best time to start filler?

There’s no “perfect age,” but many women in their late 20s to 30s begin getting fillers when they notice early volume loss, smile lines that persist at rest, or want a bit more definition in cheeks, lips, or jawline. Younger individuals often opt for lip fillers to get that perfect pout. We’ll help you decide if now is right.


What’s the best dermal filler brand?

There is no single best brand of filler; what matters is technique, anatomy, and aesthetic plan. Your provider will guide your filler decision based on their experience and what will work best for your concerns.


Is there any downtime after the treatment?

No. You can return to work or run errands the same day, as long as you follow simple aftercare instructions, such as avoiding strenuous workouts for 24 hours and skipping heavy alcohol the first evening.


Do filler injections hurt?

No, most people tolerate fillers well. For lips, we use numbing cream; for other areas, you may feel a slight pinch. Most dermal fillers also contain lidocaine to improve comfort during injections.
