Facial fillers are non-surgical injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. As we age, the face naturally loses collagen, fat, and elasticity, leading to sagging skin, hollow areas, and fine lines. Dermal fillers help reverse these changes by replenishing lost volume and supporting the skin from within.
At California Eye & Face in Fresno, facial filler treatments are administered by experienced aesthetic professionals under the direction of Dr. Atif Collins. Dr. Collins is one of only 700 surgeons in the United States certified by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (ASOPRS), a distinction that reflects his exceptional qualifications and commitment to excellence. He is also board-certified with advanced cosmetic surgery training. Dr. Collins ensures every treatment is performed with safety, precision, and an eye for natural, balanced results. Patients from across the San Joaquin Central Valley trust California Eye & Face for personalized care that helps them look and feel their best.
What Are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers or soft tissue fillers, are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, soften creases, and enhance facial features. Most fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that binds water and adds structure to the skin. Others stimulate collagen production to build volume gradually over time.
At California Eye & Face, the following premium filler brands are available:
- Restylane® – A versatile HA-based filler used to treat wrinkles, lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows
- Juvederm® – A family of HA fillers designed to smooth folds and enhance lips, cheeks, and jawlines
- Sculptra® – A collagen stimulator that improves skin thickness and volume over several months
- Radiesse® – A calcium-based filler that provides immediate volume and also stimulates collagen
- Belotero® – A smooth, lightweight filler ideal for delicate areas such as fine lines around the mouth
Each product has unique properties and is selected based on the treatment area, skin condition, and desired results.
Areas Commonly Treated with Fillers
Facial fillers are used to enhance and rejuvenate a variety of areas, including:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines (lines from corners of mouth downward)
- Cheeks and midface volume loss
- Lips – for subtle enhancement or restoring lost fullness
- Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)
- Chin and jawline contouring
- Temples and other areas with volume depletion
Fillers can also be used to balance facial proportions and refine asymmetries with precision and subtlety.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Filler treatments are performed in-office and typically take 30 to 60 minutes. The procedure involves a series of small injections using fine needles or microcannulas. Most fillers contain lidocaine to minimize discomfort, and topical numbing cream may be applied beforehand.
After treatment:
- Mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur and usually resolves within a few days
- Results are visible immediately with most fillers
- Sculptra builds gradually, with optimal results appearing over a few months
- Duration of results varies by product and treatment area, typically lasting 6 to 18 months
Patients can return to normal activities the same day, although strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours.
The Benefits of Facial Fillers
