Dermal Fillers & Injectables

It can be frustrating to look in the mirror and see early signs of aging like fine lines and dynamic wrinkles (those occurring with movement). Our dermal filler and injectable treatments provide you with a smoother, more youthful look after just one minimally invasive treatment. Triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Jennifer Matthesen offers dermal filler and injectable treatments to help men and women in Jacksonville, St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach and the neighboring communities in St. Johns County restore their youthful appearance.

What are Dermal Fillers and Injectables?

Dermal filler and injectable treatments are minimally invasive injectable treatments that add volume, relax muscles, or reduce fat in the treated areas to smooth away any imperfections and reduce unwanted signs of aging. Dermal fillers, like Juvederm® and Restylane®, are clear gels that plump up the treated areas to create a fuller, smoother appearance. Dermal fillers are typically used to fill folds and wrinkles around the mouth and lower face, or to add volume to thinning areas like the lips or cheeks. Injectables typically refer to treatments like Botox®, which relax the muscles in treated areas to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repeated muscle movements. These treatments are generally used along the forehead and around the eyes for a refreshed, rejuvenated look.

  • How Much Do Dermal Fillers and Injectables Cost in Jacksonville, FL?

    The cost of dermal filler and injectable treatments at Matthesen Cosmetic Surgery will vary depending on the type of treatment you choose.

  • What Dermal Filler and Injectable Treatments are Offered?

    At Matthesen Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a variety of dermal filler and injectable treatments including:


    Botox®

    • Botox® is one of the most popular injectable treatments available, best known for relaxing treated muscles to get rid of fine lines and deep wrinkles across the forehead and between the brows.

    Juvederm®

    • Juvederm® is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler most often used to improve the appearance of general fine lines and wrinkles around the face, as well as enhance areas like the lips and cheeks by adding volume.

    Restylane®

    • Restylane® is a hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler similar to Juvederm® that is also popularly used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or to add volume to sunken or thinned areas of the face.

    Fat Transfer and Injections

    • Facial fat transfer allows you to restore volume and reduce fine lines and wrinkles around your face by using your body’s own natural tissue, which gives the added benefit of improving skin quality.

    Kybella®

    • Kybella® is a simple injectable treatment used to melt away small pockets of fat to sculpt your jawline and address the dreaded “double chin”.

    PRP Therapy

    • Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy treatments use a purified portion of your very own blood to help rejuvenate your skin and promote your body’s natural healing processes.

Dermal Fillers & Injectable FAQs

  • How Long Do Injectable Fillers Last?

    Injectable and dermal filler treatments provide long-lasting results for how brief and convenient their treatments are. Most injectable treatments last at least six months, with some lasting as long as one or two years or even longer.

  • Do Fillers Make You Age Faster?

    Fillers are one of the leading treatments for diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. However, they may cause unwanted long-term effects when they are used prematurely. We often recommend using dermal fillers to restore volume to skin that is sagging due to age-related volume loss, which does not create these results. When fillers are used before any volume loss occurs, they may stretch out the skin, causing the skin to age faster once the dermal filler wears off.

  • At What Age Should You Get Fillers?

    There is no ideal age for dermal fillers and injectables, as every patient will age differently. However, patients of almost any age can benefit from these treatments. Younger patients can take advantage of injectable treatments like Botox® to slow the onset of aging and extend their youthfulness. Patients who have already begun to experience the effects of aging can benefit from these treatments as well, and may also benefit from dermal filler treatments that restore volume to the skin and smooth out wrinkles and lines.

  • Are Fillers Better Than Botox®?

    Describe the item or answer the question so that site visitors who are interested get more information. You can emphasize this text with bullets, italics or bold, and add links.Fillers and Botox® are two different injectable treatments, with different purposes. Dermal fillers restore volume to the skin, addressing age-related volume loss and smoothing out lines and wrinkles. Botox®, on the other hand, targets facial muscles and limits their contractions to prevent the formation or worsening of wrinkles. So while Botox® can be a preventative treatment, dermal fillers are primarily used to address signs of aging that have already developed.

  • How Long Does it Take for Fillers to Settle?

    While you will notice results immediately after your dermal filler treatment, it can take several days for these fillers to “settle” into their final state. Don’t be concerned if your results are not perfect immediately, as most patients notice that their results settle, soften and smooth out within two weeks of treatment.

Botox

We always love to express ourselves, but we never think about the deep wrinkles those repeated expressions may leave behind. Botox® is an injectable treatment that relaxes the facial muscles to reduce the fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements.

What is Botox®?

Botox® is a minimally invasive, injectable cosmetic treatment that smooths out the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in treated areas. Botox® works because its active ingredient, botulinum toxin, relaxes the muscles beneath the skin that are causing wrinkles to appear. This quick, simple treatment allows you to restore beautifully smooth skin for the ultimate refreshed look.

Fat also has the ability to improve skin quality and pigment and to soften scars. The procedure involves using gentle liposuction to harvest a small amount of fat from a donor area of the body, typically the midsection or thighs. Once harvested, the fat is purified and placed into a syringe, and then injected into treatment areas for its volumizing and rejuvenating effects.

    • Minimally invasive
    • Minimal downtime and recovery period
    • Smooths and improves skin texture
    • Adds volume to sunken facial features, like the cheeks
    • Improves the appearance of marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and smoker’s lines
    • Contours and slims the area from which fat is harvested
    • Improves skin quality, texture and color
    • Uses the body’s natural tissues
    • Can be more affordable than fillers in the long run
  • What Can I Expect During my Fat Transfer & Injection Treatment?

    Before your treatment begins, Dr. Matthesen will prep the skin and numb your harvest and injection sites to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Matthesen will begin by harvesting a small amount of fat from your chosen area (typically the midsection or thighs) using gentle liposuction. Once the fat is removed, it will be purified and then transferred into syringes. Dr. Matthesen will then strategically inject it into areas of the face you wish to plump and rejuvenate. The entire treatment process typically takes one to two hours to complete.

  • What Can I Expect After my Fat Transfer & Injection Treatment?

    Following your facial fat transfer treatment, you may experience swelling, bruising, and tenderness around your harvest and injection sites. These side effects are normal and typically resolve on their own in several days after your fat transfer treatment. Because this treatment involves a small amount of gentle liposuction, patients do sometimes take a few days off from work to fully recover. You should be able to return to work and other normal daily activities in less than a week following your treatment. While you will be able to see some immediate results in the areas of fat harvest and fat injection, ultimate results will become visible once the fat has survived and all swelling subsides, approximately three to six months following your procedure.

  • Am I a Good Candidate for Fat Transfer & Injection?

She will sit down with you, discuss your concerns and desired results, and develop a fully personalized treatment plan to help you reach your ultimate aesthetic goals.
