What Are Dermal Fillers?
Injectable dermal fillers (sometimes simply called "fillers") are a popular nonsurgical treatment option for women and men who want to restore volume to their features. The face can lose volume for a number of reasons, but weight loss and age are the leading causes. This procedure works by injecting a liquid filler under the surface of the skin to fill in areas lacking volume or shape. Injectable fillers are a promising, minimally invasive solution for individuals desiring to even out sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines in order to create a more youthful appearance. They can also be added to other aesthetic services to provide the benefits of a traditional facelift without the need for surgery or an extended recovery period. At Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, we offer Restylane® and JUVÉDERM® injections for our patients in the Chicago, IL area. To determine which formula is best for you, we invite you to set up a consultation with our team.
How Are Dermal Filler Treatments Performed?
Prior to your treatment, one of our friendly providers will meet with you to discuss the concerns you wish to address and the overall look you want to achieve. From there, we can talk about the benefits of each of our fillers and help select the one that's best for your needs. Before administering your injections, we may apply a numbing cream to minimize any potential discomfort. Some dermal fillers also feature lidocaine to make the treatment more comfortable. The selected filler will be injected into different areas around your face to create the desired effect. Depending on your goals and needs, we may use either half a syringe or an entire syringe.

Dermal Fillers Reviews
Jessica is AMAZING! My friend and I recently visited her for botox treatments and could not have been happier with the results! Jessica is kind, gentle and walks you through every step on the process. We both felt extremely comfortable and trusted her 100%. I cannot express how easy and painless the whole process was. After the tiny little poke we both had minor swelling (that looked like a mosquito bite) that was gone within the hour, just as Jessica had ensured us! My friend went back a week later for lip fillers and again, had an amazing experience! They look PERFECT! I'm already looking forward to my next visit with Jessica!!
I visited Robyn for Botox and filler and, while I’m quite selective and not one to throw around superlatives lightly, she’s the best injector I’ve ever had (and I’ve been getting injectables for years!). She listened closely to my needs, understood them, and implemented everything beautifully, gently, and painlessly. Her injection technique minimizes pain and discomfort, plus she’s super quick. The staff, especially Courtney, are warm, welcoming, and personable. The space is beautiful and, together with the sweet staff, it all makes for a great experience.
I have been coming to NSPS for my injectable treatments for years. Everyone here is very skilled, professional, and personable. I definitely recommend coming here. I have gotten Botox, Dysport, and Skinvive, and have always had a great experience.
