What Are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic choice for men and women who want to replenish lost facial volume. Faces often lack volume for a variety of reasons, but weight loss and age are commonly to blame. The process works by injecting the dermal filler under the surface of the skin to fill in the areas that appear sunken or hollow. Injectable fillers are a great, nonsurgical option for individuals in the Greater Chicago area who want to smooth fine lines, sagging skin, and/or wrinkles to create a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers can also be added to other cosmetic services to provide the benefits of a facelift without the need for surgery, the risk of scarring, and the required downtime that follows. There are many different types of fillers that could help meet the requests and desires of each individual. We offer a number of filler options at TOP ReNu Medicine, including:
- RADIESSE®: RADIESSE is made with microspheres of calcium hydroxyapatite to smooth the look and feel of fine lines and wrinkles. RADIESSE is celebrated for its long-lasting results, which can remain for up to two years without maintenance treatments.
- Sculptra®: Sculptra Aesthetic is a poly-L-lactic acid-based dermal filler designed to add volume to the cheeks for a more youthful appearance. Sculptra is also effective at reducing the look of deep lines and wrinkles around the nose and lips.
- Hyaluronic Acid Injections: Hyaluronic acid (HA) injections supplement your body's natural production of HA, a vital ingredient used to keep your joints, eyes, and skin healthy. HA is included as an ingredient in a variety of dermal filler injections due to its effectiveness in creating smoother skin with fewer visible wrinkles.
To find out which products are recommended for you, we encourage you to visit TOP ReNu Medicine, where our physician-led team can help you make this decision.
How Do Dermal Filler Injections Work?
Prior to your injection, our team will consult with you to learn more about your desired results and decide what product will best achieve them. At the time of the actual procedure, your provider will apply topical numbing cream as an anesthetic to make the injections as pain-free as possible. They will decide the amount of filler that is necessary and will carefully and evenly inject it through a very fine needle. Depending on the desired outcome, either half or an entire syringe could be used.
What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

- Rejuvenating and plumping regions that are hollow or sunken
- Boosting your confidence in your skin and total look
- Enhancing facial fullness to achieve your ideal facial shape
- Addressing regions with skin laxity or wrinkles

Are Dermal Fillers Right for Me?
The ideal candidates for dermal fillers are those looking to minimize the presence of fine lines and wrinkles without undergoing a surgical facelift. Usually, individuals with significant signs of aging or who have recently lost a significant amount of weight have areas on their face that are uneven or sunken in. This makes them great candidates for injectable fillers. Fillers are also a great option for those who are not comfortable with the scars that can result from a surgical facelift.
