What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are versatile injectable treatments that can restore lost volume, soften static facial wrinkles, enhance contours, and improve facial balance. Some fillers are made with hyaluronic acid and provide immediate volume and shape, while biostimulatory fillers work in part by encouraging collagen production for more gradual improvement.
Formulations vary in firmness, flexibility, longevity, and how they behave within facial tissues. These differences allow Dr. Wick to tailor treatment to the type of correction needed.
What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers can be used in different areas of the face. Depending on your concerns, Dr. Wick may recommend fillers to address:
- Cheeks: Restore midface fullness or create more definition along the cheekbones.
- Lips: Increase volume, refine shape, or correct asymmetry.
- Chin: Enhance projection to improve the profile and balance of the lower face.
- Jawline: Add structure along the lower border of the face for a sharper, more defined contour.
- Nasolabial folds: Reduce the prominence of the creases that extend from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth.
- Facial balancing: Make small, strategic adjustments to improve overall facial proportion.
What to Expect During a Dermal Filler Treatment
Dr. Wick performs dermal filler treatments at our Beachwood office. Appointments usually take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
After cleansing the treatment site, Dr. Wick identifies the appropriate injection points based on your anatomy and the desired correction. She then places precise amounts of the selected filler where additional volume, support, or definition is needed. A topical anesthetic can be applied beforehand for additional comfort if desired.
Dermal Filler Recovery
Dr. Wick will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on your treatment. Little to no downtime is needed after filler injections, though temporary swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising may occur around the injection sites. These post-treatment effects usually resolve within two to three days.
Dermal Fillers vs. Neuromodulators
Although both are injectable treatments, dermal fillers and neuromodulators have distinct applications. Dermal fillers are primarily used to add volume to enhance facial contours and soften lines that remain visible when the face is at rest. Neuromodulators such as BOTOX®, Dysport®, and DAXXIFY® temporarily reduce activity in selected muscles to minimize wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet.
For patients with both volume-related concerns and dynamic wrinkles, the two types of injectables may be used together as part of a more comprehensive treatment plan.
Why Choose Dr. Elizabeth Wick for Dermal Fillers in Cleveland?

Dermal Filler FAQs
How much do dermal fillers cost in Cleveland?
Dermal fillers at our Beachwood practice cost $750 to $900 per syringe. The total cost of treatment depends on the product used, the area or areas being treated, and the amount of filler needed to achieve your goals. You will receive individualized recommendations and pricing before treatment. Financing is available through PatientFi for qualified patients.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Dermal fillers are generally considered safe when administered by a qualified medical professional. Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness are among the most common short-term effects, although less common complications are possible with any injectable treatment. Dr. Wick will discuss relevant risks and considerations with you during your consultation.
How long do dermal filler results last?
Dermal filler results commonly last six to 18 months, although longevity varies considerably by product, treatment area, amount used, and individual response. More specific expectations can be provided once Dr. Wick has determined which filler is appropriate for your treatment.
Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can be a good option for adults in good overall health who want to restore facial volume, enhance specific features, or improve facial proportions without surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Wick will review your medical history, medications, allergies, facial structure, and skin quality to determine if biostimulatory filler, hyaluronic acid filler, or another treatment is the best option.
Patients with more significant skin laxity, jowling, or descended facial tissues may be better candidates for facial plastic surgery, such as a facelift or neck lift. Dr. Wick evaluates the underlying cause of the concern before recommending treatment.
Will my dermal filler results look natural?
Yes. Dr. Wick takes a conservative approach and evaluates the face as a whole to improve facial balance while avoiding an overdone look. She focuses on subtle changes in carefully selected areas to enhance your features rather than dramatically changing your appearance.
How much filler will I need?
The amount needed depends on the areas being treated and the degree of change you want to achieve. Dr. Wick will determine the right amount during your consultation based on your specific needs.
When will I see results after dermal filler injections?
The timeline depends on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers can produce visible changes immediately, although early swelling may temporarily affect the appearance of the treated area. Results from biostimulatory fillers develop more gradually as collagen production increases over time.
Is filler the same as BOTOX®?
No. Filler is primarily used to restore volume and enhance contours. BOTOX and other neuromodulators reduce muscle activity to reduce expression-related wrinkles.
What is the best dermal filler?
There is no single dermal filler that is best for every patient or treatment area. Different formulations offer different degrees of softness, structure, flexibility, and longevity, so a product that works well in one part of the face may not be the preferred choice somewhere else.
Dr. Wick considers the treatment area, your anatomy, and the type of result you want when selecting a filler.
