Facial Lifting Q & A

How do fillers improve my appearance?

Patients select dermal fillers for a host of reasons. Some of the most common are:

  • Smooth smile lines

  • Even out frown lines

  • Boost sunken cheeks

  • Build up regressed chins

  • Fill in crow’s feet

  • Minimize scars

  • Decrease the appearance of acne pocks

  • Plump thinning lips

  • Volumize shallow cheeks

Restoring volume to a variety of trouble areas is performed in one day with fillers. Dr. Schneider meets with you to analyze your skin and health history to determine which type of filler is best for your needs and goals.

Do fillers hurt?

Fillers are injected with a needle, so you should prepare for some stinging and a little burning. However, Dr. Schneider is a compassionate, skilled provider who goes above and beyond to ensure your safety and comfort. 

Before your procedure, you’ll be made comfortable in your private spa-like room. Dr. Schneider coats the treatment area with a topical numbing cream and gives your skin plenty of time to lose sensation before she begins. You can be sure that any discomfort you feel is only momentary and will quickly go away.

Am I a good candidate for fillers?

Since dermal fillers replace a natural substance your body makes, almost anyone with signs of aging is a good candidate to receive fillers. Dr. Schneider is highly trained and experienced in the subtle variations each type of dermal filler provides and helps guide your care as you select the treatment that’s best for you.
