Injectable Fillers
Our dermal fillers consist of a clear gel containing hyaluronic acid (HA) infused with lidocaine for enhanced comfort during and after injection. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, helps maintain hydration. The results of our fillers typically last between six months to over two years, depending on the filler type, injected amount, and treatment area.
We proudly offer a variety of brands at our practice locations, including Juvéderm by Allergan, Restylane Collection, and Sculptra® for Collagen Renewal.
If you're ready to revitalize your appearance, schedule your appointment for injectable fillers with Pinnacle Dermatology today. Our experienced injectors provide complimentary consultations to guide you through the Juvéderm® and Restylane® Collections, ensuring you achieve the rejuvenation you desire.

Common Side Effects of Injectable Fillers
While injectable fillers are generally safe and minimally invasive, it’s normal to experience some temporary side effects following treatment. Most reactions are mild and resolve within a few days, but understanding what to expect can help you feel confident and prepared. Proper aftercare and guidance from board-certified dermatologists at Tru-Skin Dermatology minimizes risks and ensures the best results.
Possible side effects may include:
- Temporary swelling at the injection site.
- Mild bruising or discoloration.
- Redness or tenderness around treated areas
- Lumpiness or uneven texture, usually correctable with gentle massage or adjustments.
- Itching or mild rash in some cases.
- Extremely rare allergic reactions.
- Migration or shifting of fillers, which may require professional adjustment.
What to Expect at Your Injectable Fillers Appointment
Your injectable filler appointment at Tru-Skin Dermatology is personalized, efficient, and designed for natural-looking results. It begins with a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals, concerns, and target areas. Based on this, your provider creates a customized treatment plan tailored to your facial anatomy.
Before injections, the treatment area is cleansed, and a topical anesthetic may be applied for comfort. The injections themselves are precise and quick, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort.
Injectable Fillers Maintenance Recommendations
After your initial treatment, it's important to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your provider.
- Regular Follow-Up Appointments: Schedule periodic follow-up appointments with your dermatology provider to assess the longevity of results and determine if touch-up treatments are needed.
- Sun Protection: Protect your skin from UV damage by applying sunscreen regularly, especially to treated areas, to maintain the quality of your skin.
- Healthy Lifestyle: Adopt a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate hydration, to support overall skin health and the longevity of filler results.
- Avoiding Extreme Temperatures: Refrain from exposing treated areas to extreme temperatures, such as intense heat or cold, to minimize the risk of complications.
- Gentle Skincare: Use mild skincare products and avoid harsh exfoliants in the treated areas to prevent irritation and maintain the integrity of the skin.
- Communication with Provider: Communicate openly with your dermatology provider about any changes or concerns, ensuring prompt guidance and adjustments to the treatment plan if needed.
Injectable Fillers Maintenance Schedule
- To maintain the benefits of injectable fillers, scheduling a follow-up appointment a few weeks after the initial treatment is crucial.
- Depending on the filler type, maintenance appointments every six months to a year are typically recommended to assess results, make adjustments, and align enhancements with evolving aesthetic goals. This regular communication with your provider ensures a consistently rejuvenated appearance and optimal, long-lasting results.

Hylacross technology, found in Ultra and Ultra Plus, involves highly crosslinked hyaluronic acid molecules, offering a thicker gel consistency.
