Dermal Fillers services offered in Frederick, MD
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injections that enhance your natural beauty by plumping up lips, filling in acne scars, or smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Frederick Med Spa offers many types of cosmetic injectables, including dermal fillers at their office in Frederick, Maryland.

What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injections that add volume under the skin. Volume loss is the main cause of age-related changes that affect the appearance of your skin.
Loss of collagen and subcutaneous fat affects the structure and look of your skin. Collagen is a protein that keeps your skin strong and resilient, and subcutaneous fat keeps the skin plump and taut. Without enough collagen and fat, your skin thins, loosens, and sags.
Dermal fillers replace your volume loss, which restores a more youthful look. Frederick Med Spa uses the Juvéderm® and Restylane® line of dermal fillers, including Restylane® Kysse. These dermal fillers contain a hyaluronic acid (HA) gel, which is a substance naturally found in your skin that helps retain moisture.
What do dermal fillers treat?
Frederick Med Spa uses dermal fillers, along with other injectables like Botox®, to address many common beauty concerns. Dermal fillers treat:
- Facial lines and creases
- Thin lips
- Depressed acne scars
- Facial asymmetry
- Lower eyelid shadows
Dermal fillers may also subtly enhance your look and provide long-lasting results.
What happens during a dermal fillers session?
Frederick Med Spa customizes your dermal fillers treatment based on your concerns and needs.
When you come in for a dermal fillers session, your practitioner cleans your skin with an antiseptic agent and applies a numbing cream to decrease discomfort during your injections. Next, they carefully and expertly inject the filler into the appropriate spot under your skin, massaging and injecting until they get the right look.
You can expect immediate improvements in your look after your beauty treatment. Dermal fillers last six months or longer*, depending on the type of filler used.
What happens after dermal fillers?
You can resume most of your usual activities after your dermal filler session. However, Frederick Med Spa recommends you skip any strenuous physical activity for 24-48 hours to reduce risk of bruising.
You can expect some redness and swelling following your dermal fillers and possibly some bruising. To reduce risk of side effects, Frederick Med Spa can use a cannula (a thin tube) to deliver your dermal fillers. A cannula causes less damage to the skin, reducing risk of bruising.
Frederick Med Spa schedules a follow-up appointment 2-4 weeks after your dermal fillers to make sure you’re satisfied with your look and to take your “after” pictures.
