Restore. Enhance. Refine.
Restore volume, enhance contours, and create beautifully balanced features with dermal fillers at TELOS Medical Aesthetics in Metairie, La. Our physician-led injectable treatments are designed to restore lost facial volume, soften the appearance of wrinkles and folds, and enhance contours for a refreshed, balanced appearance. Using advanced dermal filler techniques and a personalized approach, we carefully tailor each treatment to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals- creating natural-looking results that complement your features without compromising your individuality.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften certain lines and folds. Many fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps maintain hydration and volume. Depending on the product selected and your individual needs, dermal fillers can replenish areas affected by age-related volume loss, improve facial definition, and enhance specific features with precision.
At TELOS, we believe beautiful results begin with a thoughtful, personalized approach. Rather than simply adding volume, we assess your facial proportions, natural anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to determine where filler may be beneficial—and where it is not needed. The result is a treatment plan designed to complement your features and preserve the character of your face.
Areas We Can Enhance With Dermal Fillers
- Lips: Improve fullness, shape, symmetry, and border definition while respecting your natural lip proportions.
- Cheeks: Restore midface volume and enhance cheek definition for a refreshed appearance.
- Chin: Refine chin projection and improve the balance between the chin and surrounding facial features.
- Jawline: Enhance definition and contour when appropriate for your anatomy.
- Nasolabial Folds: Soften the lines extending from the sides of the nose toward the corners of the mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Address select creases extending downward from the corners of the mouth.
- Facial Volume Loss: Replenish lost fullness in appropriate areas to create a more supported, youthful-looking appearance.
Our Approach: Balance Over Volume
Beautiful Results Begin With Understanding Your Face.
At TELOS Medical Aesthetics, we do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to facial enhancement. Our philosophy centers on understanding the relationship between your features and using precise, conservative techniques to create results that look harmonious rather than overdone.
During your consultation, we evaluate facial structure, volume distribution, proportions, and your individual concerns. We then develop a customized treatment plan that prioritizes balance, facial integrity, and your desired outcome. Our goal is not to change what makes you look like you. It is to enhance your natural features with intention, precision, and care.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the product used, the area treated, your metabolism, and individual factors. Some results may last several months, while others may persist for a year or longer. Areas with greater movement and products designed for different tissue depths may have different longevity.
During your consultation, we will discuss realistic expectations for your recommended filler and whether maintenance treatments may help you maintain your desired results.
Are Dermal Fillers Right for You?
Dermal fillers may be an option if you want to restore lost volume, enhance specific facial features, improve contour, or soften certain lines without undergoing surgery. The best candidates are individuals with realistic expectations who understand both the potential benefits and risks of injectable treatments.
A consultation is essential to determine whether filler is appropriate for your anatomy and goals. Depending on your concerns, another treatment—or a combination of treatments—may offer a more suitable approach.
How do dermal fillers work?
HA dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid to attract and retain moisture in the skin, providing a plumping and smoothing effect. During treatment, the filler is injected with precision into targeted areas, immediately adding volume and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The effects are natural-looking and long-lasting, with results typically lasting 6 to 18 months depending on the product and treatment area.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dermal Fillers
Do dermal fillers look natural?
They can. Natural-looking results depend on appropriate product selection, precise placement, and a treatment plan that respects your facial proportions. At TELOS, we prioritize balance and refinement rather than excessive volume.
Are dermal fillers painful?
Comfort varies by individual and treatment area. Many fillers contain lidocaine, and additional comfort measures may be available. You may experience temporary pressure, tenderness, or discomfort during treatment.
Is there downtime after dermal fillers?
Most patients return to their usual activities shortly after treatment. However, swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness are common temporary effects, and the degree varies by person and injection site.
Can dermal fillers be reversed?
Certain hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase when medically appropriate. Not all filler materials can be reversed this way, and dissolving filler does not eliminate every possible complication.
Can I combine dermal fillers with Botox?
In some cases, yes. Dermal fillers restore volume and enhance contours, while Botox relaxes targeted muscles to soften certain expression lines. These treatments address different concerns and may complement one another when recommended following an individualized assessment.
