Injectable Dermal Fillers
As you age, it’s not just about lines and wrinkles. Your cheeks and other facial areas can lose volume, and skin may begin to sag and create noticeable depressions. Juvederm Voluma© XC is the first and only FDA-approved injectable gel to instantly add volume to your cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over the age of 21. It can provide contour and a subtle lift for up to two years with optimal treatment.
Juvederm® gel is a hyaluronic acid dermal filler indicated for the correction of moderate to severe lines along the sides of the nose and mouth (such as nasolabial folds or smile lines). The substance that helps keep your skin structure together and skin moisture intact is called hyaluronic acid. This is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies.
The Science Behind Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
The hyaluronic acid in the dermal filler formulas attracts and binds water to plump and restore facial volume, increase hydration, and smooth wrinkles quickly and easily. The hyaluronic acid in these formulas is designed to not break down and provide long-lasting results.

Understanding Injectable Fillers: Types and Benefits
Juvederm and RHA are the types of fillers used at Straith Clinic. They contain hyaluronic acid to restore volume and smooth facial wrinkles and have lidocaine to decrease discomfort during the procedure. Dr. Sabbagh, Dr. Baca, or our Nurse Injector, Ruth will determine which filler is right for you.
The benefits of these hyaluronic acid soft tissue fillers include wrinkle smoothing, hydration, smoothing uneven skin texture, and enhancing facial contours. These dermal filler injections also offer long-lasting results, provide immediate results, and stimulate collagen production for truly amazing outcomes.
Customized Treatment Plans for Natural-Looking Results
No matter what facial fillers are injected in your targeted areas, with the expertise of our team at Straith Clinic, we’ll ensure you receive outstanding, natural-looking results. Based on your concerns and aesthetic goals, we’ll customize a treatment plan to ensure all your needs are met.
Who is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
People with deeper wrinkles, thin lips, upper lip lines, depressed acne scars, sagging skin, volume loss in the mid face, and marionette lines are great candidates for dermal filler procedures. Many HA fillers contain lidocaine, so if you have a history of allergic reactions, you may not be a good candidate. Our plastic surgery experts will review your medical history to ensure it’s safe to inject dermal fillers.
Dermal fillers are often combined with Botox and other treatments to more comprehensively address concerns like frown lines that don’t often respond to filler injections. For a more permanent option, Dr. Sabbagh and Dr. Baca may recommend facial fat grafting.

Combining Fillers with Other Aesthetic Treatments
Dermal fillers are often combined with Botox and other treatments to more comprehensively address concerns like frown lines that don’t often respond to filler injections. For a more permanent option, Dr. Sabbagh and Dr. Baca may recommend facial fat grafting. Dermal fillers can also be combined with any of our cosmetic surgeries, including facelifts, brow lifts, rhinoplasty, and more.
Aftercare and Maintenance: Prolonging Your Filler Results
Results may last a few months up to one year. Results vary.
After your injections, you’ll want to avoid strenuous activity and touching or putting pressure on your injection sites. You should also be gentle on your skin.
To maintain your results, you’ll want to limit your exposure to the sun, use sunscreen daily, and use a quality skincare regimen. You’ll also want to stay hydrated, eat a healthy diet, de-stress, avoid smoking, and limit your alcohol consumption.
Common Concerns: Addressing Filler Myths and Facts
There are many myths surrounding dermal fillers (and most aesthetic treatments, if we’re being honest). One of the most popular myths is that dermal filler injections will hurt. This is not necessarily true. We can administer topical anesthetic before your injections to ensure your comfort. On top of that, many dermal fillers contain lidocaine.
Another myth is that dermal fillers only treat deeper wrinkles. That couldn’t be further from the truth. While dermal fillers can address deep wrinkles, they can also help you contour your facial appearance and restore volume quickly and easily.
Another very common myth is that dermal fillers will make you look frozen or overdone. With our team at Straith Clinic, you never have to worry about looking overdone. As for a frozen appearance, fillers don’t freeze your facial muscles, so you will be able to make any and all facial expressions
