Dermal Fillers
Signs of aging are inevitable, but there are ways to treat these concerns, and in some cases, even prevent them.
Dermal fillers can rejuvenate your facial features by smoothing and plumping away imperfections.
Dr. William Baugh in Fullerton, CA, provides non-surgical treatment for wrinkles, asymmetry, and more while staying within your budget.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin that gives us a plump and youthful appearance. Dermal filler injections are a cosmetic treatment that replace this lost volume. Dr. Baugh can use fillers to rejuvenate your face in many ways, which includes:

My family has gone to Dr Baugh for years. He is calming and done major surgery for melanoma on my husband and major basal cell on my face. The scar on my face is minimal for how deep it was

My daughter was treated by Dr Baugh and we were both so grateful for the detailed information he gave us. She had seen other dermatologists and Dr Baugh was the first to prescribe treatment that cleared her skin very quickly.

Our Fullerton, CA, office offers three different kinds of non-surgical dermal fillers.
JUVÉDERM
These injections replace hyaluronic acid, a substance that naturally occurs in your skin to keep it plump and hydrated. These fillers last about 6 to 18 months and your body will absorb them naturally over time.
If you receive this treatment at our Fullerton, CA, office, Dr. Baugh will gently inject a small amount of JUVÉDERM® into the affected areas with a fine needle.
JUVÉDERM is a fast solution for treating smile lines, marionette lines, and small wrinkles around your lips.
Restylane
This hyaluronic acid-based filler can target areas all over your face. Restylane® treats moderate to severe wrinkles around the nose and mouth, restores facial balance, and more. It can also be used for lip enhancement in patients who are over the age of 21.
Restylane fillers can last about a year, but a touch-up may be recommended at about six to nine months.
Restylane products are formulated specifically to allow a full range of natural facial expressions after treatment.
Radiesse
Radiesse® is a popular dermal filler that can reduce wrinkles, fill scars, and restore lost volume. The treatment can be completed in as little as 15 minutes, and is cost-effective because it can last up to 15 months.
Before you leave our office, Dr. Baugh will review your results. If you're not completely satisfied, he can inject more Radiesse gel until the desired effect is achieved.
As the Radiesse gel is absorbed by your body, it stimulates your body's natural production of collagen, leading to long-lasting results.
Side Effects & Aftercare
Following your treatment for any type of injectable, you can cover any mild bruising with makeup and treat swelling with a cool compress and over-the-counter pain medication.
Caring for Your Skin Between Dermal Filler Appointments
The effects of dermal fillers subside over the course of several months, but there are some things you can do to care for your skin in the meantime to prolong the effects and minimize the development of signs of aging:
Eat a Healthy Diet
A nutrient-rich diet and plenty of water can keep your skin healthy and clear. We recommend eating foods like nuts, green vegetables, and fish to target concerns like acne and dullness.
Follow a Skincare Routine
A skincare routine created specifically for your skin type and concerns can help minimize your cosmetic flaws. For example, products like hyaluronic acid and moisturizers can treat imperfections and protect your skin barrier.
Limit Exposure to Sunlight
Ultraviolet rays can break down collagen and elastin, causing premature aging. We recommend using sunscreen daily and wearing protective clothing when going outside for extended periods.
Once the effects of your dermal fillers have faded, you can request another appointment with Dr. Baugh in Fullerton, CA, to receive touch-up treatments.
Is BOTOX Cosmetic a Filler?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a type of injectable treatment, but it is not a filler. Instead of plumping the skin, BOTOX injections immobilize underlying muscles to relax creases, fine lines, and wrinkles. Just one treatment of BOTOX Cosmetic can result in a more youthful appearance and prevent new wrinkles from forming.
Dr. Baugh takes special care to weaken your muscles without greatly impacting your ability to make facial expressions. The amount of BOTOX Cosmetic he uses will simply prevent your muscles from contracting involuntarily.
These injections may result in some mild bruising, but it can be covered with makeup.
Complement Your Results
Though dermal fillers can offer you a variety of benefits, you may wish to address additional cosmetic concerns or enhance your dermal filler treatment. Fortunately, you don't need plastic surgery to accomplish this. Our Fullerton, CA, office offers many cosmetic dermatology services for more comprehensive results. Your filler treatment may be combined with services such as:
Acne Treatment
Though hyaluronic acid-based fillers can plump depressed acne scars, we can also treat the root of the problem and help patients avoid acne altogether. We offer topical and oral acne medication to keep your oil production under control and your skin free from bacteria. Our aestheticians can also help create a skincare routine that targets your concerns and works with your skin type.
Microdermabrasion
This minimally invasive procedure exfoliates the outermost layer of skin to improve skin tone and texture. It can reduce the appearance of concerns like wrinkles, acne scarring, and sun spots. Side effects include redness, flakiness, and mild tenderness. Many patients choose to undergo microdermabrasion several days before or after receiving fillers.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Laser skin resurfacing removes the outermost layer of skin, allowing new skin cells to form. This results in a younger, healthier, and more supple appearance. The procedure can target signs of aging on the face, chest, back of the hands, and other areas of the body. It can be performed about two weeks before receiving fillers.
