Dermal Filler

A man in a blue checkered shirt and pink gloves administers a cosmetic injection to a woman lying in a dental chair with her eyes closed.

Dermal Filler

We use safe, natural hyaluronic acid fillers—made from a substance already found in the body—to restore volume and soften wrinkles. These fillers are reversible and can be dissolved if needed.

Common treatment areas include:

Lips & lip border
Smile lines (nasolabial folds)
Cheeks, chin & jawline
Tear troughs
Temples
Earlobes & hands

Treatment Details

Procedure time: 45 minutes
Downtime: 3–5 days (swelling/bruising varies and is usually makeup-friendly)
Longevity: ~12 months on average (varies by area, product, and individual factors)

Safety & Side Effects

Common side effects include mild swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness. Rare but serious complications can occur, which is why treatment should only be performed by an experienced injector.

Before Your Appointment

To reduce bruising and swelling, avoid blood thinners, anti-inflammatory medications (such as ibuprofen, aspirin, Aleve, Excedrin), certain vitamins, and alcohol for 3 days prior. Arnica and Bromelain may also help when taken before treatment.

Our Approach

Fillers are used to enhance—not change—your appearance. The goal is a refreshed, natural look that still looks like you.

"Dr. Colby is amazing and very professional. I have been getting botox lip flips with him for the last two years, and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I have loved my results and enjoy returning to the friendly faces in the office."

"I have been going to Dr.Waddell for 4 years now. She is absolutely amazing! I hate needles and injections, I do not even feel anything when I get botox at her office. She has always made me feel comfortable and from my first visit I knew I was going to keep coming to see her!"

Olivia H.
"Today was my very first time going to Palmetto Aesthetic Medicine and I could not be more impressed!! I received botox and the process was so smooth, knowledgeable, and Dr. Colby made sure that I knew everything that was being done."

Marah S.
"Dr Colby is great! I've been coming here since college, and he is always open about what he thinks I need and is very honest about if he thinks it’s too little or too much. Very friendly and welcoming and gives me tips and answers any questions needed. Another thing to note is that this studio allows half syringes. A lot of places around only do full. I live in Charlotte now but still make the drive down to see them!"
