Dermal fillers have revolutionized the world of non-surgical cosmetic treatments, offering a versatile solution for enhancing facial features, restoring volume, and combating the signs of aging. At BYou Laser Clinic in New York City, Brooklyn, and Oceanside, we offer a wide range of dermal fillers tailored to meet your unique aesthetic goals. Whether you’re looking to plump your lips, define your jawline, or smooth out wrinkles, choosing the right filler is key to achieving the best results.
Understanding Dermal Fillers: What Are They?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from various substances designed to add volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Unlike Botox, which relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles, fillers work by filling in areas of lost volume or enhancing specific facial features. The most common type of dermal fillers is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that provides hydration and elasticity to the skin.
Types of Dermal Fillers Available at BYou Laser Clinic
At BYou Laser Clinic, we offer a variety of dermal fillers, each with specific properties suited to different areas of the face and desired outcomes. Here’s a breakdown of the most popular fillers we provide:

How to Choose the Right Filler for Your Needs
Selecting the right filler depends on several factors, including your aesthetic goals, the area being treated, and your skin type. Here’s a guide to help you make an informed decision:
1. Identify Your Goals
- Wrinkle Reduction: If your primary concern is reducing wrinkles and fine lines, hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane are excellent choices. These fillers are particularly effective for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and crow’s feet.
- Volume Enhancement: For those looking to restore lost volume in the cheeks or temples, Sculptra or Radiesse might be the better option. These fillers provide a subtle lift and stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results.
- Facial Contouring: If you want to enhance your facial contours, such as defining your jawline or adding structure to your cheekbones, consider Radiesse or Juvederm Voluma. These fillers are designed to add structure and definition to the face.
2. Consider the Area Being Treated
- Lips: For lip enhancement, soft hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm Ultra or Restylane Silk are ideal. They provide a natural, plump appearance without the risk of overfilling.
- Cheeks: If you’re looking to add volume to the cheeks, Juvederm Voluma or Radiesse are great options. These fillers are thicker and can provide a more substantial lift.
- Under-Eyes: For hollow under-eye areas, a lighter filler like Restylane-L is often recommended. This filler is specifically formulated for delicate skin and offers subtle, natural-looking results.
3. Duration of Results
- Short-Term Results: If you’re new to fillers or looking for a temporary enhancement, hyaluronic acid fillers are ideal as they typically last 6-12 months.
- Long-Term Results: For clients seeking longer-lasting results, Radiesse and Sculptra can last up to two years, while Bellafill offers results that can last up to five years.

Combining Fillers with Other Treatments
To enhance the results of your dermal filler treatment, you may consider combining fillers with other aesthetic procedures:
- Botox: Pairing fillers with Botox can address both dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement) and static wrinkles (caused by volume loss).
- Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments can improve skin texture and tone, complementing the volumizing effects of fillers.
- Chemical Peels: Exfoliating treatments like chemical peels can rejuvenate the skin, creating a smoother, more radiant complexion.
