Dermal Fillers
Facial aging can mean more than wrinkles. Loss of fat, bone, and skin elasticity can all result in the development of creases, hollows, and changing facial contours. Using dermal fillers specifically designed to address different treatment areas, Dr. Pierzchajlo takes a comprehensive approach to restoring your youthful appearance. His expertise using dermal fillers, including Restylane®, attracts patients from areas such as Albany, Cordele, Valdosta, Moultrie, and Douglas, Georgia, to our Tifton medical spa.
Should I Get Fillers or Dysport®?
Fillers are gels of varying consistencies that add volume to create more youthful contours for areas like the cheeks, chin, jaw, and lips. The fillers available today are more specialized than ever and, in the hands of someone with the expertise of Dr. Pierzchajlo, create results that look extremely natural. They differ from neuromodulators such as Dysport or BOTOX® Cosmetic, which minimize “dynamic” wrinkles such as crow’s feet or worry lines by temporarily immobilizing muscles in the treatment area.
On the other hand, fillers add volume anywhere it’s needed to minimize creases, fill hollows, and enhance facial contours. Even though they’re temporary, fillers can last from 9 months to 2 years, depending on the specific type used. Fillers such as BELOTERO® BALANCE and Restylane® are made with hyaluronic acid (HA), a natural substance found in the skin that helps it retain moisture and gives it youthful firmness. Virtually all fillers now come pre-mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps patients remain comfortable during their treatments.

Dr. Pierzchajlo’s Unique Approach
Dr. Pierzchajlo believes nonsurgical facial rejuvenation begins with lifting areas where volume loss has caused lines, sagging, and depressions. This approach “lifts the frame” of the face, creating a foundation for a more youthful look. It is followed by focusing on the eyes, lips, and other smaller areas for further refinement.
Using various fillers as tools to accomplish the desired results, Dr. Pierzchajlo combines volumizing fillers with special-use fillers during a single treatment session. He may also recommend combining Dysport or BOTOX with fillers for total facial rejuvenation.

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
What Are Volumizing Fillers?
Volumizing fillers replenish collagen in the skin and underlying structures, helping the skin retain hyaluronic acid and elastin—essential building blocks of hydrated, healthy skin. Products categorized as volumizing fillers include Restylane® Lyft, Sculptra® Aesthetic, and RADIESSE®.
Restylane Lyft
Like other Restylane fillers, Lyft is formulated using hyaluronic acid but has a larger molecular structure, so it’s more effective in treating deeper lines and volume loss. The added fullness reduces moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds).
Restylane® Contour
Losing volume and definition in the cheeks is one of the most prominent signs of aging. The hollowed-out look can add several years to your appearance. Restylane Contour is the only cheek filler approved by the FDA that uses XpresHAn Technology™, lifting the cheeks in a way that appears softer and more natural. It’s an excellent option for younger patients who want to avoid the firmness created by earlier generations of fillers. The more flexible Contour filler gel moves dynamically as you change expressions, creating natural-looking results.
Sculptra Aesthetic
Unlike most fillers, which are formulated using hyaluronic acid (HA), Sculptra’s active ingredient is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), made using the same type of lactic acid that the body naturally produces. It’s sometimes referred to as a “liquid facelift” because it stimulates the production of new collagen and creates a lifted appearance in the cheeks and other areas. It’s injected deeper into the dermis than most fillers, and the results occur gradually as new collagen is produced to support the skin’s structure. Dr. Pierzchajlo recommends an initial series of Sculptra treatments, scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart, which can create results that last up to 2 years.
RADIESSE
Dr. Pierzchajlo uses RADIESSE to treat lost volume in the temples, cheeks, and areas such as nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. RADIESSE is made with a synthetic form of calcium hydroxylapatite, a substance that’s found naturally in the body, suspended in a gel carrier. It also promotes collagen production to help increase the skin’s elasticity.
A Reputation Built on Results
What Are Special-Use Fillers?
When first introduced, most fillers were workhorses used to address numerous facial aging concerns. That’s no longer the case, with the development of fillers formulated to address specific areas and conditions. Special-use fillers include Restylane® Silk and BELOTERO® BALANCE.
Restylane Silk
Restylane Silk is the first FDA-approved filler specifically designed to enhance lips and smooth wrinkles and fine lines around the mouth. It uses smaller, softer hyaluronic acid particles than other Restylane products to create subtle, more natural-looking results. That is especially important for lip augmentation to avoid the overdone look that can occur with injectors who don’t have Dr. Pierzchajlo’s expertise.
Restylane® Kysse™
Kysse is the first filler developed specifically for lip augmentation using XpresHAn Technology. The technology helps to create an extremely smooth gel that moves naturally as the lips move.
Restylane® Defyne & Refyne
We use these fillers for areas of more movement, such as the vertical lip lines and nasolabial folds (“smile lines”). They also use XpresHAn Technology, so the smooth gel seamlessly integrates into the skin.
BELOTERO BALANCE®
Sometimes referred to as a “starter filler,” BELOTERO is a thinner and lighter gel than Restylane fillers. It’s an excellent choice for patients concerned about fine lines and other early signs of facial aging. It is made using hyaluronic acid and is injected higher up in the skin than other fillers, combining with natural tissue to create subtle results.
Combining Dermal Fillers With Other Treatments
Some people looking for overall facial rejuvenation may benefit from combining fillers with other services, such as:
- BOTOX or Dysport injections to smooth away dynamic wrinkles, lift the brows, and brighten the eye area.
- Silhouette InstaLift® to help restore lost facial volume and definition along the jawline.
- Laser skin resurfacing, VirtueRF microneedling, and chemical peels to soften wrinkles and firm the skin.
We will create a personalized treatment plan to help you attain a refreshed and more youthful appearance that includes one or more of these treatments.
Lip Fillers
Lip enhancement with dermal filler injections is popular with the people who visit us from throughout Georgia because results are instant, and no downtime is needed. We use options specifically formulated for the lips like Restylane Silk and Kysse to provide a variety of improvements, including:
- Plumping up lips that are naturally thin or have thinned with age
- Adding definition to lip borders
- Balancing the proportions of the top and bottom lips
- Smoothing away vertical lines around the lips
How To Prepare for Lip Injections
For optimal results, take the following preparations for your treatment:
- Do not take high doses of vitamin E and blood-thinning or anti-inflammatory medications (including St. John’s Wort) for at least a week prior to your appointment.
- Avoid alcohol 24 hours before your appointment.
- Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated. It helps the filler integrate with your lips.
- Make sure your lips and face are clean and free from makeup when you arrive for your appointment.
What To Avoid After a Lip Filler Appointment
Post-treatment instructions may include the following:
- Keep your head elevated as much as possible (sleep with extra pillows) to minimize swelling.
- Quit smoking (or at least take a break). Drawing on a cigarette can impact lip shape, and nicotine interferes with healing.
- Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
- Limit salt consumption to prevent water retention.
- Hold off on strenuous exercise.
- Stay out of hot showers, saunas, direct sun, and other excessive heat to minimize swelling.
- Do not use drinking straws to limit pressure on the lips.
- Wait to apply lip products (lipstick, lip gloss, balm) to avoid infection.
How Long Do Lip Fillers Last?
Results last up to 12 months, depending on the filler and individual patient factors. Regular maintenance treatments can keep your lips looking beautiful indefinitely.
Lip Fillers vs BOTOX Lip Flip
When considering lip enhancement, it’s essential to understand the differences between lip fillers and a BOTOX lip flip. Lip fillers involve injecting fillers such as Restylane to add volume and enhance shape, providing immediate results that can last up to a year. In contrast, the BOTOX lip flip uses small amounts of BOTOX to relax the muscles around the upper lip, causing it to roll upward for a subtle enhancement without added volume. This approach is ideal for those seeking a natural look that lasts about 3 to 4 months.
Your choice between these options typically depends on whether you desire significant volume or a modest lift, as well as your preferences for longevity and maintenance.
Dermal Fillers FAQ
How long is recovery from dermal fillers?
No downtime is needed after dermal filler injections; however, you should avoid touching injected areas, strenuous exercise, and sun exposure for at least the first 24 hours. Minor side effects are temporary and commonly include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, itching, and bruising at the injection sites.
What is the most natural looking lip filler?
The best dermal filler for lip injections usually depends on individual goals and preferences. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Restylane are popular choices due to their unique formulations, natural-looking results, and excellent safety profile.
How painful are lip fillers?
Lip fillers can cause some discomfort, often described as a minor stinging or pinching sensation. However, most patients rate the pain as mild, and numbing creams are typically used to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Are dermal fillers better than BOTOX?
Dermal fillers and BOTOX serve different purposes, so one isn’t necessarily better than the other. Fillers add volume and smooth static wrinkles, while BOTOX relaxes muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles. The choice depends on your specific aesthetic goals.
Can tear trough filler really help with under eye hollows and dark circles?
Yes, tear trough fillers can effectively reduce the appearance of under eye hollows and dark circles by adding volume to the area, creating a smoother transition between the lower eyelid and cheek.
Do some fillers really help build collagen?
Yes, certain fillers like Sculptra and RADIESSE stimulate collagen production over time, helping to improve skin texture and elasticity in addition to adding volume.
Choosing an injector with Dr. Pierzchajlo’s experience and expertise provides patients with the confidence that he will recommend the fillers that will best work for their concerns. That’s one of the reasons women and men considering dermal fillers travel from throughout South Georgia to Solé Medical Spa for their treatments.
