As we age, it’s completely normal to notice changes in the face — loss of volume, sagging skin, or deeper wrinkles that weren’t there before. These changes happen gradually but can suddenly make us feel less like ourselves. Fortunately, modern aesthetic treatments like dermal fillers offer a safe and effective way to restore what time has taken away.
At Aesthetics at WomanCare MedSpa, we use advanced dermal filler techniques to bring back youthful contours and create a refreshed, natural appearance. Our skilled providers combine medical expertise with an artistic touch, helping clients across Arlington Heights, Palatine, Buffalo Grove, Schaumburg, Mount Prospect, and surrounding areas achieve results that look beautifully balanced and never overdone.
Understanding What Dermal Fillers Do
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume beneath the skin. Over time, our bodies produce less collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid — the building blocks that keep skin firm, hydrated, and resilient. When these naturally decline, the face can appear hollow, tired, or saggy.
Fillers work by replacing or enhancing that lost structure. Most fillers, such as those containing hyaluronic acid, attract and retain moisture, plumping up the treated area and smoothing lines from within. This creates a more youthful, lifted look almost instantly.
At Aesthetics at WomanCare, we use a range of high-quality fillers to target different concerns — from subtle lip enhancement to cheek contouring and jawline definition. Each formula is carefully chosen for its texture, longevity, and how naturally it integrates with your skin.
Common Areas Treated with Fillers
Dermal fillers are incredibly versatile and can be used in many areas of the face to enhance or restore volume. Some of the most popular treatment areas include:
-
Cheeks – to lift and restore midface volume
-
Lips – to enhance shape, symmetry, and fullness
-
Nasolabial folds – to smooth smile lines that deepen over time
-
Marionette lines – to soften lines running from the mouth to the chin
-
Chin and jawline – to improve definition and balance facial proportions
-
Under eyes – to reduce hollowness or dark circles (with proper product selection)
Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or noticeable rejuvenation, dermal fillers can be customized to match your aesthetic goals. At Aesthetics at WomanCare, our providers take a detailed, personalized approach, ensuring your enhancements complement your natural beauty rather than change it.
The Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Fillers are one of the most sought-after aesthetic treatments for good reason. They provide immediate, noticeable improvement with minimal downtime, making them a convenient option for clients with busy schedules.
Here are a few of the main benefits:
-
Instant results you can see right after your appointment
-
Non-surgical treatment with little to no recovery time
-
Long-lasting effects, typically 6 to 18 months depending on the product used
-
Natural-looking rejuvenation when administered by an experienced injector
-
Boosted confidence from looking more refreshed and youthful
Our medspa focuses on creating results that enhance your facial harmony. Rather than overfilling, we aim for subtle, balanced changes that make you look rested and revitalized.
What to Expect During Your Filler Appointment
If you’re new to fillers, you may wonder what the experience is like. At Aesthetics at WomanCare MedSpa, we make the process comfortable and informative every step of the way.
Your appointment begins with a consultation, where your provider will discuss your goals, evaluate your facial anatomy, and determine the best filler types and placement for you. Together, you’ll create a treatment plan that aligns with your desired look.
During the procedure, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream applied to ensure comfort. The injections themselves are quick and precise, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes depending on the areas treated. Many fillers also contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, to further reduce any discomfort.
After the treatment, you might notice slight swelling, redness, or tenderness in the injected areas. These effects are temporary and generally resolve within a few days. Most clients return to normal activities right after their appointment, with little interruption to their day.
Your Results and How Long They Last
One of the most exciting aspects of dermal fillers is that the results are visible almost immediately. You’ll notice smoother contours and a more youthful appearance right away, though the final look settles in as any minor swelling fades.
How long your results last depends on the type of filler used, where it was placed, and your body’s metabolism. In general, hyaluronic acid fillers last around 6 to 12 months, while other types, like those stimulating collagen production, may last up to two years.
Regular maintenance appointments can help keep your look consistent. Many of our clients choose to schedule touch-ups every 9 to 12 months to preserve their results. Our team will help you plan a personalized maintenance schedule based on your goals and treatment areas.
Combining Fillers with Other Treatments
While fillers do a fantastic job of restoring lost volume, they can also be combined with other treatments for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
For example, neuromodulators like Botox® or Dysport® can smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, while fillers restore structure and volume. Pairing these together can create an overall softer, refreshed appearance that looks completely natural.
Skin treatments such as microneedling, facials, or laser therapies can also complement filler results by improving skin tone and texture. At Aesthetics at WomanCare, we often design combination plans that address both surface and structural concerns for balanced, long-term results.
How to Prepare and Care for Your Filler Treatment
Preparation is simple but can make a difference in your experience. We typically recommend avoiding alcohol, aspirin, or certain supplements for a few days before your appointment, as these can increase the risk of bruising. Staying well hydrated and coming in with clean skin also helps ensure optimal results.
After treatment, we advise avoiding intense exercise, heat exposure, or facial massages for the first 24 to 48 hours. Applying ice packs as needed and sleeping slightly elevated can minimize swelling. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions from your provider to make the recovery process smooth and stress-free.
Following these steps helps your filler settle beautifully and ensures you get the most out of your treatment.
