You’re doing all the right things: the skincare, the sunscreen, the water bottle that goes everywhere with you, even investing in quality products and keeping up your routine. But recently, it feels like that routine doesn’t go quite as far as it did in the beginning (if it ever worked at all). Maybe your cheeks seem less full than they used to, or you’ve started noticing fine lines that stick around longer than expected. Time is starting to set into your skin.
These early signs of aging aren’t drastic, but they’re enough to make you wonder what else you can do to keep your skin feeling fresh, polished, and balanced. For many people, this is the point where dermal fillers become part of the conversation.
Dermal fillers are non-invasive treatments that work beneath the skin’s surface to restore facial volume, soften fine lines, and enhance facial contours, giving your skin the extra support it needs. Most fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring gel that keeps the skin smooth, hydrated, and firm. They’re often used to address nasolabial folds, facial hollows, marionette lines, and other subtle shifts that come with aging, without the need for surgery or significant downtime.
At Dr. Joseph A. Russo’s boutique-style clinic for medical aesthetics in Newton, we take a thoughtful, detail-driven approach to aesthetic treatments. Every treatment plan is personalized to your anatomy and pace, and our priority is always on natural-looking results. With a deeply committed team, a welcoming environment, and a focus on refined care, we help patients across the Greater Boston area feel like the best version of themselves.
Fillers do more than improve appearance, they help patients feel more like themselves. Restore volume, enhance facial contours, or maintain a youthful appearance with this non-invasive option that can create real, noticeable changes without the downtime of surgery.
Though the face is the most common treatment area, dermal fillers can also improve other parts of the body. We often treat the cheeks, under-eye hollows, jawline, lips, and chin, but patients also come to us for hand rejuvenation or to correct scars and volume loss in other areas.
Because we offer a wide range of medical aesthetics and non-invasive options, including Botox, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and body contouring, we can also build combination treatments that address your full set of concerns.
If you have wrinkles and/or hollow areas in your face that you would like to correct in order to reduce signs of aging, come in for a consultation with one of our nurse injectors.
He will review your medical history and conduct an exam in order to recommend the best types of treatments for you and your individual needs. Ideal candidates for dermal fillers should be nonsmokers in good health with either wrinkles or lines on their face.
Nasolabial Folds
These are the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Fillers help smooth them for a more youthful, even look.
Marionette Lines
Located below the corners of the mouth, these lines can make the face look downturned. Treating this area helps lift and brighten the lower face.
Under-Eye Hollows
Fillers placed in the tear trough area can reduce shadows and restore a more awake, refreshed look.
Cheek Volume Loss
As we age, the mid-face can flatten. Cheek filler adds structure and lifts the face subtly, improving overall facial contours.
Thin or Uneven Lips
Lip injections can add balance and shape to your lips while maintaining a soft, natural feel.
Jawline and Chin Definition
Fillers add subtle structure to help sharpen the facial features and balance out the lower face, especially useful in non-surgical body contouring treatments.
Your experience starts with a personal consultation in our Newton office. We take time to understand your goals, review your medical history, and explain your options clearly. Our team of knowledgeable staff will create a treatment plan that matches your needs, no pressure, no rushed decisions.
Before treatment, we may ask you to avoid alcohol, smoking, and certain medications to reduce the risk of bruising. If you have a history of cold sores and are planning lip injections, let us know in advance so we can take precautions.
Filler appointments typically take under an hour. We start by cleaning the injection site, then apply a numbing cream for comfort. Many of the products we use already include lidocaine to make the process easier.
Using small, precise injections, your provider places the filler based on your treatment plan. We’ll check in as we go to make sure everything looks right and feels comfortable.
This cutting-edge treatment offers immediate results with little to no downtime.
Most people notice a significant improvement right away. Some redness, swelling, or minor bruising at the injection site is common, but it fades within a few days.
We’ll share simple aftercare tips, like avoiding heavy workouts, hot environments, or touching the treated area for a short time. You’ll be able to return to most normal activities right after your appointment.
Depending on the product and treatment area, your results can last anywhere from six to 18 months. We offer touch-up treatments to help you maintain those natural results and enjoy enduring results over time.
The cost of dermal fillers in Newton depends on the type of filler, the area treated, and the number of syringes used. We’ll give you clear pricing during your consultation, along with recommendations based on your specific needs.
Prices may vary depending on the experience of the injector, the time spent, and what’s included in the appointment. We focus on providing long-term value with high-quality care and natural-looking results.
