Dermal Fillers in Portland

Replace Lost Collagen and
Hyaluronic Acid With
Juvederm^® and More

Model

The smooth texture and rounded contours of a youthful face are due to healthy levels of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin, well-distributed facial fat, plenty of elastin, and other elements. Faces take on an aged appearance as collagen and elastin concentrations are depleted, leading to less elastic skin and the formation of wrinkles. Collagen and fat loss can also cause the structure of the face to change, deflating full areas and leading to sagging lower down. While surgery is one solution, patients seeking a nonsurgical option can find it in dermal fillers at Portland's Waldorf Center for Plastic Surgery.

There are several types of dermal fillers available, with each one offering unique benefits. All are made from elements that add volume where injected for a temporary improvement, and then are safely processed by the body. The duration of the effects depends on the specific dermal filler chosen, as well as the skill and technique of the injector.

Your Consultation For Dermal Fillers

No matter who you choose to administer your dermal fillers, you will have a consultation that will allow you to ask any questions you have about the injectable, the process, and the results. The consultation will also allow your injector to examine your face and determine which of the available dermal fillers would be best to treat your wrinkles or other signs of aging. Be sure to explain the desired end result, so your injector can assess your face as it is now and develop a plan to address the issues you want addressed.

Types of Dermal Fillers

The Waldorf Center offers dermal fillers in the Juvederm^® line, all based on hyaluronic acid and used for years to soften facial lines and restore youthful contours. Within the family of fillers, there are several different formulations, with each injectable offering unique abilities to address specific cosmetic concerns.

Juvederm^® XC

One of the most well-known dermal fillers, Juvederm^® XC is intended for temporarily smoothing out moderate to severe facial lines, especially nasolabial folds.

Juvederm Voluma^®

This hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler is formulated for adding volume to the apple of the cheeks, rounding out hollow or sunken areas, and lifting sagging tissue that causes drooping lower on the face. Learn more about Voluma^® here.

Juvederm Volbella^®

Designed for filling in delicate lines around the mouth and adding minor enhancements to the lips, this is the thinnest, lightest, and most easily spreadable hyaluronic acid-derived filler in the Juvederm^® family. Learn more about Volbella^® here.

Juvederm Vollure^™

This filler addresses moderate to severe static facial wrinkles, especially those in the middle and lower face. It is ideal for nasolabial folds. While less durable than other options, it is more malleable. This allows it to produce natural-looking results. Learn more about Vollure^™ here.

Recovering from Dermal Fillers

Every dermal filler has its own specific aftercare instructions, but because the injectables are nonsurgical, they all offer patients results with no down time to speak of.

What Do Dermal Fillers Cost in Portland?

Cost can be discussed at the consultation, when the specific dermal filler and how much of it to be used will be determined based on each patient's skin, facial structure, and goals.

What Treatments Complement Dermal Fillers at The Waldorf Center?

Since dermal fillers add volume, they work best on static wrinkles, which develop as collagen and hyaluronic acid diminish. Dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle movements, can be temporarily smoothed by BOTOX^® Cosmetic or Jeuveau^™, which relax the muscles and reduce the appearance of the lines—primarily forehead lines and crow's feet.*

Patients seeking results that will last longer than several months to two years, depending on the dermal filler, may want to explore the results possible with a brow lift or eyelid surgery, which can be performed separately or together to change upper facial contours.
