Injections By An Expert Physician
Our NYC patients appreciate our expertise in delivering natural results with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers are a highly effective and popular option for restoring youthful volume and contour to the face, helping to smooth wrinkles and enhance natural facial features. These fillers work by replenishing the skin's lost collagen and hyaluronic acid, adding volume to areas affected by aging or skin laxity. Common treatment areas include smile lines, marionette lines, and cheeks, delivering a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance without the need for invasive procedures.

Dermal Fillers in New York City
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are non-surgical, injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. These fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that hydrates and adds volume to the skin. Common treatment areas include smile lines, cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows, providing a refreshed, youthful appearance with natural-looking results.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers work by adding volume beneath the skin’s surface, filling in wrinkles and lines and enhancing contours where volume has been lost over time. The hyaluronic acid in fillers attracts and retains moisture, providing a plumping effect that rejuvenates the skin. This approach creates a smooth, supple appearance that complements the face’s natural structure and expressions.
What to Expect During Filler Injections
During your consultation, Dr. Akhavan will evaluate your facial structure and aesthetic goals to develop a custom treatment plan. Precision and expertise are at the forefront of each procedure, with meticulous mapping to ensure that all enhancements appear natural and balanced. Our team prioritizes patient comfort, using fine needles and advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and ensure a gentle experience.
What to Expect After Filler Treatments
Following your filler treatment, you can typically return to most regular activities right away, with guidance to avoid strenuous exercise or facial massages for the rest of the day. Results from fillers are often noticeable immediately, with optimal effects developing over a few days as the product settles, leaving you with a beautifully refreshed look.

At The Dermatology and Laser Group, all procedures are administered by Dr. Akhavan, a board-certified dermatologist with extensive experience in fillers.
