Eradicate the signs of aging and reveal a more youthful you at Cosmetic Laser Centers℠ today!
Dermal fillers have gained notable popularity for their versatility and ability to immediately create a more youthful appearance. From reversing signs of volume loss to improving the contour of facial features, there is a dermal filler formulation for most non-surgical aesthetic concerns. Two of the leading brands in the industry are Juvéderm® and Restylane®, each of which appear very similar on the surface, but come in several subtypes to suit a variety of procedures. If you find yourself wondering which dermal filler in Pittsburgh to choose, our answer is simple – the best option for you is the one that works for your skin and aesthetic goals.
Learn more about dermal fillers and the differences between Juvéderm® and Restylane® below.
What are dermal fillers?
The body’s ability to produce collagen and elastin in the skin continuously lessens as we age. Over time, our bodies also lose volume, fat, and bone mass with age. Many dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm®, Restylane® and Sculptra®, are made of the same substances found naturally in the body. Hyaluronic acid is a key active ingredient found in both formulations, making them a safe and effective treatment option. By adding subtle volume just beneath the skin to lift and smooth targeted areas, the results are immediately visible and can improve over time.
Benefits of dermal fillers
Given the versatility of dermal fillers, patients can achieve notable results without the cost and potential risks often associated with plastic surgery. Dermal filler appointments are typically quick and relatively painless given the incorporation of lidocaine, and there is little to no down time required post-treatment, making them extremely convenient as well.
Some of the benefits of dermal fillers include:
- Softening of facial lines, creases, and wrinkles
- Augmentation of shallow contours
- Reconstruction of contour deformities
- Increasing volume of thin lips
- Improve the appearance of atrophic scarring
- Decrease the appearance of undereye bags
- Restore facial symmetry associated with volume loss

Results
Depending on the formulation selected and your desired outcome, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary to achieve your dream looks.

Results are visible immediately, but it typically takes around four weeks for the filler to fully integrate with your body tissue, revealing optimal results.
