What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume where the face has naturally lost it over time. As we age, we often lose collagen, fat, and hyaluronic acid in the face, leading to flatter cheeks, thinner lips, and features that look older or more hollow than they used to. Dermal fillers replenish that lost volume to soften signs of aging, enhance facial features, and create natural-looking definition while maintaining your unique appearance. At Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics, we use trusted hyaluronic acid fillers from leading brands, including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Revanesse®. From creating fuller, poutier lips to smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, each treatment is designed to deliver lasting results that complement your facial structure and aesthetic goals. Discover the benefits of dermal fillers and find out which formula is right for you by scheduling a consultation with our cosmetic injectors in Orland Park or Frankfort, IL today.
How Are Dermal Filler Injections Performed?
Before your injection procedure, a member of our team will meet with you to learn more about the areas you want to treat and the results you're hoping to achieve to determine which product is best suited for your needs. Once you're ready, we'll cleanse the injection sites and administer your chosen dermal filler using a fine needle or blunt-tipped cannula, sculpting and refining each area as we work to ensure your results look even and natural. Most JUVÉDERM, Restylane, and Revanesse products feature lidocaine as an anesthetic, so most patients only notice a slight pinch as the injections are delivered. If you're concerned about discomfort, we can discuss applying a numbing cream to the treatment areas before your procedure starts. Most patients return to work and other daily activities right away, making dermal fillers an easy treatment to fit into a busy schedule.
What Are the Benefits of Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Rather than making it obvious that you've had cosmetic work done, dermal fillers are designed to restore balance and harmony to your features, helping you look well rested, healthy, and naturally rejuvenated. With results that are noticeable almost immediately and that improve over time, dermal filler injections offer a variety of cosmetic benefits to patients in the Orland Park and Frankfort, IL areas, some of which include:
- Restoring volume to the cheeks and mid-face
- Softening smile lines and facial folds
- Enhancing shape, definition, and fullness in the lips

Frequently Asked Questions about Dermal Fillers
How do dermal fillers add volume to the face?
JUVÉDERM, Restylane, and Revanesse are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that attracts and holds water. Once injected beneath the skin, the filler restores volume to areas that have become hollow or flattened while also improving hydration and providing gentle structural support.
What areas are commonly treated with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are commonly used to enhance the lips, restore volume to the cheeks, soften smile lines and marionette lines, improve the chin and jawline, fill under-eye hollows, and refine other facial contours. Your injector at Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics will recommend the treatment areas that best match your goals.
How often should dermal fillers be maintained?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the product used, the area treated, and how quickly your body metabolizes the filler. Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every 6 – 18 months to maintain their results, although some fillers can last even longer.
What is the difference between JUVÉDERM, Restylane, and Revanesse?
All three collections use hyaluronic acid to restore facial volume, but each offers products with different characteristics for different treatment goals.
- JUVÉDERM is known for its smooth gel consistency and includes fillers designed for lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, and facial folds. Many patients choose JUVÉDERM when they're looking for soft, natural-looking volume and longer-lasting results in certain treatment areas.
- Restylane includes a broad family of fillers with varying firmness and flexibility, allowing providers to tailor treatment to specific areas of the face. It's commonly used for lips, cheeks, under-eye hollows, smile lines, and facial contouring.
- Revanesse is formulated with smaller, more uniform hyaluronic acid particles that create a smooth consistency and precise placement. It's often selected for patients seeking subtle enhancement with minimal swelling following treatment.
What should I expect during a dermal filler appointment?
After discussing your goals, your injector will evaluate your facial features and develop a personalized treatment plan. The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be used before the filler is injected with a fine needle or cannula. Most appointments take 30 – 60 minutes, and you can usually return to your normal activities immediately afterward, although temporary swelling or bruising is possible.
Enhance Your Natural Features
Small changes in facial volume can have a remarkable effect on your overall appearance. If time is starting to take a toll on your facial features, dermal fillers might help you achieve the youthful look you want without the downtime of surgery. Schedule your consultation at Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics in Orland Park or Frankfort, IL to learn how JUVÉDERM, Restylane, or Revanesse can help you achieve balanced, natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
