Dermal Filler NYC

Dermal Filler

The Experience: Use of dermal filler not only to reduce signs of aging (smile lines, sagging, and volume depletion), but also to optimize your facial aesthetic (define cheekbones, sharpen the jawline and chin). We take a modern approach to this classic treatment, encouraging multiple small enhancements over time. This prevents filler fatigue and the classic look of a puffy, unnatural aesthetic from years of overfilling.

For Best Results: Combine with a series of our TTL Enhancement for even more definition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften the appearance of lines and folds. At CONTŌR, we use FDA‑approved hyaluronic acid based (HA) fillers, which integrate seamlessly with your tissue and attract moisture for a smooth, natural finish. Results are immediate, subtle, and designed to enhance, not alter, your features.

Dermal fillers can be used to refine and balance multiple areas of the face, including: Lips (shape, symmetry, hydration), Cheeks (structure and lift), Jawline and chin (definition and proportion), Under‑eyes / tear troughs (hollowing and shadowing), Nasolabial folds and smile lines.  Every treatment plan at CONTŌR is customized based on facial anatomy, movement, and long‑term aesthetic goals.

You’ll see results immediately after treatment. Mild swelling is common and typically fades within a few days, with final results settling by about 10–14 days. At CONTŌR, most dermal filler results last around 9–12 months or longer, depending on the product used, treated area, and individual metabolism.

Most clients experience minimal discomfort. CONTŌR uses the strongest prescription topical numbing available, and many describe the sensation as mild pressure. Some soreness or tenderness can occur after treatment but fades quickly.

Dermal filler treatments generally have little to no downtime. Swelling, redness, and occasional bruising are common but usually resolve within a few days. Lip fillers may have some more swelling, though clients can resume normal activities immediately.

We completely understand. That’s why, at CONTŌR we prioritize long term outcomes over drastic short term results. We know prevention is always more effective than correction and the best results are achieved through micro-enhancements over time. By prioritizing your long term aesthetic, we are able to produce results that are both natural and long lasting.

Please note: Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not suitable candidates for this treatment.

To minimize the risk of adverse effects, we kindly ask that you not get treated if you have a current cold or have had a recent vaccination or dental work in the past 2 weeks. 

To minimize the risk of bruising or swelling, avoid alcohol, aspirin, or NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Motrin) 24 hours before and after treatment. 

When taken two or more days before treatment, Arnica and Bromelain can reduce bruising. Always consult your primary physician before taking any new medications.

Redness, swelling and occasional bruising are common side effects of dermal filler injections but they usually disappear within a day or two. A light amount of makeup can be applied the same day.  Lip filler may result in swelling / bruising for 2-5 days.

Avoid the following:

  • Facials/facial massage tables for 7 days after treatment.
  • Dental work or vaccines for 2 weeks before or after treatment.
  • Taking aspirin and NSAIDs (Advil, Aleve, Motrin), as they can increase your chance of bruising.
  • Soreness can be relieved with Tylenol. 
  • Exercise for until the following day.
  • Gua-sha, facials, facial massage for 7 days after treatment.

You may also want to avoid salty foods and alcoholic beverages as they can contribute to swelling / bruising.

When performed by licensed, medically trained providers, dermal fillers are widely used and generally well tolerated.

More serious risks are uncommon and are discussed during your consultation to ensure treatment is appropriate for your individual needs.

Filler migration is uncommon when treatments are performed with precision by experienced, medically trained providers using appropriate products and techniques. Strategic placement, conservative dosing, and individualized treatment planning help minimize this risk and support natural-looking results.
