What Are Dermal Fillers & Sculptra?
Dermal fillers and Sculptra are injectable treatments that restore volume and lessen signs of aging in the face. In addition to traditional dermal fillers, we also offer Sculptra, which boosts collagen production and improve skin appearance, thus creating longer-lasting and more natural results over time. Both options are minimally invasive and tailored to enhance facial contours and improve skin texture.
Many dermal fillers reverse the appearance of aging by adding volume to the face. Traditional dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a natural sugar, and can be injected into the face to plump areas like the lips and cheeks. The extra volume under your skin also smooths wrinkles and reduces the visibility of deep folds. These fillers offer fast results but may fade more quickly, typically in 6 to 18 months.
Sculptra, an FDA-approved injectable biostimulatory filler, works a little differently from traditional fillers by addressing the loss of collagen in your skin. As collagen diminishes with age, skin can’t hold its shape as well. But when Sculptra is injected into the middle layer of skin, microparticles stimulate collagen production or neocollagenesis. This new collagen gradually tightens skin, decreases wrinkles and fine lines, and adds natural volume. Although Sculptra doesn’t deliver results as quickly as other fillers, its results can last longer.
These procedures are ideal for people dealing with:
- Chin creases
- Skin depressions
- Temple hollows
- Loss of facial volume
- Jawline and chin sagging
- Wrinkles at the corners of the mouth (“marionette lines”)
- Smile lines or nasolabial folds—deep creases from the nose to the mouth
You don’t have to decide between dermal fillers and Sculptra alone—our team at Providence Plastic Surgery & Skin Center is happy to discuss your options, assess your facial features, and help you create a personal treatment plan to address your concerns.
What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers & Sculptra?

- Adding volume to the lips and cheeks
- Repairing facial asymmetry
- Lifting sagging skin

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers & Sculptra?
You may be a good candidate for dermal fillers or Sculptra if you:
- Have good general health
- Have no history of keloid scars in the treatment area
- Want smoother skin with less-pronounced wrinkles and creases
- Want a non-surgical, non-invasive option to refresh your appearance

What to Expect During Your Filler Treatment
A personalized consultation with one of our trained injectors is the first step in injectable treatments. At your consultation, we will listen to your desires and examine your face to determine the best treatment plan.
On the day, your injector will disinfect your skin and apply numbing cream to the treatment areas to keep you comfortable during the procedure. Using a thin needle, they will then inject small amounts of filler under your skin.
Some patients say the needle pinches or stings, but many experience very little discomfort. Depending on the size of your treatment area, dermal filler injections can take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour.
Dermal Fillers & Sculptra Recovery
After your injections, you may have bruises, swelling, and soreness in the treated area, but these effects are typically mild and fade within a few days.
For the best results, we advise you to:
- Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
- Stick to light exercise on the day of treatment
- Stay upright for four hours post-injection
- Don’t rub or massage the treated area
- Sleep on your back for the first day or two (not your side or stomach)
- Limit skin exposure to sun and heat for a few days
Many patients see results immediately after their injections, especially with traditional fillers. But Sculptra typically works slowly over several treatments and results may take longer to appear.
How Much Do Dermal Fillers & Sculptra Cost in Charlotte, NC?
The cost of your dermal filler treatment depends on the type of filler used and the size of your treatment area. Our hyaluronic acid fillers typically cost $750 to $850 per syringe. Sculptra fillers cost more, but often require fewer touch-up treatments, potentially making them more cost-effective.
Filler treatments aren’t typically covered by insurance, but our team will walk you through your options at your consultation. We offer convenient payment plans, and membership discounts via The Club, which gives you monthly facials and savings on injectables, skincare, and more.
