What are Dermal Fillers?
Facial fillers are gel-like substances made from biocompatible ingredients that are artfully injected into facial tissue to restore fullness, add volume, correct acne scars, smooth wrinkles, enhance cheeks, plump lips, and improve the jawline. Dermal fillers are one of the fastest-growing treatment options in cosmetic medicine today. They are also among the most popular treatments at Premier Image.
Injectable soft-tissue fillers are typically made with synthetic or naturally-occurring substances like poly-l-lactic acid and hyaluronic acid, which are gradually absorbed by the body. Most fillers provide temporary results that last from two months to two years, depending on the person and the product. Bellafill® injectable solution is not a temporary filler and uses microsphere-enhanced collagen to support the skin.
Other injectables, like Botox (botulinum toxin type A) and Kybella (deoxycholic acid) work a bit differently than fillers but still offer nonsurgical cosmetic enhancement from a simple, no-downtime injection session.
Types of Injectables
Premier Image offers a variety of injectables in Sandy Springs, Georgia, to help patients reach their goals. Dr. DeJoseph recommends the best product for each patient, depending on their desired outcome, and offers the top injectable products on the market, including Juvederm Volbella™, Restylane®, and Botox®. Below is a short description of the available FDA-approved injectables in the Premier Image of Sandy Springs, GA.
BOTOX®
Botox Cosmetic reduces facial wrinkles in your forehead, between your eyes, and in the delicate areas around your eyes. A protein that blocks nerve impulses when injected into the facial muscles under the skin, Botox can diminish the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet that occur with natural aging.
DYSPORT
Dysport is a prescription injection used to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Dysport blocks nerve impulses that cause facial muscles to contract, reducing muscle activity and ultimately diminishing frown lines.
XEOMIN®
As a botulinum toxin type A, Xeomin reduces forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and lines around your eyes known as crow’s feet. Once injected under your skin, Xeomin causes your facial muscles to relax, allowing your skin to flatten and your fine lines and wrinkles to soften.
KYBELLA™
Introducing Kybella™, the first FDA-approved non-surgical cosmetic procedure to eliminate unwanted submental fat, commonly known as the double chin. With active ingredient deoxycholic acid, Kybella is injected into under the chin fat to dissolve subcutaneous fat cells.
RESTYLANE®
Restylane is a clear transparent gel that is used to smooth wrinkles, sculpt lips, and shape facial contours. Composed of the hyaluronic acid, Restylane can bond with your dermal tissue for many months keeping you looking younger, longer.
RESTYLANE LYFT
Restylane Lyft is a dermal filler that improves facial wrinkles and folds, plumps lips, and fills in scars. Made from hyaluronic acid, a natural volumizing substance found in the body, Restylane Lyft does not require allergy testing. Restylane Lyft is injected directly into the dermal tissues and lasts for a year or longer.
RADIESSE
Radiesse is a synthetic injectable filler that non-surgically reduces most wrinkles, creases, and scars by augmenting your body’s natural collagen supply. While Radiesse can be used on a wide range of areas on the body, the filler most effectively treats the lines around the nose, lips, depressed scars, and lines in the corners of the mouth.
SCULPTRA™
Sculptra is an injectable product used to fill in sunken areas of the face in patients who suffer from lipoatrophy or the loss of fat beneath the skin known as “facial wasting.” Injected into the deep dermis layer of the skin, Sculptra increases skin thickness over time to improve the appearance of sunken cheeks, hollow eyes, indentations, and wrinkles.
BELOTERO
Belotero is a specially designed hyaluronic acid dermal filler that rehydrates and volumizes skin, reducing unwanted lines and wrinkles. Because hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in your body, Belotero subtly integrates with your tissue to improve facial contours or to hydrate the dry skin on your hands or décolletage.
BELLAFILL
Bellafill is the only microsphere-enhanced collagen filler for the correction of facial lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Whereas temporary dermal fillers are eventually absorbed by your body and require frequent injections, the unique microspheres contained within Bellafill are not absorbed by the body, providing the support structure your skin needs for a smooth, natural look.
JUVEDERM VOLUMA
FDA-approved Juvederm Voluma treatments are available in Atlanta. This hyaluronic acid dermal filler restores volume to the cheek area to effectively reduce signs of aging. Treatment takes 15-30 minutes, with immediate results lasting up to two years. The experts at Premier Image conduct a consultation to determine individual treatment needs.
JUVEDERM
Juvederm is a smooth hyaluronic acid filler that is used to lessen the effects of wrinkles and lines around your nose and mouth. Manufactured using Hylacross technology that gives the filler a stable gel structure, Juvederm provides natural looking results that last up to one year. Juvederm is injected directly into the dermis to moisturize your facial tissue and rejuvenate your skin.

Juvederm Ultra
Juvederm Ultra is a hyaluronic acid filler that smooths wrinkles and restores skin volume. Common treatment areas include smile lines and lip lines. The procedure involves injecting the filler directly into the skin using an ultra-fine needle. Side effects are usually mild and temporary. In addition to Juvederm Ultra, Premier Image also offers thicker fillers for deeper wrinkles, like Juvederm Ultra Plus and Juvederm Voluma. Consultations are available to determine the best treatment plan for individual patients.
Juvederm Vollure
Premier Image Cosmetic and Laser Surgery offers FDA-approved Juvederm Vollure treatments. Juvederm Vollure is a dermal filler product containing hyaluronic acid that is injected to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and creases.

Your Injectables Consultation in Atlanta, GA
During a private injectables consultation in Atlanta, Dr. DeJoseph examines the patient’s skin, discusses cosmetic goals, and reviews their health history. A personalized treatment plan is then created to smooth facial wrinkles, restore volume, enhance the cheek area, plump the lips, or relax muscles causing wrinkles and lines.
Dermal Filler Candidates
Adult men and women who want to restore lost volume and smooth lines and wrinkles in different areas of the face without surgery may be ideal candidates for filler treatments at Premier Image.
Pregnant or breast-feeding women and individuals who have had an allergic reaction to botulinum type A or another dermal filler should discuss alternative options with Dr. DeJoseph during their private consultation.
The Dermal Filler Procedure
Dr. DeJoseph performs filler injections in Atlanta, GA, at the beautiful Premier Image facility. Fillers made from Poly-l -lactic acid, hyaluronic acid, and most other gel fillers, including Bellafill and Juvederm, contain the local anesthetic lidocaine to reduce discomfort during the injection process.
The area is cleaned and prepped with a numbing cream before the 10- to 20-minute treatment is completed. The entire process is easily tolerated, with the tiny needle generating only a minor pinching sensation. A follow-up visit may be recommended to add subtle changes and to establish a maintenance schedule for lasting facial rejuvenation results.
Recovering from Dermal Fillers
Injectable treatments at our Atlanta office require no downtime. Patients are encouraged to keep their head elevated for several hours after the procedure and to avoid applying makeup or touching the area for a brief time.
Minor bruising and some redness is common and may create some social limitations. Still, most patients return to work immediately after the procedure and perform low-level activities on the same day.

Dermal Fillers FAQs
Dermal fillers have FDA approval to treat various areas safely and are considered a “lunchtime” procedure. Patients typically return to work and other light activities immediately after their treatment session.
Slight redness or mild bruising at the injection site are common side effects of injectable fillers but can sometimes be prevented with the avoidance of anti-inflammatory medications like Motrin.
Rare risks may include allergic reactions, muscle weakness, flu-like symptoms, and headaches, but these risks are rare when the treatment is performed by an expert injector, like Dr. DeJoseph.
Premier Image offers a complete range of dermal facial fillers at exceptional prices. Patients who reside in and around Sandy Springs and Atlanta, Georgia, have access to Dr. DeJoseph’s outstanding artistic skills. Even some out-of-area clients come to Dr. DeJoseph for their exceptional skills.
The cost of dermal filler treatments varies slightly and depends on the area and the type of filler. The typical cost of a facial filler treatment is approximately $600. Dr. DeJoseph will discuss different filler options with you, along with their prices.
The experts at Premier Image Cosmetic Surgery will provide you with a list of pretreatment instructions during your consultation. Avoid anti-inflammatory medications and supplements like Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, and fish oil supplements for one week before the treatment to reduce bleeding and bruising.
Probably the fastest growing area in facial plastic surgery is that of the injectables or that of the low down time procedures. This is something where you come to the office, have it injected and see an immediate result and head back to your daily life activities.
This consists of two separate categories of injectables. One is Botox and Dysport and other is a filler such as Restylane, Sculptra, ArteFill, or Radiesse. What is the difference between the two? Well really there are two classes. Botox and Dysport relax the muscle that causes the wrinkle. Restylane, Sculptra or Radiesse fill the wrinkle from behind. They both do separate things but sometimes when they are used in conjunction with each other they actually achieve a much nicer result.
