Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. The most common base for these fillers is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that helps retain moisture and firmness. Hyaluronic acid fillers are favored for their natural feel and the immediate results they provide. In addition to the following hyaluronic acid fillers, we also offer Sculptra, a biostimulatory filler formulated with poly-L-lactic acid.
Restylane Defyne is specially formulated to act like your body’s own naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, helping to smooth out deep laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). This filler is designed with XpresHAn Technology™, which provides a smooth, supple gel that allows for excellent movement and natural firmness. This technology helps maintain your natural expressions and movements, ensuring that your face looks soft and youthful, not stiff or artificial. At Little Laser Clinic, Restylane Defyne is a popular choice for clients who need robust support in areas with deep creasing but still want to maintain a natural ease in their facial expressions.
Restylane Refyne also features XpresHAn Technology™ and is designed to help soften laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines). However, it is tailored for milder lines and wrinkles, providing subtle enhancements. Refyne is softer compared to Defyne, allowing for a treatment that supports your natural expressions while smoothing out less pronounced lines. This filler is ideal for those who are starting to see the signs of aging and want to prevent deeper lines from forming.
Restylane Lyft is one of the most versatile fillers in the Restylane family, known for its ability to lift and contour facial features. Lyft is approved not only for facial injections but also for correcting volume loss on the back of the hands. It provides a more dramatic lift and is excellent for enhancing cheeks, smoothing smile lines, and adding volume to the midface area. At Little Laser Clinic, we use Restylane Lyft to create a more youthful silhouette by sculpting and defining facial contours without the need for surgical intervention.
Restylane Kysse is the latest addition to our offering, specifically designed for lip augmentation and the smoothing of wrinkles around the upper lip. Kysse uses XpresHAn Technology™ to provide flexible movement and natural-looking volume, enhancing lip texture and color while maintaining a full range of expressions. It’s perfect for clients who desire subtly reshaped lips that look natural and feel soft to the touch.
Restylane-L is an excellent filler that can be used anywhere on the face to smooth facial wrinkles and folds. It is currently one of the most effective and popular injectable products for treating under-eye hollows and tear troughs. It is FDA-approved to fill in wrinkles and add definition to the lips. Restylane-L contains a numbing substance called lidocaine, which reduces discomfort during treatment. Expected results include increased fullness and volume in injected areas and reduced wrinkling.
Restylane Eyelight effectively reduces dark circles under the eyes, providing a brighter and more youthful appearance. This treatment enhances the contour and volume around the eyes, diminishing the signs of aging and tiredness. Its hyaluronic acid formulation hydrates the skin, ensuring a smoother and more refreshed look. Additionally, Restylane Eyelight offers long-lasting results with minimal downtime, making it a convenient option for those seeking to rejuvenate their eye area. It is designed to integrate seamlessly with the skin’s natural structure, offering a more natural look.
Restylane Contour is specifically formulated for cheek augmentation and midface volume restoration, offering a flexible lift that moves naturally with your expressions. Designed with XpresHAn Technology™, it provides subtle definition without stiffness—making it ideal for patients who want to restore youthful contours without looking overfilled. At Little Laser Clinic, Restylane Contour is often recommended for those experiencing age-related volume loss in the cheeks or those seeking refined sculpting with a soft, dynamic finish.
Every dermal filler procedure at Little Laser Clinic begins with a consultation. Christine Chen, PA-C, will review your medical history, goals, and facial anatomy to recommend the best type of filler and technique for you.
On treatment day, we numb the injection site to reduce discomfort. Using fine needles or cannulas, Christine will inject dermal fillers with careful attention to depth, location, and movement of the area. Depending on your treatment plan, this minimally invasive outpatient procedure takes 30–60 minutes and allows you to return to regular activities shortly after.
Dermal fillers offer a versatile way to treat a wide range of aesthetic concerns, including:
Patients love dermal fillers because they work quickly, look natural, and require no significant downtime.
Benefits include: instant volume restoration, non-surgical facial contour improvement, improved facial asymmetry, and can be reversed if desired.
Most healthy adults wishing to restore volume, treat deeper wrinkles, address other signs of facial aging, or enhance their facial contours are good candidates for filler injections. Injectable fillers are perfect for those who want subtle, customized results without the downtime or invasiveness of surgery.
You may be advised to avoid soft tissue fillers if you have certain medical or skin conditions or a history of severe allergic reactions. We always conduct a detailed intake and guide you safely, ensuring each treatment is appropriate and effective for your needs.
Because filler injections are a minimally invasive outpatient procedure, recovery is usually easy. Patients may have slight swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection site, which normally fades within a few days.
Avoid intense workouts, alcohol, and facial massage for the first 24–48 hours. We’ll give you specific aftercare tips to keep your results smooth and your skin calm.
Hyaluronic acid fillers produce immediate results, though they refine subtly over a few days as minor swelling resolves. You’ll leave the clinic with a noticeable, yet natural enhancement that improves as the filler integrates with your skin’s tissue.
Most HA filler results last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the area treated, the product used, and how quickly your body metabolizes the material. Areas like the lips may require more frequent maintenance, while structural areas such as the cheeks or chin often hold longer. We will help create a maintenance timeline that balances your goals, skin condition, and preferences.

HA fillers typically last 6 to 18 months. Longevity depends on where the filler is placed, your metabolism, and the specific product used. Cheek and chin fillers often last longer than lip or tear trough fillers.
Yes. One advantage of facial fillers containing hyaluronic acid is that they can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase. If adjustments are needed—or you simply change your mind—reversal is a safe, medically supported option.
Yes. HA is a natural component of the body’s connective tissues, which makes it highly biocompatible. The risk of allergic reaction is low, especially when using FDA-approved products. At Little Laser Clinic, all injectable filler treatments are performed with strict safety protocols.
HA fillers and Sculptra are both types of dermal fillers used to restore facial volume and smooth wrinkles, but they work in different ways. Hyaluronic acid is a natural component found in the skin’s connective tissue, which helps retain moisture and support structure. HA-based injectable fillers provide immediate results by physically filling areas under the skin with a gel substance that mimics the body’s natural moisture-binding molecules. In contrast, Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the body’s own collagen production over time, leading to more gradual results that build over several weeks. HA dermal fillers are ideal for patients who want precise, visible contouring right away, while Sculptra is often chosen for overall facial rejuvenation that develops subtly and lasts longer. The best choice depends on your goals, timeline, and the areas being treated.
Common areas include the cheeks, jawline, lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. Dermal fillers are versatile enough to address both shallow contours and more defined structural needs while maintaining a soft, natural look.
Yes. Dermal fillers are effective for smoothing fine lines, filling deeper wrinkles, and softening skin folds like smile lines.
Not here. Christine takes a conservative, anatomically informed approach to injecting dermal fillers. The goal is to enhance—not exaggerate—your features. We’ll build your look gradually and revisit as needed.
To reduce the chance of bruising, avoid alcohol, aspirin, and NSAIDs 48 hours and fish oil 5-7 days before your treatment. Come with a clean face and let us know about any recent dental work, illnesses, or medications.
Yes. Dermal fillers are safe and effective for all skin types, including darker skin tones. Christine’s expertise in treating diverse skin tones and types ensures a thoughtful technique and low risk of adverse effects.
