Injectable Fillers

Refine Facial Balance. Restore Volume. Subtle Results—Medically Delivered.

Injectable fillers are not just about cosmetic enhancement—they are a clinical tool to restore volume loss, correct asymmetry, and rebuild structure lost to aging, weight changes, or genetics. At Spectrum Skin Clinic, we provide personalized, physician-led dermal filler treatments with a focus on balance, restraint, and anatomical precision. Every treatment is performed by Dr. Sabeen Munib, MD, and tailored to your face—not a trend.

We carry a wide portfolio of HA (hyaluronic acid) and biostimulatory fillers, each with distinct indications depending on facial region, skin thickness, bone structure, and degree of tissue support needed. Whether you’re looking to define the jawline, soften under-eye hollows, or re-volumize the cheeks, our goal is to preserve your identity—not erase it.

What Are Injectable Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth lines, or enhance facial contours. Most fillers today are composed of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule found in skin and connective tissue. HA fillers draw moisture to the area and provide immediate structure with minimal risk.

In addition to HA, we also offer biostimulatory fillers such as Sculptra® (poly-L-lactic acid) and Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite), which work by stimulating collagen production for long-term structural rejuvenation. These are often used in the midface, jawline, temples, and body for deeper volume correction.

At Spectrum, every filler plan begins with structural analysis. This includes facial aging patterns, fat pad descent, bone resorption zones, and skin thickness. We don’t inject blindly—we treat based on facial architecture and regenerative need.

What Areas Can Be Treated?

Injectable fillers can address a wide range of aesthetic and structural concerns. Common treatment areas include:

• Lips – For definition, volume, symmetry, or hydration. Not all lips need to be bigger—some simply need balance.
• Under Eye (Tear Trough) – Carefully selected HA fillers or HA+PRFM blends to reduce hollowing and dark shadows, especially in post-weight loss or mature patients.
• Cheeks & Midface – Rebuilds lost projection and provides lift without surgery. A common area of early aging.
• Jawline & Chin – For lower face definition, especially in patients with soft tissue descent or profile imbalances.
• Nasolabial Folds & Marionette Lines – Smoothed using supportive HA fillers or midface lifting techniques (not just direct injection).
• Temples – A subtle but important area that restores youthful facial frame.
• Hands – Often overlooked but one of the first areas to show volume loss.

We also use filler in combination with other modalities, such as microneedling, PRFM, or radiofrequency, to support tissue regeneration and improve longevity.

Which Fillers Do You Use?

We selectively carry only FDA-approved brands with extensive safety data and long-term results:

• Juvéderm® Collection – Including Voluma, Volbella, and Ultra XC
• Restylane® Collection – Including Lyft, Kysse, Eyelight, Refyne, and Contour
• Belotero Balance® – A soft filler ideal for superficial planes and under eyes
• Sculptra® – A collagen stimulator used in the face and body
• Radiesse® – For structure and collagen activation, often hyperdiluted
• PRFM + HA Blends – For regenerative under-eye volumization with added platelet-derived growth factors

Filler selection is based on rheology (how it flows), G-prime (lift capacity), and integration properties—not brand popularity.

How Long Do Fillers Last?

Longevity varies by product, location, and metabolism:

• Lips: 6–9 months on average
• Cheeks/Jawline/Chin: 12–18 months
• Under Eyes: Up to 1 year, often longer in low-movement areas
• Sculptra: Builds gradually, with effects lasting 2+ years
• Radiesse: 12–15 months, longer when used for structural correction

Touch-ups may be needed annually or every 6 months depending on area and product.

What Can I Expect During the Procedure?

Filler appointments begin with detailed consultation and facial assessment. We map your anatomy, review goals, and evaluate how much correction is needed. Most treatments take 30 to 60 minutes and involve:

• Topical numbing or local lidocaine for comfort
• Cannula or needle-based techniques depending on area
• Real-time evaluation for symmetry and adjustment
  

There may be minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness post-treatment. Most patients resume normal activities the same day. We recommend avoiding exercise, alcohol, and facials for 24 hours post-injection.

What Is Recovery Like?

Downtime is minimal. Most side effects—like swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort—resolve within 3 to 5 days. For lip filler or under-eye filler, expect slightly more swelling for the first 48 hours.

Rare complications include lumpiness, vascular occlusion, or immune response. We perform all injections with anatomical precision and sterile protocol. In the event of complications, we offer ultrasound-guided filler dissolve using HiLuronidase (HiLunix).

Who Is a Candidate?

Filler treatments are appropriate for:

• Patients in their 20s–60s with volume loss, facial asymmetry, or hollowing
• Those looking for non-surgical rejuvenation
• Patients who have lost facial fat due to aging, weight loss, or GLP-1 use (e.g., Ozempic®)
• Anyone seeking structure, definition, or hydration in a targeted region

We also treat patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) and prioritize safe, tailored protocols for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) risk and filler integration.

Who Performs the Procedure?

All injectable filler treatments at Spectrum Skin Clinic are performed exclusively by Dr. Sabeen Munib, a board-certified physician with advanced training in aesthetics. Unlike clinics that delegate to nurse injectors or staff, you are assessed and treated directly by a physician with deep knowledge of anatomy, product properties, and complication management.
