What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth deep wrinkles, and enhance facial contours — all without surgery. At Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness in Buffalo, NY, we use premium hyaluronic acid-based fillers to subtly lift, plump, and sculpt, delivering results that look naturally beautiful and feel completely like you.
As we age, our faces naturally lose volume, bone density decreases, and the skin loses collagen and elasticity. This can create hollow under-eyes, flattened cheeks, thinning lips, and prominent nasolabial folds. Dermal fillers replace this lost structure and volume, restoring a refreshed, youthful appearance that works with — rather than against — your natural features.
"I came in wanting subtle lip filler and left absolutely loving my results. The team really listened to what I wanted and gave me the most natural, beautiful enhancement. I get compliments constantly!"
Popular Dermal Filler Treatment Areas in Buffalo, NY
Every face is unique, and so is every filler treatment at Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness. Our experienced injectors evaluate your facial structure, skin quality, and personal goals to design a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Common treatment areas include:
- Lip augmentation — adding volume, definition, and shape to thin or asymmetrical lips
- Cheek enhancement — restoring or adding volume to flat or sunken cheeks for lifted, sculpted contours
- Nasolabial folds — softening the deep lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Marionette lines — reducing the lines that extend downward from the corners of the mouth
- Under-eye hollows (tear troughs) — addressing the sunken, shadowed look beneath the eyes
- Jawline contouring — defining and sharpening the jaw for a more structured profile
- Chin augmentation — improving chin projection and facial balance without surgery
- Temple hollowing — restoring volume to sunken temples for a more youthful facial frame
- Hand rejuvenation — plumping the backs of the hands to reduce the visibility of tendons and veins
Types of Dermal Fillers We Use
Not all fillers are created equal, and different areas of the face benefit from different formulations. At Shay Maz Aesthetics & Wellness, we work with a range of trusted, FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers — including options from the Juvederm and Restylane product families — to address everything from delicate fine lines to deep volume loss. During your consultation, we'll recommend the most appropriate product for your specific treatment goals.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in your body and is highly compatible with skin tissue. It attracts and binds water, providing immediate volume while also supporting the skin's natural hydration. Best of all, hyaluronic acid fillers are reversible — giving you added peace of mind throughout the treatment process.
What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Appointment
Your dermal filler appointment at our Buffalo, NY studio begins with an in-depth consultation. We'll discuss your concerns, your desired outcome, and your medical history to ensure we develop the safest and most effective treatment plan for you. We take a "less is more" approach — our goal is always to enhance your natural beauty, never to change the way you look.
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to maximize your comfort. Most fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that makes the injection process considerably more comfortable. Depending on the number of areas treated, appointments typically take between 30 and 60 minutes.
Results are visible immediately and continue to settle and soften over the following 2 weeks. Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the product used, the treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism and lifestyle. In general, lip fillers last approximately 6 to 12 months, while cheek and facial fillers can last 12 to 24 months or longer. Our team will work with you to create a maintenance plan so your results stay consistently beautiful over time.
Combining Dermal Fillers with Other Treatments
Dermal fillers work beautifully on their own, but many clients in Buffalo, NY achieve their best results by pairing fillers with complementary treatments. Combining fillers with Botox addresses both dynamic wrinkles and volume loss for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Adding PRP injections can further improve skin texture and quality, enhancing your overall results naturally.
