Dermal Fillers in San Mateo — Natural Volume & Contour

Dermal fillers are gel‑like injectables placed beneath the skin to:

• Restore or add volume

• Smooth lines and folds

• Enhance facial contours

• Improve symmetry

Most of the fillers we use are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in the skin that helps keep it hydrated and plump. HA fillers can be shaped, sculpted, and—even more importantly—they’re reversible if needed, which adds a layer of safety and flexibility. MD Laser and Co

What sets our filler treatments apart:

• Physician‑led care – Your treatment plan is developed and overseen by a physician with decades of experience in aesthetics and women’s healthcare. TrustAnalytica
• Natural‑first philosophy – We aim for soft, refreshed results—not an overfilled or “unrecognizable” look.
• Face as a whole – We consider proportions, profile, and balance rather than treating each area in isolation.
• Safety & ethics – We only recommend filler where it’s appropriate and safe, and we’ll tell you honestly if we don’t think you’re a good candidate.

After a consult and photos, we cleanse and (if needed) numb. Most HA fillers contain lidocaine for comfort. Expect immediate improvement with some swelling that settles over days.

At MD Laser & Cosmetics, we use trusted, FDA‑approved hyaluronic acid fillers, including popular families such as Restylane® Voluma®, Revanesse®, Teosyl®, and Juvéderm®, and related products, selected based on the area being treated and your goals. MD Laser and Cosmetics+1

Different fillers are designed for different jobs:

• Softer gels for natural, hydrated lips

• More supportive fillers for cheeks and jawline

• Lightweight formulations for fine lines or delicate tear troughs

We will explain which filler (or combination of fillers) is best suited for each area.

• Immediately: You’ll see added volume and smoother contours right away.

• 1–2 weeks: Swelling resolves and filler fully settles, so you can see the “true” result.

• 6–18 months: Most hyaluronic acid fillers last in this general range, depending on the product, area, and your individual metabolism.

Areas that move a lot (like lips) may need more frequent maintenance, while structure areas (like cheeks or chin) often last longer.

Dermal fillers have a strong safety track record when used appropriately by trained medical professionals. However, like any medical procedure, they carry potential risks, such as:

• Bruising, swelling, and tenderness

• Asymmetry or unevenness

• Lumps/bumps

• Rare but serious complications related to blood vessels

We minimize risk by:

• Careful patient selection

• Detailed anatomy‑guided injection techniques

• Conservative dosing and gradual build‑up when appropriate

You’ll receive procedure‑specific informed consent and have the opportunity to ask questions before treatment.
