Dermal fillers are one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for restoring lost facial volume, enhancing facial contours, and creating natural-looking rejuvenation. At The District Injector in McLean, Virginia, we use FDA-approved hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to help patients achieve refreshed, balanced, and youthful results without surgery.
Whether you’re interested in fuller lips, enhanced cheeks, a more defined jawline, smoother smile lines, or restoring age-related volume loss, every treatment is customized to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our philosophy is simple: enhance your natural beauty while preserving facial harmony and expression.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like products that restore volume beneath the skin, soften facial folds, improve contours, and enhance facial features. Most fillers used at The District Injector are made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps maintain hydration and skin volume.
Unlike neurotoxins that relax facial muscles, dermal fillers physically restore volume where it has been lost or enhance areas where additional definition is desired. Treatments are performed in the office and often take less than an hour, allowing patients to return to most normal activities shortly afterward.
Dermal fillers are commonly used to enhance or restore:
- Lips
- Cheeks
- Jawline
- Chin
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Temples
- Under-eye hollows (when appropriate)
- Facial symmetry

What to Expect
Your appointment begins with a detailed facial assessment and discussion of your treatment goals. Your provider will evaluate facial proportions, skin quality, and areas of volume loss before creating a customized treatment plan.
Dermal fillers are injected using fine needles or blunt-tip cannulas depending on the treatment area. Most appointments are completed within 30 to 60 minutes. Many filler products contain lidocaine to improve patient comfort during treatment.
Mild swelling, redness, tenderness, or bruising may occur following treatment and typically resolves within several days. Results are visible immediately, with final results becoming more apparent as swelling subsides.
Depending on the product used and treatment area, results commonly last between 6 and 24 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do dermal fillers last?
Longevity varies depending on the filler used and treatment area. Most patients enjoy results lasting anywhere from six months to two years.
Will I look overfilled?
No. Our philosophy focuses on subtle, balanced enhancements that complement your natural facial features rather than dramatically changing your appearance.
Are dermal fillers reversible?
Yes. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if necessary, providing an added level of flexibility and safety.
Can fillers be combined with Botox?
Absolutely. Botox and dermal fillers are frequently combined to address both dynamic wrinkles and volume loss as part of a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.
When will I see results?
Results are visible immediately after treatment, although mild swelling may temporarily affect the appearance. Final results typically develop over the following one to two weeks.
