Proudly serving Boise, Ada County, the greater Treasure Valley, and beyond.
At Idaho Eyelid and Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of dermal fillers, which are minimally invasive non-surgical options for skin rejuvenation. These fillers are designed to fill in fine lines/wrinkles around the nose, cheeks, and mouth. It is an effective method to restore volume and smooth the skin, much like turning a raisin back into a grape by adding volume. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected into your facial skin; they are cost-effective and less intensive than facial surgery. Typically, our dermal fillers achieve the following:
- Smooth out lines around your mouth and nose, such as parentheses lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and vertical lip lines
- Enhance and restore skin volume in your temples, cheeks, and jawline
- Augment thin lips to achieve fullness
We carry the following dermal fillers, and offer consultations to determine which application is right for you.
What Are Dermal Fillers Made Of?
Dermal fillers can be formulated with substances that are naturally occurring and synthetic. One of the most common key ingredients in dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring compound in the skin.
HA plays a significant role in keeping skin hydrated and firm. Depending on their formulation, HA fillers can last from 6 months or longer, after which they are safely absorbed by the body.

Our Dermal Filler Options
We offer several convenient and effective dermal fillers:
Restylane – Restylane is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler and is mainly used to smooth away moderate to severe facial wrinkles, folds, and creases. The treatment can also increase the volume of your skin and define thin lips. The results obtained from the treatment can last for up to 18 months. We carry a variety of these fillers that are specially formulated for different parts of the face.
Juvederm – Juvederm is a popular HA-based dermal filler that addresses facial signs of aging. This smooth consistency gel can be used to target moderate to severe age lines around your mouth and nose. It can also act as a lip filler for augmenting thin lips. Juvederm fillers contain lidocaine to numb the treatment region. Since a synthetic version of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid is used for Juvederm dermal fillers, the possibility of encountering allergic reactions is rare.
DERMAL FILLER AFTERCARE
After a treatment session with dermal fillers, patients can immediately return to their everyday schedule. These are often known as “lunchtime procedures,” since they are so quick and convenient that patients can get them during their lunch breaks. Dermal filler injections require no recovery time or downtime. Patients may experience minor swelling, bruising, or redness, but all these will subside shortly.
