Dermal fillers add volume and smooth lines. Common treatment areas include lips for added volume, smile lines and fine surface lines for smoothing, and the cheeks and jawline for contouring, along with deep marionette lines. The number of syringes needed depends on the areas treated and your goals; your provider sets that during the consultation, along with a specific timeline for how long results tend to hold.

Evolysse is a hyaluronic acid filler: hyaluronic acid is a substance the body already produces, and it works by binding water once injected, which is what restores volume and softens the look of lines. The body gradually breaks the gel down over time, which is why results aren't permanent and touch-ups are normal. Swelling right after treatment is common, so the fuller, settled result usually shows over the following one to two weeks, not immediately at the appointment. Because the technique adds volume rather than reshaping the face, the aim is a refreshed look that still reads as you, confirmed during your consultation rather than promised in advance.

Avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications or supplements for 24 to 48 hours before your appointment, if medically appropriate, and discuss any medications with your provider at the consultation. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.
