As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat, leading to a loss of volume, sagging skin, and the formation of lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers offer a powerful, non-surgical solution to counteract these changes, restoring youthful contours and enhancing facial features. These injectable treatments are especially popular for revitalizing the lower face and creating beautifully shaped lips, providing immediate and natural-looking results.
At Revive MD in Fall River, MA, Dr. Swetha Nataraj and our experienced team of aesthetic specialists are masters in the art of facial rejuvenation using dermal fillers. We combine technical precision with an artistic eye to enhance your natural beauty, focusing on balance and harmony.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances, most commonly made from hyaluronic acid (HA), that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body, where it helps keep skin plump and hydrated. As we get older, our bodies produce less HA, contributing to signs of aging. FDA-approved dermal fillers work by replenishing this lost volume, effectively filling in wrinkles and folds from the inside out.
The process of facial rejuvenation with fillers is both a science and an art. When injected, the filler adds immediate volume to the targeted area. For lip fillers, this means creating a fuller, more defined shape. For the lower face, it can mean softening smile lines, sharpening the jawline, or lifting downturned corners of the mouth. The fillers integrate with your skin's tissue to create a smooth, natural-looking result. This treatment, available at our Fall River practice, is a go-to for patients seeking significant aesthetic improvements without surgery.
Dermal fillers are exceptionally versatile and can be used to address a variety of concerns, particularly in the lips and lower face. Dr. Nataraj tailors each treatment to the unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals of the patient, ensuring results that are both beautiful and balanced. This targeted approach to volume restoration can take years off your appearance.

Your dermal filler appointment at Revive MD is a comfortable and efficient non-surgical treatment. The procedure itself is relatively quick, often taking between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. Your visit will begin with a thorough consultation with our expert team to discuss your goals and map out the precise injection points.
Before the filler procedure, the treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. Dr. Nataraj will then use a fine needle or a cannula to skillfully inject the filler into the targeted areas. You may feel a slight pressure during the injection, but the process is generally well-tolerated. Many filler formulations also contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, to minimize discomfort. After the injections, the area may be gently massaged to ensure the filler is distributed evenly. You can see the results immediately and can return to most of your daily activities right away.
Yes, when administered by a qualified medical professional, dermal fillers have an excellent safety record. The most commonly used fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that is naturally found in the body, which means the risk of an allergic reaction is extremely low. These treatments are FDA-approved for cosmetic use and have been performed safely on millions of people worldwide.
The key to a safe treatment is the skill and experience of your injector. At Revive MD, Dr. Nataraj has extensive training in facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques, ensuring a safe and effective outcome. The most common side effects are temporary and mild, such as slight bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites, which typically resolve within a few days. We prioritize your health and well-being, providing trusted facial enhancement in a professional medical setting.
Dermal fillers stand out from other facial rejuvenation treatments due to their unique ability to restore volume instantly. While treatments like Botox address wrinkles caused by muscle movement, dermal fillers work by physically filling in lines and hollows, providing structural support to the skin.
Compared to surgical options like a facelift, fillers offer a non-invasive alternative with no significant downtime. You can achieve a more youthful appearance without the risks, cost, and recovery associated with surgery. The filler benefits also include their versatility; they can be used for everything from subtle lip plumping to significant facial contouring. The results are immediate, so you leave the office already seeing the improvement. This combination of instant results, minimal downtime, and effective volume restoration makes dermal fillers a leading choice for non-surgical facial enhancement.
