What Are Body Fillers, and How Do They Work?
When dermal fillers are injected into specific body areas, they are planned to restore natural, youthful contours and balance, as well as lift sagging skin. Fillers also stimulate collagen renewal to improve wrinkling and enhance skin further via hydration and brightening. By renewing collagen and the skin’s structural matrix, fillers deliver long-lasting results.
Dermal fillers encourage collagen production and improve the skin’s overall appearance by:
- Adding volume to sagging skin
- Improving the symmetry of your features
- Plump up lips and cheeks
- Smooth wrinkles and creases
Our experts can use the collagen-stimulating effect of fillers to restore the skin’s structure, reduce crepiness, and enhance the appearance of skin in areas of the face as well. The treated areas look better immediately due to the light reflecting and hydrating properties of the fillers. However, the improvements from body fillers typically occur in 3 to 6 months, after collagen and skin matrix renewal. Typically, a series of 2 to 3 treatments is recommended, and our experts will work with you to develop an individualized plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Body fillers can help create smoother skin, restore contour and volume, lift, and hydrate the skin in the:
- Neck
- Chest
- Arms
- Hands
- Knees
- Thighs
Often, body fillers are thinned to an appropriate thickness for the treatment area. These hyperdilute formulas are diluted with lidocaine and saline can be used to treat larger areas safely, effectively, and comfortably. The injection cannula can also break up adhesions in deep lines and wrinkles that bind skin to deeper structures, especially on the neck and chest.
Filler types available to Charlotte Skin & Laser include:
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Fillers
These biocompatible fillers are temporary and provide volume, hydration, and smoothing with results that can last from 6 months to a year.
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers
They are used to temporarily address deeper wrinkles with results that last around a year.
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers
These stimulate collagen production and last for two years or longer.
Body Fillers and Complementary Treatments
Combining body fillers with laser and energy-based treatments at Charlotte Skin & Laser can greatly enhance the results by tightening the skin and renewing the matrix and collagen production in off-face areas. Our experts will help you determine the appropriate treatment combinations to rejuvenate skin, boost collagen production, tighten skin, and can address aesthetic concerns like sun damage.

- Lasers & Energy
- Microneedling with

Preparing for Your Body Filler Treatment
Your provider will ensure you know how to prepare for your upcoming Charlotte body filler appointment before scheduling, but here are general ways to get ready:
- Avoid all NSAID medications, including ibuprofen or Aleve, for a week before your appointment to minimize bruising.
- Stay well-hydrated the week before your appointment.
- Don’t consume alcohol or caffeine for 24 to 48 hours before your appointment, as they can contribute to dehydration and increase bleeding and bruising.
- Smoking is not only detrimental to your overall health but can also negatively impact injectable results. As such, Dr. Rostan recommends stopping smoking or using nicotine products at least 48 hours before and after injectables.
- Use a gentle cleanser and come to your appointment with clean skin free of makeup, deodorants, lotions, perfumes, and oils in the treatment area.
What to Expect During Your Body Filler Treatment in Charlotte, NC
Typically, Charlotte, NC body filler treatments are simple, quick in-office procedures that are well-tolerated by most patients. Once you arrive at the office, you will be taken to a treatment room to meet with your provider to review your treatment details. Depending on the treatment area, our providers may apply a topical anesthetic to alleviate any discomfort.
Our experts will use thin cannulas or needles to strategically inject small amounts of filler under the skin to achieve balanced features and natural-looking results. Patients typically experience only minimal discomfort throughout treatment. Often, fillers are combined with lidocaine to ensure comfort following the treatment. Discuss your pain concerns with your provider before beginning treatment. Depending on the area treated, body filler treatments typically take 15 to 30 minutes per session.
What to Expect After Your Body Filler Treatment
Body filler treatments require minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness, bruising, and swelling, but these temporary effects will subside within a few hours to days. Our experts may recommend cold compresses to alleviate any discomfort.
Some patients may see immediate results after their body filler treatment. However, some fillers gradually develop results that appear within a few weeks to months.
After body filler treatment, you can resume most normal activities; however, avoid exercise and other strenuous activities for 2 to 3 days to allow the body to heal. Minimize sun exposure and wear sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher daily, as UV rays can impact filler longevity.

How Long Do Body Filler Results Last?
Multiple factors can influence the longevity of your body filler results, including the type of filler used, the body area treated, and your unique response. Hyaluronic acid fillers can last 3 to 12 months; most patients achieve better results with Sculptra or Radiesse fillers, as they last 1 to 2 years. As Sculptra and Radiesse both stimulate collagen formation, they improve the skin’s texture and firmness for healthier-looking skin and long-lasting results.
To maintain your results, our experts will provide aftercare instructions to ensure your body fillers last as long as possible, and they will work with you to establish a maintenance plan.
