As we age, our skin naturally loses volume, elasticity, and the smooth contours that once defined our facial features. This change is largely due to a gradual loss of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the vital substances that keep our skin supple, firm, and youthful. In addition, the fat pads beneath the skin shift, creating hollows and contributing to sagging, deeper wrinkles, and facial folds.
At Sound Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics in Kirkland, we offer dermal filler treatments designed to counteract these changes—without surgery. Using advanced, FDA-approved soft tissue fillers, we restore lost volume, smooth facial lines and skin folds, and rejuvenate your natural features for a more youthful appearance. Whether you’re looking to fill wrinkles, sculpt shallow contours, or subtly enhance your lips or cheeks, our expert injectors will create a personalized treatment plan to help you look refreshed—never overdone.
Dermal fillers, also known as injectable fillers or facial fillers, are gel-like substances that are carefully injected beneath the skin to restore volume and structure to areas affected by aging or volume loss. These medical devices are used to treat moderate to severe facial wrinkles, deeper lines, and hollowed areas—all without surgery or downtime.
There are several types of dermal fillers, with each designed to target specific aesthetic concerns:
By replenishing volume and improving facial structure, dermal filler injections help restore harmony to the face and reduce signs of aging—all while preserving your natural look.
At Sound Medical, we tailor every filler treatment to the individual. Whether you're targeting a single concern or looking for a more comprehensive refresh, injectable dermal fillers can address a wide variety of areas, including:
With a thorough understanding of facial anatomy and aesthetics, our team will guide you to the right type of filler and placement to help you feel confident in your results.
As a trusted medical spa led by Dr. Christine James, we use only FDA-approved filler products from leading brands like Juvederm® and Revanesse®. These products are expertly selected and injected based on your unique facial features, skin quality, and treatment goals.
When we inject dermal fillers into the skin, they immediately restore volume and fill creases from within. Some types of fillers, like poly-L-lactic acid, also work by stimulating your own collagen production, giving you results that improve over time.
We focus not only on how fillers look immediately but also on how they will evolve with your facial movement and expression—ensuring that the result is soft, natural, and authentically you.
Patients love dermal fillers because they offer immediate, noticeable improvements with little to no downtime. Here’s what they can do:
Dermal fillers are often called “wrinkle fillers,” but their ability to restore facial volume, structure, and youthful balance makes them one of the most effective tools in aesthetic dermatology.
At Sound Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics, we carefully select each filler based on safety, quality, and results. We offer a wide range of FDA-approved dermal filler products to address different goals, areas, and facial structures. Here’s a quick look at the options available:
Designed for adding volume and smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles, especially around the mouth and lips. Ultra Plus is slightly thicker, ideal for deeper folds.
A soft, smooth filler perfect for subtle lip enhancement and smoothing fine vertical lip lines without added bulk.
Used to restore volume and lift to the cheeks and midface, Voluma provides structure and youthful contour that lasts up to two years.
Great for softening nasolabial folds and marionette lines, Vollure offers flexible, natural-looking movement.
Specifically designed for jawline contouring, Vollux delivers firmer support to enhance definition and shape in the lower face.
An injectable treatment used to reduce submental fullness (double chin) by breaking down fat cells in the area under the chin—no surgery required.
Unlike HA fillers, Sculptra stimulates your own collagen production to gradually restore volume and improve skin firmness over time. Ideal for patients with generalized volume loss.
As more people experience significant weight loss from medications like Ozempic® (semaglutide) or other GLP-1 receptor agonists, a new concern has gained attention: “Ozempic Face.” This term refers to the facial volume loss and hollowed appearance that can occur with rapid or dramatic weight reduction—especially in the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes. Loss of facial fat, thinning of the skin’s connective tissue, and the emergence of skin folds or deeper wrinkles can make the face look more tired, gaunt, or prematurely aged.
That’s where dermal filler treatments come in.
Our expert providers at Sound Medical use injectable dermal fillers—including hyaluronic acid-based and collagen-stimulating options—to restore lost volume, smooth out facial contours, and replenish areas affected by weight loss.
At our Kirkland office, your dermal filler procedure begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and determine the best approach using the right dermal filler products for your needs.
