So Naturally Radiant
Kirkland Dermal Filler Treatments at Sound Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics

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.

So Naturally You

What Are Dermal Fillers?

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:

  • Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers: The most commonly used fillers, ideal for smoothing fine lines, plumping lips, and enhancing facial contours. HA is a natural component of the skin’s connective tissue, helping to hydrate and add volume.
  • Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers: Thicker than HA fillers, used to treat deeper wrinkles and enhance facial volume, especially in the cheeks and jawline.
  • Poly-L-lactic acid fillers: These biostimulatory fillers gradually stimulate your skin’s own collagen production, offering longer-lasting volume restoration for areas like the temples or cheeks.

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.

What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?

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:

  • Smile lines (nasolabial folds): Smooth the creases running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Marionette lines: Reduce the shadows and lines that pull the mouth downward.
  • Lips: Add volume, structure, and definition to enhance your natural shape.
  • Cheeks: Restore fullness and sculpt a more lifted midface.
  • Under-eye hollows: Improve the appearance of dark circles and sunken eyes.
  • Jawline & chin: Define the jaw line, correct asymmetry, and enhance facial balance.
  • Temples: Replace volume lost from aging to lift the upper face.
  • Backs of hands: Rejuvenate aging hands by replacing volume loss and softening visible veins and tendons.
  • Vertical lines and lip lines: Smooth the fine lines around the mouth, including smoker’s lines and lipstick lines.
  • Acne scars or other shallow depressions: Plump and smooth the skin’s surface.

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.

So Scientifically Grounded

What are Dermal Fillers?

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.

So Much More Than Wrinkle Fillers

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Patients love dermal fillers because they offer immediate, noticeable improvements with little to no downtime. Here’s what they can do:

  • Smooth wrinkles and skin folds, including nasolabial folds and marionette lines
  • Enhance facial contours like the cheeks, chin, and jawline
  • Add volume to lips and correct asymmetry or shape loss
  • Lift shallow contours caused by age-related fat loss
  • Fill acne scars and other texture irregularities
  • Minimize under-eye hollows and dark circles
  • Support facial structure without surgery or fat grafting
  • Restore volume to hands for a rejuvenated look
  • Stimulate collagen, depending on the filler used

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.

So Many Options

Dermal Fillers We Offer

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:

Juvederm® Ultra & Ultra Plus

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.

So Supportive

How Dermal Fillers Help With “Ozempic Face”

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.

So Precise

Your Dermal Filler Procedure

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.

The treatment itself typically takes 30 to 60 minutes and includes the following steps:

  1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed, and a topical numbing agent is applied.
  2. Precision Injections: The selected soft tissue fillers are injected into targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas.
  3. Sculpting & Assessment: Our provider ensures symmetry and natural balance during and after the injections.
  4. Aftercare Review: We walk you through detailed instructions to optimize healing and results.

You’ll be able to return to most normal activities immediately after this outpatient procedure.

Recovery and Aftercare

While dermal filler treatments are minimally invasive, some temporary side effects may occur:

  • Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site
  • Tenderness or firmness in treated areas
  • Rare complications like allergic reactions or skin necrosis, which we thoroughly screen for in advance

To support your recovery:

  • Avoid strenuous activity, excessive heat, and alcohol for 24–48 hours
  • Sleep with your head elevated the first night if swelling occurs
  • Avoid pressing or massaging treated areas unless advised

Most clients look refreshed and photo-ready within a few days.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

Most HA fillers last 6 to 12 months, while CaHA and poly-L-lactic acid fillers may last up to 18 to 24 months. The longevity depends on:

  • Type of filler
  • Injection area
  • Your metabolism
  • Lifestyle factors

To maintain your look, touch-up appointments can be scheduled as needed.
