Dermal Fillers
At M&W Aesthetics and Wellness in Chino, CA, we believe true elegance is seen in the details. Dermal fillers are an essential tool in our commitment to help both men and women look and feel their most vital. As we age, the structural components of the face naturally diminish, leading to hollows, shadows, and static lines. Our approach uses fillers not just to fill, but to strategically restore foundational volume and contour, resulting in a naturally refreshed and sophisticated appearance. This is injectable excellence, rooted in medical integrity and delivered through a luxurious patient experience.
Injectable Gel (Hyaluronic Acid)
Minimal; potential for bruising or swelling for 2–7 days
Immediate, with continued refinement over 2 weeks
Typically 6 months to over 2 years (varies by product and area)
Restoring lost facial volume and softening lines visible at rest
Dermal fillers are smooth, injectable gels, most often composed of a substance naturally found in the body, such as hyaluronic acid. These materials are strategically placed beneath the skin to supplement volume lost in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and jawline.
Unlike Botox, which treats dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, fillers target static wrinkles—lines and folds visible when the face is at rest. By adding structure and volume, fillers lift and smooth the overlying skin, correcting shadows and creating a more youthful and harmonious facial contour.
The treatment takes place in the comfort and privacy of our luxurious Chino clinic.
To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Your provider then uses ultra-fine needles or cannulas to meticulously inject the filler, often pausing to assess the contour and volume as the product is placed. While the procedure involves injections, it is generally very well tolerated. We provide a mirror throughout the process so you can be involved in the gradual, artful refinement of your appearance.
Dermal fillers primarily address the visible signs of volume loss and the resulting static wrinkles and shadows that occur with aging.
These include deep facial folds, such as nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) and marionette lines (lines from the mouth corners downward). They also correct the hollowing in the temples and midface, which contributes to a tired or aged appearance. By restoring foundational support, fillers counteract the effects of gravity and bone resorption.
Our medical providers possess a deep understanding of facial anatomy and the principles of aesthetic proportion. We treat the face as a whole, focusing on where volume restoration will provide the most natural support and balance.
The M&W approach ensures that both men and women receive a plan customized to their unique bone structure and aging pattern. We avoid an overfilled appearance, prioritizing a subtle, refined look that complements your overall profile and enhances your natural confidence.
Our expertise ensures precision in product choice and placement for the most elegant outcome.
Dermal fillers are highly versatile and are used to address volume loss and static wrinkles across the face and hands.
Common treatment areas include:
Dermal fillers are an excellent option for healthy men and women, generally aged 30 to 60, who are seeking to address volume loss, static lines, and loss of facial definition without undergoing surgery. It is suitable for most skin types. It may not be appropriate for individuals with active skin infections, certain bleeding disorders, or severe allergies. During your consultation, we will review your medical history and aesthetic goals to ensure this advanced treatment aligns with your customized wellness plan and provides realistic expectations.
Recovery from dermal filler treatment requires minimal social downtime. You may experience localized redness, tenderness, or swelling at the injection sites, which is normal and typically subsides within 48 hours. Bruising is possible and can take up to a week to resolve. It is crucial to follow your aftercare instructions: avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat for 24 hours, and refrain from massaging the treated areas. Applying a cool compress can help manage initial swelling.
You will see an immediate change in volume and contour following your dermal filler procedure. The final, refined result becomes fully apparent after the initial swelling subsides, typically within the first two weeks. The longevity of your results depends on the product used and the area treated, lasting anywhere from six months to over two years. To maintain your smooth, youthful contours consistently, we recommend scheduling a follow-up consultation before the results have fully dissipated.

The longevity of fillers varies widely depending on the product used, the area treated, and your individual metabolism. Generally, fillers last anywhere from six months to over two years. Fillers placed in high-movement areas, like the lips, may metabolize faster than those placed in structural areas, like the cheeks. We discuss expected longevity during your consultation.

Absolutely. Injectable treatments are popular for men to address volume loss in the temples and under the eyes, restore definition to the jawline, and soften deep folds. The injection pattern and product choice are tailored to complement a masculine structure, ensuring a strong, defined, and refined appearance.
Yes, they are often combined in a comprehensive treatment plan, as they address different types of wrinkles. Botox treats dynamic lines (movement), and fillers treat static lines (volume loss). Using both creates a complete facial rejuvenation, providing both smoothness and structural support for optimal results.
The cost depends on the type of filler used and the number of syringes required to achieve your personalized aesthetic goals. This is always determined during a thorough consultation once your medical provider has assessed your facial structure and discussed your desired level of refinement.
