How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Dermal fillers replace lost volume under the skin. The most common type of filler uses hyaluronic acid, which attracts water and hydrates the skin. Other fillers, such as poly-L-lactic acid and calcium hydroxyapatite, stimulate collagen to build firmness and keep natural-looking results.
Most Common and Best Filler Brands
What Is the Most Commonly Used Filler?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are the most common. They work well for adding volume, treating nasolabial folds, and smoothing wrinkles. Results show quickly and can be adjusted if needed.
Best Hyaluronic Acid Filler Brands
Popular options include:
- Juvéderm – adds lift to cheeks and deeper folds.
- Restylane – smooths lips and under-eye areas.
- Restylane Lyft – supports deeper wrinkles and restores facial volume.

Collagen-Boosting Fillers
Sculptra and Radiesse stimulate collagen to strengthen skin from within. They’re ideal for the cheeks, temples, and jawline, and also effective when treating Radiesse under the eyes for restoring smoothness and support. These fillers add volume gradually, helping the skin stay firm. Both provide long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Choosing the Right Filler for Natural Results

Soft fillers like RHA and Restylane Refyne move naturally with facial expression. Dr. Kopelman selects fillers based on your skin type and anatomy to create natural-looking results without overfilling.
What Is the Longest Lasting Filler for the Face?
Sculptra and Radiesse last the longest because they stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness. Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane Lyft, offer quick results and flexibility.
Temporary vs. Long-Lasting Options
Short-term fillers like Juvéderm and Restylane work well for first-time patients. Long-term fillers, such as Sculptra and Radiesse, stimulate collagen production and help build firmness over time.
