Nonsurgical facial rejuvenation has opened the door for millions of men and women to maintain the youthful appearance they want without disrupting their busy schedule. In our Cincinnati office, dermal fillers play an essential role in helping our patients manage their aging process.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable products that we use strategically to reduce common signs of aging such as nasolabial folds and deflated cheeks and lips. As we age, the fat pads beneath the skin break down. It’s important to realize that the natural decline of collagen robs superficial tissues of the firmness needed to support taut, smooth facial contours.
Decreased firmness is compounded by the deterioration of the fatty tissue that lies deeper beneath the surface. In addition, collagen loss and fat depletion can create an illusion of facial atrophy. The introduction of appropriate dermal fillers helps to reduce this illusion by adding volume to areas that lost it.
Candidates For Injectable Fillers in Cincinnati
Generally speaking, adults of all ages can be good candidates for dermal fillers in Cincinnati, OH. We treat women as well as men in their twenties up to their senior years.

Men and women concerned with the appearance of their lips, cheeks, and eyes are also good candidates for this convenient injectable treatment.

Types Of Dermal Fillers In Cincinnati, OH
At Dr. Krummen’s office, she offers a variety of dermal fillers including:
Juvéderm Voluma:
Juvéderm Voluma® XC was the first injectable gel to gain approval from the FDA for the correction of mid-face volume loss. This product can be introduced into any part of the cheek to add volume where it will create beneficial improvement. Results from Voluma hyaluronic acid treatment are immediate and can last up to two years.
Juvéderm Volbella:
Volbella is a hyaluronic acid product that belongs to the Juvéderm family. This filler has been specially formulated to enhance not only the shape of the lips, but also to add fullness, improve symmetry, and decrease the signs of aging that occur around the mouth. Like other Juvéderm products, Volbella is made with Vycross technology that maximizes the natural look, feel, and longevity of results. A touch of lidocaine in the solution makes Volbella a comfortable way to augment your lips. Improvement can be seen immediately and lasts up to one year.
Juvéderm Vollure:
Juvéderm Vollure has been developed specifically for the correction of the signs of aging on the lower face. This innovative hyaluronic acid product, made with Vycross technology, increase structural support to the lower face. Vollure is also commonly used to help reduce the appearance of nasolabial folds around the nose and mouth. It is also appropriate for the treatment of marionette lines between the mouth and chin. Treatment takes just a few minutes and it aided by a small amount of lidocaine. Clinical studies suggest that the results from Vollure treatment can last up to 18 months.
Juvéderm Ultra
Juvéderm is one of the most well-known and highly-regarded dermal fillers available today. Uses for Juvéderm Ultra XC include the correction of marionette lines, nasolabial folds, undereye puffiness, and thin or deflated lips. This product can also restore youthful contours by replacing volume in appropriate regions of the face using hyaluronic acid and lidocaine for comfort. As the product naturally deteriorates, we perform touch up treatments every 9 to 12 months.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus:
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC also introduces hyaluronic acid beneath the skin, and also contains lidocaine. Where Ultra Plus differs from Juvéderm Ultra is in the consistency of the product. Because Ultra Plus is a thicker gel filler, it offers strong support for the mid-face and the correction of moderate to severe volume loss. Results of Ultra Plus treatment typically last from 9 months to one year.
Radiesse
Radiesse is an established dermal filler that has been used around the world for several years to correct volume loss in the face. This product is a viscous gel consisting of Calcium Hydroxyapatite (CaHA). The tiny CaHA spheres form new framework beneath the skin to plump and raise superficial facial tissue. For example, some of the common uses of Radiesse include augmenting the chin and jawline, restoring volume to the cheeks, plumping lines and hollows, and treating undereye puffiness and dark circles. Results from Radiesse treatment can last 18 to 24 months.
