The Science of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are cutting-edge solutions that address the natural volume loss associated with aging. These innovative treatments can instantly restore youthful contours, smooth deep-set lines, and enhance facial symmetry. Beyond wrinkle reduction, fillers can sculpt cheekbones, define jawlines, plump lips, and even improve the appearance of acne scars.
There are many types of fillers, with the most common (and the type used at Fairview Dermatology) being hyaluronic acid-based which naturally occurs in our skin be declines with age. These fillers are dissolvable, allowing for precise adjustments and reversibility.

The Magic of Volumization
Dermal fillers work by strategically restoring lost volume, effectively 'lifting' and rejuvenating the face from within. This innovative approach results in a natural, refreshed appearance that enhances your unique features without altering your fundamental look.
Our Signature Filler Experience
Your comfort is our priority. We begin each treatment with the application of a high-strength topical anesthetic to ensure a pain-free experience. The filler application process typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Our expert technique, combined with the built-in lidocaine in most fillers, ensures minimal discomfort.
Post-treatment, we provide specialized cooling therapy to minimize swelling and optimize results. You'll see immediate improvements, with minimal downtime. We'll provide you with personalized aftercare instructions to ensure the best possible outcome.
What our patients have to say
I had my filler done today by Dr. Hudson and I have to say it was another super positive experience with him and his amazing staff. I have been getting fillers for a long time, but for the first time ever, zero pain, and a Doctor who listens to what I am looking for PRIOR to the injections. Kudos! While i live in Dallas, Dr. Hudson and his team is worth the drive, and I will be back!

Dr. Hudson is incredible! My husband and I drive from Abilene to have him do our skin checks and for him to do my Botox and he is well worth the drive. Always so pleased with my results and he is very thorough with everything he does. I always appreciate his kindness and positive attitude at each visit & would recommend him to anyone!
- Brenna L.
Excellent care and service. They have, several times, suggested cheaper or easier options when they could have just gotten my money or recommended more expensive or invasive solutions. Dr Hudson and his staff are top notch. I've been to several dermatologists in Fairview/McKinney/Allen and this is the best, and still one of the most reasonably priced.
- Jordan D.
Amazing! Very knowledgeable. I have full faith and trust in his experience and treatments. Had a mole on my face that bothered me for years. Was afraid to have it removed due to scaring. Just talking with him and the way he explains things assured me to allow him to address it. Now you can't tell I ever had a mole on my face. No scars and healed in less than a week. I highly recommend Fairview Dermatology for any of your dermatology needs.

Wow! Dr. Hudson is such a blessing! I just read some of the prior reviews, and I am at a loss for words how I can add anything more. The care I received was unparalleled in my decades of interacting with medical doctors.

Fairview Dermatology has the best dermatologist and staff that my husband and I have ever worked with. From day one Dr. Hudson has always made sure to spend quality time with us, never rushing, answering any and all of our questions, making us feel very comfortable and well informed at each visit. His staff is also very supportive, knowledgeable, and understanding whenever we have needed assistance.Dr. Hudson loves what he does, and it shows the minute he walks in the room. I very highly recommend Fairview Dermatology.

Expert Insights: Dermal Filler FAQs
What facial areas can benefit from dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers offer versatile solutions for various facial concerns:
- Cheeks, jawline, and chin for enhanced facial structure and contouring
- Lips for natural-looking volume and definition
- Tear troughs to brighten and rejuvenate the under-eye area
- Hands to restore youthful fullness
- Targeted areas to improve the appearance of acne scars
How long can I expect my filler results to last?
The longevity of your results depends on the specific filler used and the treated area. Generally, you can expect results to last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. During your consultation, we'll discuss the expected duration for your personalized treatment plan.
How should I prepare for my filler treatment?
To ensure optimal results and minimize bruising, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning substances for a week prior to your appointment. This includes alcohol, NSAIDs like Ibuprofen, Aspirin, and supplements such as Vitamin E. Stay well-hydrated and arrive with a clean face for your appointment.
Is the filler injection process painful?
We prioritize your comfort throughout the treatment. Most patients find the process very tolerable, thanks to our use of topical anesthetics and the lidocaine contained in many fillers. You may feel slight pressure or a pinching sensation, but significant pain is rare.
What is the investment for dermal filler treatments?
The cost of your treatment will depend on the type and amount of filler required, as well as your desired results. During your personalized consultation, we’ll assess your needs and create a customized plan that fits your goals and budget. Flexible options are available for multi-syringe treatments, making it easier to achieve the refreshed, youthful appearance you’re looking for.
What can I expect post-treatment?
After your filler treatment, you'll receive specialized cooling therapy to minimize swelling. We recommend continuing intermittent icing at home. While you can resume most activities immediately, we advise avoiding strenuous exercise and air travel for 24 hours. It's also best to remain upright for at least 6 hours post-treatment. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically subsides within 2-3 days, although it can last up to two weeks.
Are there potential side effects with dermal fillers?
While dermal fillers are generally safe, some patients may experience temporary side effects such as minor bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. These effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. To minimize bruising, avoid blood-thinning substances before your appointment and follow our post-treatment care instructions.
What are the potential risks associated with dermal fillers?
At Fairview Dermatology, patient safety is paramount. While serious complications are extremely rare when fillers are administered by a qualified professional, it's important to be aware of potential risks. These can include infection, nodule formation, vascular occlusion, or in very rare cases, vision changes. Dr. Hudson's extensive knowledge of facial anatomy and advanced injection techniques significantly mitigate these risks.
