Dermal Fillers in Miami, FL
Sculpting the Face Is an Art Form
Dermal fillers are a category of injectables that encompasses several types of products, each suited to a different type of volume loss or contour goal. Patients in Miami want results that look natural and refined — enhancing their features rather than changing them — which is exactly why they come to board-certified dermatologist Chloe Goldman, MD, FAAD. Dr. Chloe Goldman evaluates each patient’s specific deficits before recommending a filler, since choosing the right product matters as much as the injection technique itself. It’s for this reason that a cosmetics consultation is an integral part of every dermal filler treatment.
Types of Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers (including Juvéderm®, Restylane®, Teoxane RHA®)
The most commonly used dermal filler injections, prized for immediate, natural-looking results and the ability to be dissolved if a patient's needs change.
Radiesse® (calcium hydroxylapatite)
Provides immediate volume correction while stimulating the body's own collagen production over time.
Where Fillers Are Used
Cheeks
Restoring volume lost to aging, sun damage, or significant weight loss over time.
Temples
Addressing subtle hollowing that happens gradually with age, yet the correction of this deficit takes years off.
Lips
Lip enhancement injections for subtle or more noticeable fullness, tailored to each patient's proportions.
Jawline
Jawline contouring filler for improved definition, structure, and a more balanced facial profile.
Depressed scars
Filling in areas where scar tissue has created a visible indentation in the skin's surface.
Hands
Restoring lost volume and softening the visible signs of aging on the back of the hands.
Chin
Adding definition and improving facial balance and profile.
Many of the same products can be used to restore volume and refine contour in other areas of the body, including the chest and abdomen.
Choosing the Right Filler
Not every area or concern calls for the same product. Our providers' evaluation for dermal filler treatment considers where volume has been lost, how deep the correction needs to go, and how a patient's skin and tissue respond to different filler types, since a product chosen for depth of placement and texture that doesn't match the treatment area rarely produces a natural-looking result. Hyaluronic acid fillers also differ in their rheological properties — characteristics like viscosity, elasticity, and cohesivity that determine how a gel behaves once it's placed beneath the skin. A filler engineered for higher lift and structure suits areas like the cheeks or jawline, while a softer, more pliable gel moves naturally with expression in areas like the lips. Understanding these differences, rather than defaulting to a single product for every patient, is what allows results to enhance one's natural beauty and facial architecture.
Sculptra® vs. Radiesse®
Sculptra® is often discussed alongside dermal fillers since it addresses similar volume-loss concerns, though it's technically classified as a collagen biostimulator rather than a filler. Radiesse® gives immediate volume plus gradual collagen stimulation as it settles, making it a good fit for patients who want an immediate result. Sculptra® provides no immediate volume (other than fluid and swelling from the injection day) and instead rebuilds collagen gradually over several months, making it better suited to broader volume loss and to patients comfortable with a slower transformation. The two products differ in their suitability for certain anatomic areas and often differ in the aesthetic outcome. Dr. Chloe Goldman evaluates your specific pattern of volume loss to determine which fits best, or whether a combination of both makes sense.
What to Expect During Treatment
Filler injections are performed in-office, often with a topical numbing cream applied beforehand for comfort. Most areas take 30 minutes to treat, with results visible immediately and any initial swelling settling within a few days.
