Restore & Sculpt: Inside Paragon's Dermal Filler Expertise
Restore youthful volume and enhance facial contours with advanced hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. As we age, our face naturally loses volume in key areas – creating hollows, deepening folds, and diminishing definition. Dermal fillers strategically replace this lost volume while enhancing your natural features, delivering immediate, visible results that look refreshed and authentic. Each treatment is artfully administered by our expert providers, designed to create balanced, age-defying outcomes that reflect your true vitality.

Volume, Contour
and Youthful Vitality
At Paragon Sports Medicine, we understand that aging affects more than just surface wrinkles – it's about structural volume loss that changes facial proportions. Dermal fillers offer sophisticated, non-surgical restoration by replacing the hyaluronic acid that diminishes naturally over time. When strategically placed by skilled hands, these gel-based injectables restore three-dimensional facial volume, lift sagging tissue, and sculpt refined contours. The result is not an overfilled or artificial appearance, but a naturally refreshed version of yourself with restored facial harmony, improved skin quality, and the balanced proportions of youth.

Your Blueprint for
Facial Rejuvenation
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers work through multiple mechanisms to restore youthful facial architecture. The science is both sophisticated and natural:
Volume Restoration
Hyaluronic acid-based gels replace lost tissue volume beneath the skin's surface, lifting and filling areas that have become hollow or sunken with age.
Hydration & Plumping
Hyaluronic acid naturally attracts and binds water molecules – up to 1,000 times its weight – creating immediate fullness while improving skin hydration and quality.
Structural Support
Fillers provide scaffolding that lifts sagging tissue, smooths deep folds and creases, and restores the facial contours that diminish over time.
Collagen Stimulation
Some advanced fillers trigger your body's natural collagen production, creating progressive improvement in skin thickness and elasticity over months.
Immediate, Long-Lasting Results
Effects are visible immediately after injection, with continued improvement over 2-4 weeks as the filler settles and any minor swelling resolves.


Filler Applications: From Age-Related
Volume Loss to Facial Enhancement
Whether you're addressing the natural volume depletion that comes with aging or enhancing features that have always been less defined, dermal fillers provide versatile, immediate solutions. Clinical evidence demonstrates that hyaluronic acid fillers not only restore lost volume but can actually improve skin quality over time through hydration and biostimulation. Unlike surgical procedures that require weeks of recovery, fillers deliver instant results with minimal downtime. Most patients see optimal outcomes within 2 weeks as any initial swelling subsides. Results typically last 6-18 months depending on the product used, treatment area, and individual metabolism, with many patients maintaining their refreshed appearance through periodic maintenance treatments.

Immediate, Visible Results
Unlike treatments that take weeks to show effects, filler results are instantly visible. You'll see improved volume, smoother contours, and enhanced definition immediately after treatment.
Non-Surgical & Minimal Downtime
An office procedure requiring no general anesthesia, incisions, or surgical recovery. Most patients return to work and social activities within 24-48 hours with only minor swelling or bruising.
Naturally Reversible & Adjustable
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if needed using a simple enzyme injection, offering peace of mind. Results can also be adjusted or enhanced at follow-up appointments.
Biocompatible & Safe
Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in your body. These FDA-approved fillers have an excellent safety profile with millions of treatments performed worldwide annually.
Long-Lasting But Not Permanent

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
About Dermal Fillers
At Paragon, we prioritize natural enhancement over dramatic transformation. NP Jordan Carney and Dr. Ched Garten bring extensive training in facial anatomy and aesthetic proportions, using advanced techniques to achieve subtle, balanced results. We take time to understand not just what you want to change, but how each treatment area relates to your overall facial harmony. Our conservative approach means we'd rather slightly under-correct and allow you to add more than over-fill initially. The Paragon difference is visible in results that look refreshed and proportionate – where people notice you look great but can't pinpoint exactly what changed.
We offer premium hyaluronic acid fillers including Juvéderm, Restylane, and RHA collections. Each family has products formulated for specific areas and purposes. For example, softer fillers work beautifully in lips, while more robust products provide structure for cheeks and jawline. RHA fillers are designed for areas of high movement like around the mouth. During consultation, your provider will recommend the optimal product based on your treatment areas, tissue characteristics, and desired outcomes. All our fillers are FDA-approved with proven safety and efficacy.
Treatment time varies by the number of areas addressed, typically ranging from 30-45 minutes. This includes consultation, marking, preparation, injection, and immediate assessment. Unlike surgical procedures requiring hours in the operating room, you can often schedule filler treatments during an extended lunch break.
Most patients experience only mild discomfort. We apply topical numbing cream before treatment, and most modern fillers contain lidocaine anesthetic within the product itself. Many patients describe the sensation as pressure or a slight pinch. Areas like lips may be more sensitive, but the discomfort is brief and very manageable. We also offer additional numbing options for particularly sensitive patients.
This depends on your treatment areas, degree of volume loss, and aesthetic goals. Some patients achieve their desired outcome with 1 syringe, while comprehensive facial rejuvenation might require 3-6 syringes placed strategically across multiple areas. During consultation, your provider will develop a personalized treatment plan with volume recommendations. Many patients start with priority areas and add more over subsequent sessions, allowing gradual, natural-looking enhancement.
Results are immediately visible, though you may have minor swelling or bruising initially. Final results appear within 2 weeks as the filler settles and any swelling resolves. Duration varies by product and placement: lips (6-9 months), nasolabial folds (9-12 months), cheeks (12-18 months). Individual factors like metabolism, activity level, and the amount injected also affect longevity. Most patients schedule maintenance treatments every 9-15 months to maintain results.
Absolutely. In fact, the best results often come from combining treatments strategically. Neurotoxins smooth dynamic wrinkles while fillers restore volume – together they address different aging mechanisms for comprehensive rejuvenation. Fillers also complement PRP facials, laser treatments, and medical-grade skincare. Your provider can design an integrated treatment plan that addresses all your aesthetic concerns in the most efficient, cost-effective way.
When performed by experienced providers, dermal fillers are very safe. Common side effects are mild and temporary: swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at injection sites lasting 3-7 days. Rare complications include prolonged swelling, asymmetry, lumps (usually massaged out easily), or vascular compromise (extremely rare with proper technique and anatomical knowledge). We minimize risks through meticulous injection technique, thorough anatomical knowledge, and careful product selection. During consultation, we'll review your complete medical history and discuss all potential risks.
Ideal candidates are adults experiencing age-related volume loss or those seeking facial feature enhancement. You should be in good general health with realistic expectations about outcomes. Fillers are not recommended if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, have active skin infections in treatment areas, or certain autoimmune conditions. The best way to determine candidacy is through a personalized consultation where your provider can assess your facial anatomy and discuss whether fillers align with your goals.
Not with the Paragon approach. The overfilled "pillow face" look results from poor technique, excessive volume, or treating the wrong areas. Our providers are trained in facial aesthetics and proportion – we enhance your natural features rather than creating artificial fullness. Our philosophy emphasizes strategic placement of appropriate volumes to restore youthful contours while maintaining your unique facial character. You should look like a refreshed version of yourself, not like a different person.
