Brentwood, TN
Volume, Structure, and Support
Small changes in facial volume can shift the balance of your features long before you feel ready for cosmetic surgery. Dermal fillers offer a controlled way to soften those changes while keeping your expressions and facial character intact. Franklin Skin and Laser provides dermal fillers near Brentwood, TN, from our physician-led office near Cool Springs. Each treatment plan accounts for your facial anatomy, skin health, and preferences, with an emphasis on natural-looking results.
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Many injectable dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a moisture-binding substance found in the skin and connective tissues. Other products use calcium-based microspheres to add volume and stimulate collagen production. These gel-like substances are injected beneath the skin to support facial structure or soften a specific treatment area. Certain fillers move well with facial expression, while denser formulas can provide structure through the cheeks, chin, or jawline. Franklin Skin and Laser uses FDA-approved dermal fillers from the RHA®, Juvéderm®, and Radiesse® collections.
A customized filler treatment may provide:
Injectable fillers can treat one focused concern or contribute to comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
From Lips to Jawline
Product choice and injection depth vary across the face. Your provider will select a filler based on the movement, skin thickness, and support required in each area.
Fillers can restore full, natural-looking volume to your lips, sharpen their borders, and smooth vertical lip lines. Softer, flexible formulas also blend smoothly around the mouth to ease smile and marionette lines without feeling heavy or stiff.
As time goes on, natural cheek volume gradually shifts downward, which can leave the midface looking slightly flat. Adding filler here lifts and defines the cheeks, restoring smooth, youthful contours from the lower eyelids down.
Targeted hyaluronic acid fillers soften hollow tear troughs and reduce the shadows that make you look tired. Because the under-eye skin is especially delicate, we carefully evaluate the area to ensure a precise, gentle approach.
A few strategic injections can enhance chin projection and sculpt a firmer, more defined jawline. We often select stronger, denser formulas here to provide clean structural support and bring overall harmony to your profile.
Matching Texture With Structure
Having access to several filler families allows our providers to match the product’s texture and strength to your facial features.
RHA fillers are hyaluronic acid fillers formulated to adapt to facial movement. RHA 2 may be used for mild to moderate lines, while RHA 3 offers more support for facial folds. RHA 4 can address deeper wrinkles and volume loss, and RHA Redensity™ can soften fine lines around the mouth.
Juvéderm offers several hyaluronic acid formulas for the lips, cheeks, chin, facial folds, and under-eye area. VOLUMA® XC provides structural support through the cheeks and chin, while VOLLURE® XC can soften nasolabial folds. Juvéderm XC and Ultra Plus XC address lip volume and deeper facial wrinkles. VOLBELLA® XC offers subtle correction for the lips, vertical lip lines, and selected under-eye concerns.
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite soft tissue filler that provides immediate contour while encouraging collagen production. It may be recommended for the cheeks, chin, jawline, or backs of the hands when added structure and collagen support are part of the plan.
Assessing Your Skin
Dermal fillers may be appropriate if you want to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, enhance lip volume, or refine facial contours without surgery. Candidates should be in stable health and have realistic expectations about the degree and duration of correction. Treatment may need to wait if you have an active infection, an acne breakout, a cold sore, or irritation near the injection site. Pregnancy, nursing, certain allergies, medications, and a history of complications with filler injections may also affect candidacy. Sagging skin that has lost significant support may respond better to another treatment.
Precision at Every Step
Your appointment begins with an assessment of your face at rest and in motion. Your provider will review your facial structure, discuss the changes you want to make, and create a customized treatment plan covering the product, amount, and placement technique.
A topical anesthetic may be applied before treatment. Many hyaluronic acid fillers also contain lidocaine for added comfort. Your provider then places small amounts of filler into the selected tissue plane to restore volume or enhance contours. Franklin Skin and Laser also offers ultrasound-guided filler placement when it provides useful information for the treatment. Real-time imaging can help the provider view tissue layers, assess existing filler, identify relevant anatomy, and guide placement in selected areas.
Time to Settle
Most patients return to work and other routine activities after this outpatient procedure. Mild bruising, swelling, redness, or tenderness can develop around the injection site and often improves within several days. Avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, excessive heat, and pressure on the treated area during the first 24 hours. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by Franklin Skin and Laser, and do not massage the area unless your provider recommends it.
Immediate Volume, Settled Results
Hyaluronic acid fillers and Radiesse add visible volume at the time of treatment. Early swelling can affect the initial appearance, so allow about two weeks for the treatment area to settle before assessing the outcome. Results may last from six months to two years, based on the filler, treatment area, amount placed, and your metabolism. Areas with frequent movement may require maintenance sooner.
Planning for Your Injectables
Dermal filler cost depends on the product, number of syringes, and areas treated. A focused lip treatment may require less product than cheek, chin, jawline, or full-face correction. You’ll receive a detailed estimate during your consultation. If ultrasound guidance is recommended, our team will explain how it factors into your treatment plan and pricing.
Volume vs. Muscle Movement
Dermal fillers replace lost volume and support facial contours. Botox relaxes selected facial muscles that contribute to forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Many patients receive both injectable treatments as part of one facial rejuvenation plan. Fillers can address static lines and volume loss while Botox reduces creasing caused by muscle movement.

Physician-Led Care Near Brentwood
Filler treatment requires an understanding of facial anatomy, product behavior, proportion, and movement. Franklin Skin and Laser’s licensed providers build each plan around your features, selecting the filler and placement technique needed for balanced correction. Our independent, physician-led practice has served Middle Tennessee since 2006. Patients from Brentwood visit our Franklin office for experienced injectable treatments, ultrasound-guided placement when appropriate, and recommendations that respect their natural appearance.
FDA-approved fillers have established uses for specific areas of the face, though every medical procedure carries risk. Common reactions include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, itching, and firmness.
Rare but serious complications can occur if filler enters a blood vessel, including skin necrosis, vision changes, stroke, or permanent scarring. Contact the practice at once if you develop unusual pain, pale or discolored skin, vision changes, facial weakness, or another symptom that concerns you after treatment.
Ultrasound provides added anatomical information but does not remove every risk associated with dermal filler injections.
The amount depends on your facial anatomy, treatment areas, and desired degree of correction. A focused lip treatment may use one syringe, while broader facial balancing can require several syringes placed across one or more appointments.
Hyaluronic acid fillers may be treated with hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid. The degree of correction can vary, and additional treatment may be needed. Radiesse cannot be dissolved with hyaluronidase.
Filler can create a natural appearance when the product, amount, and placement suit your facial structure. Franklin Skin and Laser takes a measured approach, adding volume where it supports your features without overwhelming them.
Dermal fillers can be combined with Botox, Morpheus8, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels as part of comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Some procedures need to be spaced apart to reduce inflammation and protect the treatment area.
Maintenance timing depends on the filler, treatment area, and how your body processes the product. Your provider may recommend another appointment once facial volume begins to decrease or lines become more visible.
