Everything you need to know about hyaluronic acid dermal fillers
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers have become one of the most popular ways to enhance natural beauty and achieve a more youthful appearance. If you want to smooth fine lines, add volume to your lips, or restore volume and fullness to your face, dermal fillers might be the perfect solution. At New U Women’s Clinic and Aesthetics, Dr. Rachel Fidino, our double board-certified doctor, has helped countless patients in Kennewick and Yakima, Washington, look and feel their absolute best.
To help you make an informed choice, we’ve answered some of the most common questions about hyaluronic acid dermal fillers to give you more information about these popular treatments:
1. What are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers?
Hyaluronic acid fillers are gel-like substances that are injected right beneath the skin to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Hyaluronic acid is described as a natural substance found in your body, making these fillers safe and highly effective for aesthetic treatments.
2. What areas can dermal fillers treat?
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are incredibly versatile. Common treatment areas include laugh lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, under-eye hollows, cheeks, jawline, and lips. Dr. Rachel Fidino customizes each treatment to address your unique concerns and goals.

4. Is the procedure painful?
Not at all! Most of our hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to minimize any possible discomfort during the procedure. Additionally, Dr. Rachel Fidino takes extra care to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout your appointment. Our patients often describe the feeling as a slight pinch.
5. Are there any side effects?
Most of our patients experience minimal side effects, such as mild swelling, redness, or tenderness around the injection sites. These usually subside within a few days. More serious side effects are considered rare, but Dr. Rachel Fidino discusses all potential risks and answers any questions during your consultation.
6. How soon will I see results?
The results from dermal fillers are almost instant! While some initial swelling is normal, you will notice a difference in volume and smoother skin immediately following your treatment. Full, settled results typically become visible within 1 – 2 weeks.
7. Who is a good candidate for dermal fillers?
If you are in good overall health and looking to enhance your natural facial features or address age-related volume loss, you might be considered a great candidate for dermal fillers. Dr. Rachel Fidino evaluates your goals and medical history to determine the best approach for you.
