The fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume that come with age are often manageable without the need for facial plastic surgery. Dermal fillers provide an effective and often long-lasting remedy for the symptoms of facial aging as well as for lip augmentation. We offer a range of dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® at our Boston, Hingham, and Nantucket medspa locations to meet the unique needs of our patients.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.

This expertise enables our team to customize treatments based on the needs of each patient, getting natural-looking, long-lasting results in procedures that can be completed in less than 15 minutes.
With impeccable credentials and a personable bedside manner, Dr. Dax gives his patients confidence and peace of mind from their initial consultations through follow-up appointments. He established his boutique private practice in 2012 and is among the best plastic surgeons in the Boston area.

Dermal fillers come in a variety of formulations designed for conditions of varying degrees. Dr. Dax will work closely with you to determine which filler or fillers will work best for your particular needs. We offer the following injectable dermal fillers:
JUVÉDERM®: Popular in Boston, the JUVÉDERM family of injectable gels includes JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus®, VOLBELLA®, and VOLUMA®; all are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). These fillers are designed to smooth away moderate to severe lines and wrinkles, such as nasolabial folds, “kissing lines” around the mouth, and hollows under the eyes. They can also be used for lip augmentation or to add volume to cheeks.
Restylane® Products: The Restylane family of injectable gels (such as Refyne®) are also made with HA, and are well suited to dynamic wrinkles around the mouth where more elasticity is important. The noticeable appearance of the product is diminished, and the fillers work synergistically with your expressions for a very natural-looking result.
RADIESSE®: This gel is made from calcium hydroxylapatite, which, like HA, is a substance naturally found in the body. It is useful for treating very deep nasolabial folds and restoring volume that’s been lost in the hands, thereby diminishing the aged appearance of large veins and tendons. Results generally last longer than those of similar fillers, and RADIESSE also acts to stimulate the production of collagen.
Sculptra® Aesthetic: Sculptra uses poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate the production of collagen, which gives skin a smooth, youthful appearance. It is useful for restoring volume to all areas of the face, and may also be used as a nonsurgical alternative for augmenting other areas of the body. Generally, fillers are injected beneath the skin using very fine needles, and a local anesthetic can be used to alleviate any pain. The injections are performed in the office, and patients can return to their normal daily activities soon after treatment.
Lip injections are popular with adults of all ages who want to enhance their appearance instantly.
It’s common to be unclear about the difference between dermal fillers and neuromodulators like BOTOX and Dysport® because they are both injectable treatments used for facial rejuvenation. Here are some differences:
Many patients benefit from a combination of these treatments, sometimes called a liquid facelift, to more completely address facial aging than either treatment on its own. Read this blog post to learn more about the differences between fillers and neuromodulators.
The InstaLift is a treatment option that creates an immediate lifted appearance and gradually adds volume by promoting the growth of new collagen. For women and men who want a refreshed appearance that looks natural without the downtime associated with facial plastic surgery, the InstaLift is an excellent option. During the minimally invasive procedure, Dr. Dax inserts dissolvable sutures with tiny cones under the skin in order to reposition and physically lift areas of the face. The procedure, which takes about 45 minutes to an hour and a half (depending on the areas treated), provides immediate results. And, as the material dissolves, it stimulates the body’s own collagen production for a plump and refreshed effect that some patients see last a year or more.
No significant downtime is needed after these minimally invasive treatments; however, you may experience temporary tenderness, redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites.
For optimal results, be sure to follow the post-procedure care instructions we give you after your filler injections, which include the following:
The length of time dermal filler results last differs with each filler and area treated. Many patients will see immediate results that may last for more than 2 years. Daily use of prescription-strength skincare products can enhance and even prolong results.
The best age for adults to start filler treatments depends on their personal preferences. Many young adults get lip injections as their first filler treatments. People in their mid-to-late 30s and older choose fillers to correct signs of aging such as facial volume loss on the cheeks and around the eyes, smile lines, and other wrinkles. We encourage you to set up a consultation to find out if fillers could give you the changes you want.
These treatments provide different benefits so the “best” one depends on your cosmetic goals. JUVÉDERM adds and replaces volume in the face and lips. BOTOX smooths out crow’s feet, frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles by stopping facial muscle contractions.
Filler results are best maintained with regular touch-up treatments when you notice your concerns returning. Most patients follow a regular schedule with us that varies with their specific fillers, areas treated, and how quickly their body breaks down their fillers.
By choosing the right filler for the job and using a refined technique, our providers create filler results that look beautiful yet very natural.
Yes. We can dissolve hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane with a few quick injections if you don’t like your results or change your mind.
