Dermal Fillers in Denver, CO
Residents of the Rocky Mountain region love spending time outdoors, regardless of the season. That exposure to the sun and elements — along with the natural aging process — can take its toll on our faces, leading to wrinkles, lines and a loss of volume associated with a more youthful appearance.
At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of dermal fillers in Denver and surrounding areas. We also offer a liquid facelift, which includes a combination of treatments for maximum facial rejuvenation. Facial fillers are excellent aesthetic treatments for all ages and skin types. When injected at key aging sites in the face, fillers reduce signs of aging and create a smoother, fuller appearance. Dermal fillers can also improve your facial symmetry, boosting your confidence in your overall appearance.
Our skilled injectors have extensive experience in this minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment. Many of our nurses received personalized filler training from our own Dr. Keith Ladner, board-certified plastic surgeon and trainer for Galderma, the company that makes Restylane fillers.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are specialized cosmetic injections used to restore volume, soften lines and smooth wrinkles, and, in certain cases, allow the body to stimulate natural collagen production to enhance the face’s natural contours. The result is a nonsurgical way to achieve youthful, radiant skin and a more symmetrical face.
The active ingredient in most fillers, such as Restylane products, is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a clear, gel-like substance naturally produced by your body to help the skin retain water. Fillers are formulated using advanced technology to look and feel natural. Once injected, fillers assimilate with your skin’s tissue. Our fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic that helps patients remain comfortable
Who Is a Good Candidate for Fillers?
Cosmetic injectable treatments such as fillers and neuromodulators like BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are the world’s most popular nonsurgical aesthetic procedures. They are the ideal solution for women and men who aren’t ready for facial plastic surgery but who believe that early signs of aging make them appear older or tired.
If you struggle with any of the following concerns, filler injections may be the right option for you:
- Dark circles
- Prominent hollows beneath the eyes
- Nasolabial folds around the mouth, also called smile or laugh lines
- Marionette lines and chin wrinkles
- Flattened or hollow cheeks
- Facial asymmetry
We can tailor these treatments and recommend specific fillers after listening to your concerns and examining the quality of your skin.
What Is a ‘Liquid Facelift’?
If you want to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and aging without surgery, Ladner Plastic Surgery offers liquid facelifts as part of our facial rejuvenation procedures. This treatment combines dermal fillers with BOTOX® cosmetic, Dysport or other bio stimulators to restore facial fullness and improve signs of aging in specific areas of the face, such as crow’s feet and worry lines.
A liquid facelift is sometimes called a lunchtime lift because this treatment can be done in a single session, usually taking 60 minutes or less. The time estimate varies depending on your unique goals and the number of treatment areas. We can customize the procedure to treat specific aesthetic concerns.
Your liquid facelift results can last up to two years, with occasional filler touchups as needed.
We recommend our liquid facelift procedure to patients with mild to moderate lines and wrinkles. For more severe lines and skin that has lost much of its elasticity, speak with Dr. Ladner to learn about a surgical facelift.
What Dermal Filler Is Right for You?
The latest generation of dermal fillers is much more specialized than their predecessors. It used to be that a single filler was a workhorse and was used to treat multiple concerns. Fillers today are formulated for use in specific areas, such as the cheeks, lips, or around the mouth. That’s why it’s important to choose an injector with the expertise to match a specific filler to your specific concerns.

Fillers We Offer
At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer a variety of dermal fillers depending on your needs and individual goals. Each injectable filler can address moderate to severe wrinkles or folds with results that last up to a year.
When you meet with one of our experienced injectors, we can discuss your desired outcome and help you choose the right fillers to achieve these results.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra works differently than many other fillers and is suitable for patients of all ages. It produces results that emerge gradually but are more long-lasting because it stimulates collagen production. It is made using a substance called poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biologically compatible and biodegradable material that the body absorbs over time.
Dr. Ladner uses Sculptra to correct shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that appear as our skin produces less and less collagen as we get older. Schedule your Sculptra filler treatment in Denver to experience these natural-looking results.
Frequently Asked Questions
At Ladner Facial Plastic Surgery, we want you to feel comfortable asking as many questions as you need before a procedure. Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Are dermal filler injections painful?
All of our fillers are pre-mixed with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that reduces discomfort during injections. In more sensitive treatment areas, such as the lips, our injectors may apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
Are dermal fillers safe?
Fillers approved by the FDA have an excellent track record for safety, and serious complications are extremely rare. As with any cosmetic treatment, choosing an experienced, qualified injector is crucial in ensuring the procedure’s safety.
What is the best age to get fillers?
Even though fillers are often considered an anti-wrinkle treatment, many patients in their 20s get filler injections to enhance the symmetry and contours of specific facial features, such as the lips, cheeks, and chin. If you’re bothered by wrinkles, lines, facial asymmetry, or the contours of certain facial features, that is a more important factor when considering dermal fillers than age.

What’s the best dermal filler?
With the development of specialized fillers formulated to treat specific areas, you now have many more options than ever. The “best” filler for you will be the one that helps you meet your aesthetic goals. During your consultation, our injectors can recommend a specific dermal filler to fit your needs.
What happens if I stop getting fillers?
The aging process continues even when you get fillers, and it’s no different if you decide to stop getting injections. Putting the brakes on fillers does not accelerate the aging process. Some people choose to get more long-lasting results through facial plastic surgery.
