Have you ever heard someone say that fillers make people look “overdone”? It’s one of the most common myths about injectable treatments. In reality, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are among the safest and most widely used options for adding soft volume and refreshing your appearance. When placed by a skilled injector, they can create results that look smooth, balanced, and completely natural.
At Rodgers Dermatology in Frisco, we’re proud to take part in Allergan Aesthetics’ Naturally You campaign. This effort focuses on changing the way people think about fillers by highlighting what’s truly possible when facts replace fear. Let’s take a closer look at what HA fillers are, why they’re safe, and how you can achieve natural-looking outcomes that enhance your own features.

What Are HA Fillers?
Hyaluronic acid injectable fillers are soft, gel-like products used to restore volume, smooth fine lines, and shape facial contours. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that naturally occurs in your skin and helps it stay hydrated and full.
When injected correctly, HA fillers blend beautifully with your skin tissue, adding subtle lift without changing your natural look. The results appear gradually and can last anywhere from six months to a year and a half, depending on the specific product and area treated. Because HA is biocompatible, your body naturally breaks it down over time.
Popular treatment areas include:
- Cheeks and midface for a lifted appearance
- Lips for gentle enhancement
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines for a smoother look
- Under the eyes to reduce hollowness
Debunking Common Filler Myths
Misinformation spreads easily, and fillers are no exception. Here are a few common misconceptions and the truth behind them.
Myth 1: “Fillers Always Look Fake”
This is one of the biggest reasons people hesitate to try injectables. The truth is, fillers look unnatural only when they’re overused or placed incorrectly. Skilled injectors, like our dermatology team, use precise techniques and an artistic eye to restore balance and harmony to your face. The best filler work enhances your features subtly—you’ll look lifted, refreshed, and hydrated, not “done.”
Myth 2: “Fillers Are Unsafe”
HA fillers are among the most studied aesthetic products available. They are FDA-approved and have a strong safety record when performed by qualified professionals. According to the most recent Hyaluronic Acid Filler Report, millions of HA filler procedures are performed safely each year under professional care. HA itself is a substance your body already produces, which helps explain its excellent safety profile.
Myth 3: “Fillers Are Permanent”
HA fillers are temporary. Your body gradually metabolizes the material, which allows for adjustments over time. This reversibility makes HA fillers a preferred choice for patients who want flexibility and control over their results.
Pro Tip: If you decide to change your look, it’s easy to gradually add more filler as it breaks down, or to completely dissolve any unwanted filler with hyaluronidase.
Naturally You: A Campaign for Confidence
Allergan Aesthetics, the maker of trusted products like the Juvéderm® line, created the Naturally You campaign to help people feel confident about choosing fillers. The goal is to show that aesthetic treatments can highlight your best features without changing who you are.
At Rodgers Dermatology, we share that philosophy. Every treatment plan begins with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, facial structure, and comfort level.

FAQs About HA Fillers
How long do HA fillers last?
Results usually last between six and eighteen months. Longevity depends on the product used, the area treated, and individual metabolism.
Can HA fillers be reversed?
Yes. If adjustments are needed, HA fillers can be safely dissolved using an enzyme called hyaluronidase.
Do filler injections hurt?
Most patients describe mild discomfort. Many filler products include lidocaine, a numbing ingredient that helps make treatment more comfortable. A topical anesthetic can also be used before the procedure.
Is there downtime?
You can return to most normal activities right away. Minor swelling or redness may appear for a day or two, but this usually fades quickly.
