Restore youthful volume and brighten your face with dermal fillers. At MDCS Dermatology, Kim Gerin, PA-C offers expert treatments for cheeks and under-eyes, lifting contours, and creating natural, refreshed results for a confident new year.

The start of a new year is the perfect time to refresh your look and restore youthful volume. Subtle changes in the cheeks and under-eye area can dramatically brighten the face, reduce tiredness, and enhance natural contours. At MDCS Dermatology, our providers specialize in personalized dermal filler treatments to achieve natural, balanced results. Kim Gerin, PA-C is an expert in facial aesthetics who carefully tailors filler placement to complement your features and achieve refreshed, harmonious results.

Why Cheeks and Under-Eyes Benefit from Fillers
As we age, facial fat naturally diminishes, leading to hollowing under the eyes and flattening of the cheeks. This volume loss can make the face appear tired or older. Dermal fillers:

  • Restore lost volume in the mid-face and under-eye area

  • Smooth hollows and tear troughs, reducing shadows and dark circles

  • Lift and contour cheeks for a subtle, youthful shape

With the right technique, fillers provide natural enhancement without looking overdone.

Types of Fillers Commonly Used

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are commonly used for cheeks and under eyes because they:

  • Add hydration and plumpness

  • Are reversible if needed

  • Provide gradual, natural-looking improvement

Kim Gerin, PA-C assesses skin type, volume loss, and facial symmetry to determine the best product and placement for optimal results.

Treatment Benefits and What to Expect

  • Immediate results: You can often see improvement right after treatment

  • Minimal downtime: Mild swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within days

  • Subtle, natural enhancement: Filler restores youthful contours without drastic changes

Dermal fillers can also be combined with other treatments like Botox, laser resurfacing, or chemical peels for a comprehensive facial refresh.

Preparing for Your New Year Refresh

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications or alcohol prior to treatment as advised by your provider

  • Discuss prior treatments, allergies, or medical history with Kim Gerin, PA-C

  • Plan your appointment to allow a few days for any swelling to subside before important events or photos
