Top 5 Myths About Dermal Fillers—Busted!

Thinking about trying dermal fillers but hesitant because of something you’ve heard? Let’s set the record straight. At Renaissance M.D., we believe in giving you the facts—not the fear. Here are the top 5 myths about fillers (and why they’re totally false):

Myth #1: Fillers will make you look “fake.”Truth: When done correctly by an experienced injector (like our team at Renaissance M.D.), fillers enhance your natural features—not change them. You’ll still look like you, just refreshed.

Myth #2: Fillers are only for older people.Truth: Fillers can be preventative as well as restorative. Many people in their 20s and 30s use them to maintain volume, define their features, or smooth early signs of aging.

Myth #3: Getting fillers is super painful.Truth: Most fillers contain lidocaine, a built-in numbing agent, and we use techniques to keep you comfortable. Most patients say it feels like a little pinch—totally manageable.

Myth #4: Fillers stretch your skin over time.Truth: This is a common misconception. When done properly, fillers can actually stimulate collagen production and support your skin’s structure—not damage it.

Myth #5: Once you start, you can’t stop.Truth: Nope! Fillers naturally break down over time. You’re always in control, and you can decide to stop or adjust treatments at any point.
