Have you ever caught a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and noticed that your reflection doesn’t quite match how you feel inside? The vibrant, energetic person you are can sometimes be overshadowed by visible signs of aging: lines that weren’t there before, a loss of that soft facial fullness, or a contour that seems less defined. While a positive attitude and healthy habits are the true foundation of wellness, sometimes our skin needs a little extra support to reflect our inner vitality.
At Victory Wellness Cincinnati, led by the renowned Dr. Magdalena Kerschner, we understand this desire. We believe in a holistic approach to looking and feeling your best, and dermal fillers are one of the most powerful, precise tools in our anti-aging arsenal. They are not about creating a different you, but about artfully restoring the youthful you.
Understanding the “Why”: How Your Face Naturally Ages
To appreciate how dermal fillers work, it’s helpful to understand what happens beneath the skin. Facial aging is a complex process driven by two key factors:
-
Volume Loss: From our late 20s onward, we naturally lose subcutaneous fat and essential structural proteins like collagen and elastin. This fat is what gives young faces their soft, plump, and rounded appearance. As it diminishes, the skin can begin to look deflated or hollow.
-
Skin and Muscle Changes: Repetitive facial expressions (like smiling or squinting) create lines that become etched over time. Simultaneously, gravity and decreasing skin elasticity lead to descent and sagging.
The result isn’t just wrinkles—it’s a change in the fundamental shape and shadow of your face. Common concerns include:
-
Deep lines running from the nose to the corners of the mouth (nasolabial folds)
-
Thinning lips and lost lip definition
-
Hollowing under the eyes and in the cheeks
-
A less defined jawline and marionette lines
This is where the art and science of dermal fillers come in.
Dermal Fillers Explained: The Foundation of Youthful Volume
Dermal fillers are precisely what the name suggests: gel-like substances carefully injected into targeted areas of the face to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance contours. Think of them as a skilled artist adding subtle highlights and structure to a sculpture.
The most advanced and commonly used fillers today are based on Hyaluronic Acid (HA). This is a sugar molecule that exists naturally in your skin, beloved for its incredible ability to attract and hold onto water—up to 1,000 times its weight. HA fillers provide immediate, natural-looking results and have an excellent safety profile. A key benefit is that they are reversible; if desired, an enzyme can dissolve the filler.
The Victory Wellness Difference: Masterful Artistry Meets Medical Expertise
This is the critical differentiator. While many places offer filler injections, the skill, knowledge, and artistic eye of the injector determine everything. At Victory Wellness Cincinnati, you are in the hands of true experts.
Dr. Magdalena Kerschner is a double board-certified physician (in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Medicine) with advanced certification in Aesthetic Procedural Medicine. She is recognized as a Master Injector, a title earned through extensive training, deep anatomical knowledge, and a refined artistic sense. This medical background is paramount—she understands the complex layers of facial anatomy, vascular structures, and how to achieve balanced, harmonious results that look beautifully natural, not “overdone.”
As one satisfied patient, Cookie, shared in a testimonial: “Fantastic experience!! I would give 10 stars!!!” This level of satisfaction stems from a process built on trust, education, and exceptional skill.
A Guide to Common Treatment Areas: What Fillers Can Address
During your personalized consultation at our Milford office, Dr. Kerschner will assess your facial structure, listen to your goals, and recommend a tailored plan. Here’s how dermal fillers can address specific age-related concerns:
-
Lip Enhancement & Rejuvenation: Fillers can restore volume to thinning lips, redefine the lip border (vermilion line) that softens with age, and smooth vertical lip lines. The goal is a natural, supple fullness.
-
Cheek Augmentation: By strategically placing filler in the mid-face, we can restore lifted, youthful cheek volume that combats the drawn look of aging and softens nasolabial folds.
-
Tear Trough Correction: Carefully placed, very fine filler in the under-eye area can minimize the appearance of hollows and dark shadows, reducing a tired look.
-
Smoothing Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines: These deeper lines that frame the mouth respond beautifully to filler, which softens their appearance by lifting and supporting the surrounding tissue.
-
Jawline and Chin Contouring: Fillers can strengthen a receding chin, enhance jawline definition, and create a more balanced, sculpted facial profile.
The Treatment Experience: What to Expect
The process at Victory Wellness is designed for your comfort and confidence:
-
Consultation: This is the most important step. We discuss your goals, review your medical history, and create a custom plan.
-
Preparation: The treatment areas are cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is often applied to ensure maximum comfort.
-
The Injection: Using ultra-fine needles or cannulas, Dr. Kerschner precisely places the filler. The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes.
-
Immediate Results & Aftercare: You will see results instantly, though there may be initial mild swelling or bruising. We provide clear aftercare instructions. The results are long-lasting but not permanent, typically enduring from 9 months to 2 years, depending on the product and area treated.
Beyond Fillers: A Comprehensive Approach to Anti-Aging
At Victory Wellness Cincinnati, we believe in offering complete solutions. Dermal fillers are often combined with other treatments in our curated medspa menu for synergistic, comprehensive rejuvenation. We are proud to be known as “The #1 Anti-Aging Clinic” in the region.
Our other premier services include:
-
Botox / Neurotoxins: The perfect partner to fillers. While fillers add volume, Botox relaxes the dynamic muscles that cause frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. As patient Joey noted, these treatments can even be used for amazing therapeutic benefits: “I have gotten rid of my migraines with help of Victory Wellness.”
-
Collagen-Boasting Treatments: We offer advanced technologies like Scarlet RF, which combines microneedling and radiofrequency to rebuild your skin’s own collagen from within, improving texture, tightness, and fine lines.
-
Agnes RF: This radiofrequency treatment can sculpt and contour the face, neck, and chin by stimulating collagen and elastin for a lifted, non-surgical result.
-
Bio-Identical Hormone Therapy: True anti-aging starts from within. Hormone imbalances can severely impact skin quality, energy, and weight. Our personalized hormone therapy helps restore balance, putting “the roar back in your life.”
-
Body Contouring: Complete your transformation with treatments like CoolSculpting, a non-invasive procedure that eliminates stubborn fat cells by freezing them.
