Meet Your Forest Hills Filler Expert: Dr. Michael Paltiel, MD
Board-Certified Dermatologist with 17 Years of Experience
When you choose dermal fillers in Queens, your results depend entirely on who performs your injections. Dr. Michael Paltiel brings exceptional credentials to every treatment at Adult and Pediatric Dermatology.
Dr. Paltiel completed his medical training at Johns Hopkins Medical School, one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the country. He then finished his dermatology residency at the University of Maryland before establishing his practice in Forest Hills.
The Board-Certified Difference
"It's placed strategically by experienced and Board Certified providers," Dr. Paltiel explains when asked how his team ensures natural-looking filler results. This strategic approach, combined with advanced injection techniques, helps patients avoid the overfilled appearance that concerns many first-time filler candidates.
At Adult and Pediatric Dermatology, fillers are administered by highly trained board certified specialists who are extensively experienced, trusted and qualified. This level of expertise matters significantly when injecting the delicate areas of your face.
What Are Dermal Fillers? Understanding Volume Restoration
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume beneath the skin, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. As we age, our faces naturally lose collagen, elastin, and fat. This creates hollow areas, deeper lines, and a sunken appearance that can make us look tired or older than we feel.
How Hyaluronic Acid Fillers Work
Most dermal fillers used at our Forest Hills clinic contain hyaluronic acid, a substance your body naturally produces to keep skin hydrated and plump. When injected, hyaluronic acid gel fills in folds, binds water in the skin, and adds soft, natural volume.
Static Wrinkles vs. Dynamic Wrinkles
Understanding the difference between wrinkle types helps determine your ideal treatment: Static wrinkles appear from gravity, volume loss, and environmental damage. These lines remain visible even when your face is at rest. Dermal fillers excel at treating static wrinkles and volume depletion. Dynamic wrinkles form from repeated facial movements like smiling or frowning. These are typically treated with neurotoxins like Botox, which Adult and Pediatric Dermatology also offers. Many patients combine both treatments for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.

Treatment Areas: Lips, Cheeks, and Mid-Face Restoration
Our Most Popular Filler Treatments in Queens
When asked about the areas most commonly treated with dermal fillers, Dr. Paltiel shares: "We address mid face laxity as well as lip enhancements most commonly."
Lip Enhancement: Whether you want subtle hydration or more defined volume, lip fillers can create beautiful, proportionate results. On average, lip treatments require 1 to 1.5 syringes of filler.
Cheek and Mid-Face
Volumization: Restoring cheek volume lifts the entire mid-face, reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds and creating a more youthful contour. Most patients need 2 to 3 syringes for cheeks or mid-face treatment.
Additional Treatment Areas: Our Forest Hills team also treats nasolabial folds (smile lines), marionette lines, under-eye hollows, chin contouring, and hand rejuvenation.

The Cannula Technique:
Minimizing Bruising and Trauma
Why We Choose Cannulas Over Needles
When asked about injection technique, Dr. Paltiel is direct: "Cannula to avoid bruising and trauma." Unlike traditional sharp needles, a cannula is a blunt-tipped, flexible tube that glides through tissue rather than cutting through it. This approach significantly reduces the risk of bruising, swelling, and discomfort during your filler treatment.
Safety You Can Trust
The cannula technique also minimizes the risk of accidentally injecting filler into blood vessels, making it a safer choice for delicate areas like the under-eyes and lips. Combined with our providers' extensive training, this approach delivers the safest possible filler experience in Forest Hills. And if you ever want to adjust your results? "Yes," confirms Dr. Paltiel when asked if fillers can be dissolved. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be reversed using an enzyme called hyaluronidase, giving patients complete peace of mind.

The Consultation
Your journey begins with a personal consultation where our providers discuss your goals and examine your facial structure. "There is a consultation fee but it is credited toward the procedure," Dr. Paltiel explains, ensuring your investment goes directly toward your treatment. During this appointment, we determine which filler or combination of fillers will achieve your desired results. We customize every plan to your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
The Treatment
On treatment day, we cleanse the target areas and apply topical numbing cream for your comfort. Our fillers also contain lidocaine, further minimizing any discomfort during injection. Using the cannula technique, your provider precisely places filler into predetermined areas. You will see instant improvement as the filler is applied. A typical appointment lasts about 20 to 30 minutes.
Aftercare and Results

Regarding downtime: "Swelling and/or bruising is not uncommon," notes Dr. Paltiel. Typical bruising resolves within 3 to 5 days. Results last roughly 7 to 9 months, depending on the treatment area and filler used.
