Dermal Fillers

Every filler we carry has great longevity. We love and only use products that integrate nicely with your tissue to not only look but feel as natural as possible. We also carry biostimulating products such as Radiesse which promote collagen and elastin production, which in turn results in longevity. In all, you can always expect to get about a year out of any filler treatment.

We get this question a lot, there is no “right time” to start getting fillers. Fillers are used both for anti-aging as well as contouring, volumizing, and lifting. The question is really what is your goal? Are you interested in getting fillers because you want to contour, or enhance/improve certain facial features. If that’s the case then you can start getting fillers at any age. If you are interested in anit-aging treatments so you age gracefully with less lines, wrinkles, sagging etc than we recommend coming in as soon as you start the aging process start typically mid 20s to mid 30s depending on your lifestyle, eating habits, and genetics. There are also patients that may be deeper into the aging process and would just like to rewind the clock, these patients should come in as soon as they like. In short, there is no real “time” to start with fillers. The more important thing is to make sure you are seeing a provider that understands your goals and expectations and keeps you looking natural and refreshed.

When administered by a skilled professional, dermal fillers can yield impressive results. They can rejuvenate the face by adding volume, providing lift, and enhancing contour. Fillers also have the potential to improve facial symmetry and overall harmony, resulting in a more refreshed and less fatigued appearance. Additionally, certain types of fillers stimulate the skin's production of collagen and elastin, contributing to longer-lasting effects.

There are many types of fillers. Hyaluronic acid(HA) fillers, calcium hydaroxyapetite fillers (CaHa), poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers, polymethyl-m acid (PMMA) fillers, and more. Hyaluronic acid fillers are the only fillers currently on the market that can be completed dissolved. The other kinds of fillers may be able soften with dissolvement however they will not fully dissipate.

Filler treatments are very comfortable, we offer a full comfort menu and use special techniques and instruments to ensure a very comfortable experience. We can topically numb the area being treated, fully anesthetize the area if necessary, we also offer pro-nox (laughing gas) to help with any anxiety or nervousness before and during the procedure as well as other distracting methods to help make the experience very pleasant.

As with any medical procedure there are potential risks or side effects, however for the most part getting a filler procedure is very safe especially when choosing an experienced provider who is highly skilled. The most common adverse events are bruising, swelling, and mild tenderness after the procedure, which typically resolve in 1-2 weeks.
