Experiencing a loss of volume? Looking for fuller cheeks or lips, or to define your jawline? Here's exactly how Dermal Fillers can work for your goals.

Facial Contouring

Dermal Fillers use hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring compound in the body—to contour the face, restore volume, provide a natural-looking fullness, and add definition to the jawline.

How It Works

Step 1: Consultation

Your treatment begins with a consultation, where you'll work with your provider to determine the type of filler, the amount to be used, and treatment areas.

Step 2: Cleanse & Prep

Before proceeding with the injections, your provider will gently cleanse your skin. Depending on your treatment area, a topical anesthetic may be applied.

Step 3: Hyaluronic Acid Injections

Filler is artfully injected into the selected areas to restore volume and contour your targeted areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Dermal Filler best for?

Dermal Filler is safe for all skin types & tones. We recommend it for those looking to add volume and definition to their face

How long does Dermal Filler last?

Dermal Filler can last anywhere from 6-18 months, depending on the type of filler used, along with your aesthetic goals and treatment areas. For example, in an area like the lips (which you move regularly), filler will dissolve more quickly, lasting for 6-9 months. In other areas—like the cheeks or jawline—filler can last between 12-18 months.

What does it feel like?

We apply an icepack before and after to help ease any discomfort. Depending on your treatment area, we may also apply a topical anaesthetic to numb the region. You can also take Tylenol before and after the session to help reduce any pain, but do not take ibuprofen (Advil) or any blood thinners.

What is hyaluronic acid?

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occuring compound produced by the body that helps retain moisture and keeps skin plump & hydrated. You may recognize this compound from serums and moisturizers, as it's a popular humectant—it pulls water into skin and can hold 1000x its weight in water. It's the main ingredient in dermal filler and its soft, gel-like form makes it easy to create natural-looking results.

What's the downtime?

You will experience redness, swelling, and potentially bruising for up to 1-2 weeks after getting dermal filler. This will begin to subside a few days after treatment. Full results appear within 2 weeks.

What types of Dermal Filler do you offer? How are they different?

We offer Restylane and Juvederm products.

How long does an appointment take?

A filler appointment takes approximately 45 minutes.

Is there bruising?

Bruising is completely normal, and more common in sensitive injection sites, such as the lips. While not everyone bruises, you may experience both bruising and swelling, which can take 1-2 weeks to subside. Therefore, we don't recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event. You can also take arnica and bromelain pre-treatment to help reduce post-treatment swelling and bruising.

Can I get this treatment while pregnant or breastfeeding?

No, this treatment is not suitable while pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can I workout after?

Plan on getting your workout in before this treatment, and avoid exercise, along with other physical activities that make you sweat, for 24 hours after treatment.
