Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a gel-like substance that are typically made of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is already found in the body, and it helps draw in fluid for hydration. It can be utilized to add lost volume, contour facial features (e.g. chin, jaw, cheeks, temples, under-eyes, etc.), and enhance lips. Filler can last 6 months to a few years depending on the product, treatment area, amount, and individual. The biggest risk of dermal fillers is something called a "vascular occlusion", which is when blood flow is decreased or halted to certain areas. A vascular occlusion can lead to tissue damage. This is why product placement and technique are important. Feel free to book a complimentary consultation to discuss your areas of concern and we can create a customized treatment plan for you.
​
Lips (mini plump $450, full plump $650)
-
Lip filler can be used to work on lip shape, volume, and hydration.
-
Numbing options include topical and dental blocks (needle injections inside of the mouth with lidocaine).
​
Cheeks (starting at $750, additional syringe $500/each)
-
As we age or lose weight, we lose the fat pads in our mid-face/cheek area. This causes our facial structures to droop downwards - and can cause deeper smile lines. Adding the volume back in can result in a more youthful look.
​
Jawline + Chin (starting at $750, additional syringe $500/each)
-
As we age, we lose fat and bone along our jaw-line and chin. Adding the volume back with dermal filler with create facial balance and shaping.
​​
Temples (starting at $750, additional syringe $500/each)
-
Add some volume back to the temples to create a youthful contour

Dermal Fillers Considerations

It is recommended not to have a special event or occasion (e.g. a wedding) within 2-4 weeks of having filler treatments done for this reason
-
To avoid bleeding and bruising, you should avoid alcohol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) medications (e.g. Advil, Motrin, ibuprofen, Alleve) for 24 hours prior/after treatment
-
-
After lip filler: Do not eat spicy foods, exercise, sweat, or do anything that can increase swelling to the lips for at least 24 hours
-
Icing is optional ​

-
Avoid manipulation or massage of the treatment area to avoid moving the filler to an undesired area
-
Allow the filler to settle in for 2 weeks before we assess the final result
