Filler
Dermal fillers are like a deep, nourishing breath for your skin, infusing it with hydration, volume, and balance. These hyaluronic acid treatments enhance the lips, lift and sculpt the cheeks, smooth away lines, and contour the face with a natural, radiant touch. By drawing in moisture, they restore plumpness and softness, easing away wrinkles. Each treatment is thoughtfully customized to your unique needs, creating rejuvenation exactly where you need it.
Areas dermal fillers address:
Lips
Cheeks
Jawline

Filler is a fabulous injectable treatment that helps bring back lost volume, smooth out those fine lines, and enhance your natural beauty. Made from hyaluronic acid, something our bodies naturally produce, fillers hydrate and plump the skin, giving you a fresh, youthful glow. It's perfect for adding volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline, and can help define your features for a more radiant, rejuvenated appearance.
-
The number of filler syringes you’ll need depends on your unique goals and the areas you're treating. Generally, here’s a rough guideline:
Lips: 1 syringe for a subtle plump or enhancement.
Cheeks: 1-3 syringes, depending on how much volume restoration is needed.
Chin & Jawline: 1-2 syringes for a more defined look.
Facial Balancing: 2-6 syringes to help achieve a harmonious, balanced appearance.
During your consultation, your provider will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your desired results to help determine the right amount of filler for you. Keep in mind that it’s always better to start conservatively and add more if needed.

The cost of dermal filler varies based on the product and treatment area. Our prices typically range from $750 to $850 and a Mini lip is $400 (1/2 syringe of filler).

One week before: Skip blood-thinning over-the-counter meds like aspirin, Motrin, ibuprofen, and Aleve.
2 days before: Avoid topical products with active ingredients, such as Retin-A, Retinol, Retinoids, or Glycolic Acid. You can start taking Arnica to help with any swelling or bruising.
24 hours before: Steer clear of alcohol and smoking to keep your skin in the best shape possible.

After getting filler, here are some simple steps to help ensure you get the best results:
Avoid Touching or Massaging: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly.
Stay Upright: For the first 4 hours after treatment, avoid lying down to prevent the filler from shifting.
Avoid Exercise: Skip intense workouts for 24-48 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
Stay Away from Heat: Avoid hot tubs, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24 hours to prevent irritation and swelling.
Use Ice: If you notice swelling or bruising, you can apply a cold compress to the treated areas in short intervals (10-15 minutes) for the first 24 hours.
Don’t Drink Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours after your treatment as it can increase the risk of bruising.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin looking plump and healthy.
Avoid Blood Thinners: If possible, refrain from taking blood-thinning medications (like ibuprofen or aspirin) for the first 24 hours.
Be Patient: It’s normal to see some swelling, bruising, or slight lumps immediately after treatment. These usually subside in a few days.
With a little aftercare, you’ll be on your way to enjoying your refreshed, natural-looking results!

Severe or Persistent Swelling: Mild swelling is normal, but if it becomes severe or lasts longer than a few days, reach out to your provider.
Excessive Bruising or Redness: While some bruising and redness are common, if it seems unusually intense or doesn’t improve over time, it’s a good idea to check in.
Pain: If you experience intense pain or discomfort that doesn’t subside with over-the-counter pain relievers (like Tylenol), contact your provider for guidance.
