Filler and Other Injectables

CONTOURED. REFINED. ELEVATED

Structural Refinement

Fillers are injected into, and underneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, such as the cheeks, lips, chin, jawline, and under-eye areas.

What Does Your In-Studio Visit Involve?

During your consultation, we’ll assess your facial structure, skin condition, and volume loss to identify areas where dermal fillers or biostimulatory injectables can enhance your appearance. Whether it’s plumping lips, contouring cheeks, or improving skin texture, your goals guide our recommendations.

We’ll suggest the most appropriate product for your needs, such as hyaluronic acid fillers for immediate volume restoration or collagen-stimulating injectables for longer-term rejuvenation. Treatment plans are customized to balance and enhance your natural features.

The procedure involves precise injections using fine needles or cannulas, typically taking 30–60 minutes. Topical numbing agents may be used to ensure your comfort. Results are immediate for fillers, while biostimulatory treatments develop over time.

Post-treatment care includes avoiding heat, alcohol, and vigorous activities for 24 hours. Mild swelling or bruising may occur but usually resolves quickly. Follow-up visits can refine or maintain results.

Precautions include disclosing prior treatments or allergies. Rare complications may include asymmetry, infection, or vascular compromise, including blindness. Choosing an experienced practitioner greatly reduces risks.

Types of Filler Injections

The most common type of filler, HA is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture and adds volume. It’s ideal for smoothing fine lines, enhancing lips, and restoring facial contours. Results are immediate and typically last 6 to 18 months. Popular brands include Juvederm and Restylane.

Biostimulatory fillers work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production, leading to gradual, long-lasting improvements in skin firmness, texture, and volume. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, these enhance the skin’s structure over time.

Key Biostimulatory Fillers:

Poly-L-lactic Acid (PLLA):
- How it works: Stimulates collagen production gradually, improving skin thickness and reducing deep wrinkles over several months.
- Common brand: Sculptra®
- Longevity: Results can last up to 2 years or more with maintenance treatments.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA):
- How it works: Provides immediate volume while also promoting collagen synthesis for longer-term skin rejuvenation.
- Common brand: Radiesse®
- Longevity: Lasts 12 to 18 months, with continued collagen benefits even after the filler has been absorbed.

Other Injectables

Skin booster injections are a type of non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. They typically involve the injection of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin, to improve skin texture, elasticity, and hydration. These injections help enhance skin appearance by reducing fine lines, adding volume, and giving the skin a radiant, youthful glow. Skin boosters are often used on areas such as the face, neck, and hands.

Common Brands:

Restylane Skinboosters – A popular hyaluronic acid-based skin booster that improves skin hydration and elasticity.
Teosyal Redensity I – A skin booster by Teoxane, designed to improve skin texture and radiance using hyaluronic acid and a blend of vitamins and amino acids.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) are treatments that use the patient’s own blood to promote facial rejuvenation. PRP is created by isolating a concentrated amount of platelets from the blood, which contains growth factors that stimulate tissue repair and collagen production. PRF is a more advanced version, with fewer additives, resulting in a more natural healing response.

Both treatments are injected into the skin, used in conjunction with Microneedling, to enhance skin texture, reduce fine lines, and promote a youthful glow. They stimulate the body’s healing processes, improving skin tone, firmness, and overall appearance. PRP and PRF are often used for under-eye circles, skin texture improvement, and collagen stimulation.

How often do I need treatment

The effects of dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism. Areas with more movement, such as the lips, may require touch-ups sooner (around 6 to 9 months), while areas like the cheeks or jawline can maintain results for up to 18 months. Regular maintenance sessions help preserve optimal, natural-looking results.
