Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectables that increase volume in select areas of your face. Compassionate Health Med Spa uses the leading dermal fillers, including Juvéderm XC, Juvéderm Ultra Plus, and other products in the Juvéderm family, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance®, all of which have hyaluronic acid as their active ingredient. 

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that your body makes on its own. It attracts water and helps to maintain skin moisture and firmness. But, hyaluronic acid levels decrease over the years, which can contribute to lines and wrinkles.

Dermal fillers can place hyaluronic acid in specific areas where you need volume. They work instantly and can combine well with other treatments, such as neurotoxin injections. 

Dermal fillers can achieve three main goals. 

Reducing the signs of aging

Dermal fillers excel at diminishing the signs of aging instantly. They can treat both smaller lines (rhytids) and deeper facial creases and wrinkles. Some of the most popular treatment areas include the nasolabial folds (smile lines), glabellar creases (between brows), and forehead lines. 

Improving facial structure

Dermal fillers can improve your facial structure in many ways, from creating more prominent cheekbones to defining your jawline and filling in sunken or thin cheeks. 

Enhancing lips

Dermal fillers can add lip fullness, improve lip contour, and minimize fine lines in and around the lips. 

There are also other areas of the face that may need dermal filler treatment, based on your goals. Share your concerns and wishes with your Compassionate Health Med Spa provider so they can recommend the dermal filler treatment that will help you look your best.

Compassionate Health Med Spa offers a topical anesthetic product to numb your skin prior to the injections. Your provider uses an ultrathin hypodermic needle to inject the dermal filler precisely where you need it. 

Juvéderm, Restylane, and Belotero Balance all contain lidocaine, an anesthetic that significantly reduces discomfort during the injection process. The treatment process is comfortable, and it takes less than an hour. 

After treatment, you’ll have some mild swelling, but you’ll see the full results within four weeks. The results last anywhere from 3-24 months depending on the filler and the place where it’s injected.
