As we age, we lose volume in the face. Our lips also thin out over time. Fillers can be used to restore some of this lost volume and fill in static, resting lines commonly seen around the mouth. Fillers can also be used to sculpt the jawline or add volume to the chin, midface or temples. Our goal is not to overfill, a small amount of filler can go a long way.

We can also inject filler with Natural Plasma. The filler will give you immediate lift and volume, while the Natural Plasma will signal cells to regenerate collagen and elastin. There are many different fillers, each has its own purpose and function. Check out some of our fillers below!

Our approach is to make you as comfortable as possible during this procedure as injection in some areas is deep. We inject a lidocaine solution in the gumline, similar to where your dentist injects. This blocks the nerve that locally feeds that area of the midface and lips. This makes the procedure much more tolerable than just a topical anesthetic. Other areas we inject a local anesthetic.

After treatment you will have some swelling, maybe some bruising as well. This usually resolves after a few days. Alastin Skincare has a post-procedure injection serum we carry in our office that can be applied to the lips several times throughout the day. Helps significantly speed up healing, reduce swelling and bruising.

Longevity will depend on the filler used and how quickly you metabolized it. With the fillers we use, generally 6-9 months.

Results are immediate.

There are risks associated with this treatment and this is why it is important for the injector to know their anatomy. if a filler were to get into a blood vessel, it could block this vessel leading to decreased blood flow to that area of the face. We only use fillers that can be broken down with a counter enzyme.
