Treatment options for your forehead and cheeks
Dermal fillers for forehead wrinkles can reduce fine lines, soften deep wrinkles, and replace lost volume—all signs of aging. Treating forehead wrinkles using dermal fillers is a non-surgical facelift approach and may last for 18 to 24 months.
Cheek filler helps to contour and add volume to your cheek area. Because it boosts collagen production, dermal filler treatment is a preferred way to reduce signs of aging in your face, with results lasting up to 18 months.
Treatment options for your eyes
Crow’s feet develop when the orbicularis oculi muscle in your eyelids repeatedly contracts—an action that occurs when you close your eyes. Injectables for crow’s feet relax this muscle, softening wrinkles around your eyes and preventing future wrinkle lines from developing.
Dermal fillers for dark circles can improve under eye circles by increasing under eye volume. Dermal fillers for under eyes and in eye troughs are a preferred way to treat eye volume loss—a cosmetic condition caused by genetics, lack of fat under your eyes, or thin lower eyelid skin. This is a non-surgical alternative to eyelid surgery and should last for a year.
Treatment options for your lips and mouth
Lip filler plumps lips and smooth lines around your mouth. Thin lips can occur naturally—but they can also be a sign of aging, sun exposure, or smoking. This non-surgical alternative to lip augmentation surgery should last more than six months.
Using dermal fillers around your mouth can effectively smooth the appearance of fine “smokers” lines, fill furrows, and replace lost volume—all signs of aging. Because it boosts collagen production, this filler treatment is a preferred way to improve noticeable lip lines for up to 18 months.
Frown lines develop when the muscles between your eyes repeatedly contract—an action that occurs when you frown. Injectables for frown lines relax these muscles, softening lines between your eyes and preventing future lines from developing.
Dermal fillers for marionette lines can soften age-related lines that stretch from the corners of your mouth to your chin. Because it boosts collagen production, the filler treatment is a preferred way to reduce marionette lines and results may last for up to a year.
Dermal fillers for smile and laugh lines (nasolabial folds) can soften age-related lines that extend from both sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. This non-surgical facelift alternative may last for up to 18 months.
Other injectable and dermal filler treatment options
Dermal fillers for acne scars can improve skin contours and reduce depressions caused by scarring. Treating acne scars using dermal fillers is a non-surgical approach and may last for nine to 12 months.
Dermal fillers for jowls can improve facial contours, correct hollowing, reverse drooping, and restore chin fullness. It is a non-surgical facelift approach and may last for up to 18 months.
By replacing lost fat pads just below the surface of the skin—a sign of aging—dermal fillers allow you to restore contours, thus slimming your jaw. This non-surgical facelift approach may last for 12 to 18 months.
What to expect during treatment
The Med Spa professionals will answer questions you have and address your expectations. On the day of your injectable or dermal filler, your Med Spa professional may take photos for your records. Additionally, they may review your overall health including the following:
- General health
- Risk factors
- Medical conditions
- Drug allergies
- Current medications
- Herbal supplements
- Drug or tobacco use
- Past treatments with injectable fillers
For fine lines and shallow wrinkles, you’ll notice improvements within a week of your injections. For harsher lines and deeper wrinkles, it may take over two weeks to see results. Because injectables are a temporary solution for cosmetic concerns, you’ll need ongoing treatments to maintain your results.
For dermal fillers, patients often notice results immediately, though it can take up to two weeks for the filler to settle. Side effects include pain, firmness, tenderness—though these are common with other cosmetic treatments as well. However, any noticeable side effects should subside within 24 to 48 hours after your injections. Because dermal fillers are a temporary solution for cosmetic concerns, you’ll need ongoing treatments to maintain your results. But results typically last from one to two years.
