Injectable Fillers
As you age, your face goes through a variety of changes. Collagen production slows and the soft, supple skin of your youth begins to show fine lines and wrinkles. At the same time, subcutaneous fat that once gave fullness to your cheeks has thinned, leaving behind sagging skin and a noticeable loss of volume. It is these changes that injectable fillers, also known as dermal fillers, target. Dermal fillers are able to reduce wrinkles and fine lines while also adding lost volume in order to help you fight off the signs of aging with instant results and no downtime.
Whether you are looking to fill in fine lines and wrinkles or add volume to your cheeks or lips, the team of specialists at Tao Wellness Med Spa will work with you to create an individual treatment plan that addresses all of your concerns. Our specialists have a deep understanding of facial anatomy and will choose dermal fillers that will best address your facial concerns and enhance your natural beauty.

The Dermal Fillers We Offer

At Tao Wellness Med Spa, we use a selection of JUVÉDERM® hyaluronic acid dermal fillers designed to add volume and address various signs of aging with long-lasting, natural-looking results. Different JUVÉDERM injectables work best for different areas of the face and include:

  • JUVÉDERM® ULTRA XC – This dermal filler targets lost volume in the lips. By injecting into and around the lips, this filler allows us to replace lost lip volume or simply enhance the fullness of your lips. Treatments can last up to a year before retreatment is necessary.
  • JUVÉDERM® VOLBELLA® XC – This dermal filler, like ULTRA, targets the lips and the areas around the lips, such as smoker’s lines, lipstick lines, and other lip wrinkles.
  • JUVÉDERM® VOLUMA® XC– VOLUMA XC is a dermal filler designed to replace lost volume in the cheeks, as well as the chin. The increase of volume provided in the cheek area provides a midface lift, revealing a much more youthful appearance.
  • JUVÉDERM® VOLLURE® XC – This dermal filler targets lines and wrinkles in the face, such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, in order to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

What Do Different Fillers Treat?

Dermal fillers can improve skin contour and loss of volume related to many different facial concerns. This can include:

  • Loss of volume in the lips, cheeks, and chin
  • Deep smile lines
  • Acne scars
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Marionette lines
  • Deep lines on the forehead
  • Smoker’s lines
  • Facial scarring
  • Redefining the border of your lips

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

The majority of dermal fillers on the market today are gel-like substances containing hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is not an acid at all, but rather a natural sugar produced in the body that helps the skin retain moisture. When this gel is injected into the treatment area, this gel works to fill in fine lines and wrinkles or plump up areas with lost volume.

Treatments typically take under an hour and the results are immediate, though some minor swelling is possible immediately after the procedure. Results are not permanent but can last from months to over a year, depending on the location and the filler used.

What to Expect During Your Filler Treatment

Your dermal filler treatment plan begins with an initial consultation where our specialists will evaluate your facial skin tone and appearance in order to create an individualized treatment plan. Before your treatment, they may mark injection points. Your skin is then cleaned, and an anesthetic ointment is administered if necessary. 

At this point, the injection process starts with our specialist injecting, massaging, and evaluating the results as they go in order to determine if additional filler is necessary. Altogether, the injection time can range between 15 minutes and an hour based on how many areas are being treated.

Am I a Good Candidate?

Good candidates for dermal fillers will be in good overall health with no underlying medical conditions. In addition, you should be a non-smoker and have realistic goals in mind. In order to maintain optimal results, you want to commit to a healthy skincare routine.

Dermal Filler Results

After your dermal filler treatment, you can experience some slight swelling, but you will also be able to see your results immediately after your treatment. Dermal fillers are not, however, permanent and re-treatment will be necessary to maintain results for the long term.

FAQs

Dermal fillers, when administered by a professional, are a safe treatment option. Given that most fillers contain hyaluronic acid as the main ingredient, it is not foreign to your body, and allergic reactions are rare. However, as with all medical procedures, there are potential risks. These can include:

  • Bleeding from the injection site
  • Skin rash
  • Swelling
  • Acne-like skin eruptions
  • Bruising
  • Infection
Dermal fillers are approved for adults over the age of 21 to treat fine lines, wrinkles and a loss of volume. They can also be used to increase volume, such as in the lips. If you are over 21 and have areas of facial concern, dermal filler treatments can help you achieve your facial goals.
In most cases, dermal filler injections do not require anesthetic and are very well-tolerated. Many compare the injections to something like a standard vaccine. If you are sensitive to the injections, we will administer a topical anesthetic.
How long your dermal filler treatment lasts depends on what area was treated, which filler was used, and how much filler was used. In general, results will last between 6 months and one year or more before retreatment is necessary to maintain results.

BOTOX® is another form of injectable treatment that works slightly differently and targets different concerns. BOTOX is a neuromodulator, meaning it disrupts the signals from nerves to muscles. BOTOX injections target dynamic wrinkles or those that are caused by facial movements. BOTOX injections relax those muscles, making the wrinkles less noticeable. If you have a combination of facial concerns, you may achieve the best results through a combination of BOTOX and dermal filler injections.
