Dermal Fillers

 

Soften facial lines and gently restore lost volume for a refreshed, natural look. 

Subtle volume. Natural-looking results.

 Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often made of hyaluronic acid, a substance your skin produces naturally. They add volume where it has thinned with age and soften lines and folds. Unlike wrinkle relaxers, which relax the muscles that create expression lines, fillers work by supporting the skin from beneath. 

Fillers can target a single area, but the most natural results often come from looking at the face as a whole. This approach, called facial balancing, uses small amounts of filler in a few carefully chosen areas so that your features stay in harmony. Each injection is placed strategically, with a conservative hand, so the result still looks like you, just more rested. 


Common Treatment Areas

Lip Enhancement

 

 Add subtle definition, volume, or symmetry to the lips for a natural, balanced look. 

Cheek Augmentation

 

 Restore youthful volume to the mid-face and create gentle lift and contour. 

Nasolabial Folds

 Soften the lines that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth. 


Under-Eye Hollows

 Address tear trough hollowing that creates a tired or shadowed appearance. 

Our pick to soften the smile lines

When treating smile lines, we use Evolysse™ Form and Evolysse™ Smooth, a new generation of hyaluronic acid fillers from Evolus. Both are made with Cold-X Technology, a manufacturing process at near-freezing temperatures designed to preserve the natural structure of hyaluronic acid.

  • FDA approved to smooth moderate to severe dynamic facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds) in adults 22 years and older
  • Results lasts up to 12 months with Evolysse Form and 6 to 9 months with Evolysse Smooth, depending on the patient

What to expect?

1. Consultation

 We assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the right filler type and placement for balanced results.

2. Treatment

 Appointments typically take 30 to 45 minutes. The filler products we use contain lidocaine, a numbing agent, to keep the treatment comfortable.

3. Aftercare

Mild swelling or bruising is normal for a few days. Avoid touching the area, strenuous exercise and saunas or drinking alcohol for 48 hours.

4. Results

Results are visible immediately and continue to settle over 1–2 weeks. Depending on the area and product used, results last 9–18 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

 Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a substance found naturally in your skin, where it helps keep the skin hydrated, flexible and elastic. It has been a key ingredient in dermal fillers for more than 20 years because it adds subtle volume. 

 It depends on the product, since each filler is FDA approved for specific uses. We use Evolysse™, which is approved to smooth moderate to severe wrinkles and folds in dynamic areas of the face, especially the smile lines between the nose and the corners of the mouth. If you have other concerns, we'll discuss them at your consultation. 

Most patients describe a quick pinch.  Fillers are gels injected beneath the skin with a fine needle or cannula. They add volume where it has thinned and soften lines and folds, for a smoother, more rested look. 

 All medical treatments have benefits and risks. Common side effects include swelling, bruising, redness, pain, tenderness, itching or rash near the injection site. Rare but serious complications can occur, including unintentional injection into a blood vessel, which may cause tissue damage, vision problems or stroke. We review the risks and the Evolysse safety information with you before every treatment. 

We review your goals, your medical history and your facial anatomy to decide whether filler is right for you. It's also your chance to ask questions and learn what to expect during and after treatment. 

Mild swelling or bruising is normal for a few days. Avoid touching the area, alcohol, strenuous exercise and saunas for 24 to 48 hours. If you have any questions or concerns after your treatment, call us at 804.739.2412. 

Appointments typically take 30 to 45 minutes. Results are visible right away and settle over about two weeks as any swelling fades. Filler results are temporary, so we'll discuss how long you can expect yours to last and when a touch-up may help. 

 Evolysse™ is a collection of hyaluronic acid fillers from Evolus, and it's the only filler we use. It includes two gels with different textures: Evolysse™ Form, for deeper folds that need more support, and Evolysse™ Smooth, for softer lines. Both contain lidocaine for comfort and are approved for adults 22 and older. Women's Health First is an Evolus Elite+ practice, the highest distinction from the maker of Evolysse. 

Evolysse is made with Cold-X™ Technology, a manufacturing process at near-freezing temperatures designed to preserve the natural structure of hyaluronic acid, for results that look and feel natural. Learn more on the official Evolysse website.
