Dermal Fillers
Cheek Filler
Think 'structure' rather than 'bigger cheeks'. Cheek filler is used to restore volume after age-related loss. It can improve projection and definition, as well as, give the effect of a subtle lift.
To achieve results, Juvederm Voluma XC is used. Cheek filler works best for early to moderate midface volume loss, flat or under-projected cheekbones, & patients seeking non-surgical facial balancing.
Nasolabial Fold (Smile Line) Filler
The nasolabial fold runs from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth. Filler in this area is used to help with midface volume loss, skin laxity, fat pad deflation in the cheeks, & bone resorption in the midface.
To achieve results, Juvederm Vollure XC or Ultra XC can be used. These options work best to soften the crease, restore smoother facial transition, & reduce tired or deep-set shadows around the mouth.
Chin Filler
Chin filler can be a vital part of facial balancing. It can be used to improve side profile balance, lengthen or strengthen a recessed chin, sharpen the jawline-to-neck transition, improve facial symmetry, & reduce the appearance of a 'double chin'.
To achieve results, Juvederm Volux or Voluma XC can be used depending on your goals. Chin filler is often done in conjunction with jawline filler.
Jawline Filler
Typically used along with chin filler, jawline filler can be one of the most transformative treatments. Filler placed along this area assists with mild to moderate loss of jawline definition, early jowling or soft tissue descent, under-defined mandibular angles, or patients seeking non-surgical contouring.
To achieve results, Juvederm Volux or Voluma XC can be used. Depending on your goals, these can help define the jawline & angle, improve the appearance of jowling, create separation between face and neck, & help balance facial proportions.
Lip Filler
As the most popular & highly requested treatment, lip filler is used to add volume to thin or aging lips, define the lip border, improve symmetry, enhance the Cupid’s bow, smooth vertical lip lines, & aid in hydration.
We don't want to produce overfilled lips. Instead, our goal is to create better shape, proportion, & definition.
To achieve these results, Juvederm Ultra XC or Volbella XC are used. This treatment can often be combined with a 'lip flip'.
