Dermal Fillers + Biostimulators

The cost of a dermal filler or biostimulator treatment varies from person to person and depends on the number of vials injected, the injectable product used, and the treatment areas. Therefore, we recommend a consultation for a detailed estimate to determine your treatment's cost.

Both men and women who wish to address various age-related concerns are candidates for dermal fillers and biostimulator treatments.

Dermal fillers work best for addressing more moderate facial lines, wrinkles, and folds, as well as volume loss, particularly in the cheeks, temples, and under-eye areas. They can also enhance the shape and size of the lips, define the cheekbones further, and create a strong jawline and chin.

Biostimulators are better suited for those with more extreme volume loss in the midface, temples, and jawline area who wish to create new collagen in the skin naturally to improve the skin's appearance and firmness. This option provides longer-lasting results, making biostimulators a good solution for those who don't want to repeat their injections often.

Both dermal fillers and biostimulators are ideal solutions for those not ready or willing to undergo surgical treatments and wish to enhance their appearance with next to no downtime and few risks.

Hyaluronic acid fillers, like Restylane® and JUVÉDERM®, are very safe since hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar molecule in your body. If there are any issues with these fillers, we can safely inject an enzyme called hyaluronidase into the treated area to dissolve it instantaneously. Side effects are very rare.

Treatment with any dermal filler can cause mild swelling, which usually subsides in a few days. Swelling may last longer with thicker products, like Juvederm Voluma, or if more than one syringe is used. Swelling is usually more noticeable under the eyes and around the mouth.

To minimize swelling, ice the area for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. You can also apply arnica ointment, or take oral arnica tablets to help reduce bruising and swelling.

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism and skin thickness. Generally, dermal fillers can provide results that last from six to 18 months, whereas biostimulators can last one to two years or longer.

Whether you choose to get dermal or biostimulator fillers, it's important to avoid blood thinners of all kinds for at least a week before your appointment to minimize bruising. You'll also want to keep your body well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol before your appointment. Make sure you tell your injector about all current medical conditions, allergies, and medications you are taking to prevent any complications.
