DERMAL FILLERS
SAY HELLO TO PLUMP, HYDRATED LIPS
At Glow Med Spa dermal fillers are a procedure that we do every day. As a pioneer in medical aesthetics, we offer only FDA-approved specialty dermal fillers.
As we age, wrinkles and fine lines are only half the battle, and oftentimes, our faces lose volume. Most of our patients aren’t ready for invasive surgery like a facelift—nor do they need it! Dermal fillers are synthetic Hyaluronic Acids in gel form which help to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and reverse the signs of aging. Dermal fillers are an excellent solution to help you look and feel your best!
Are there different types of fillers?
Every filler has a unique characteristic that makes it appropriate for volumizing the areas of the face. Juvederm Volbella, Juvederm Vollure and Juvederm Ultra are commonly used to increase volume in the lips and give it a hydrated look.
How long does filler last?
Thicker fillers such as Juvederm Voluma are great for cheek augmentation and last up to 2 years. Fillers come in 1mL syringes and generally more than 1mL syringe is needed to achieve your optimal goal outcome. Most fillers last up to one year but will degrade sooner in areas that muscle movement occurs most such as the lips.
What do I need to know about caring for my filler after my appointment?
After your filler appointment we always recommend:
- Applying a cold compress

- Don't drink alcohol for 24 hrs
