Lip Fillers and Injections

Fillers

The use of hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers – such as Versa – fills in sunken areas and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles by plumping up the dermis in the targeted areas. These filler treatments have immediate results and last for many months.

Like other HA dermal fillers, the most common treatment sites for Versa are:

Nasolabial Folds
Lips
Tear Troughs
Cheeks
Between the eyebrows

The injectable product Sculptra is also used to create a youthful appearance, sculpt most body areas, and/or correct imperfections. Sculptra stimulates collagen production by reducing microparticles of poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) injected into the skin. When compared to HA fillers, Sculptra does not produce immediate results because it takes a while for the patient’s own collagen production to take place in the targeted areas once stimulated by the product.

The areas commonly treated with Sculptra include:

Temples
Mid cheek region
Lower face

Smile lines
Marionette lines
Chin wrinkles

FAQs

What are fillers?

Filler injections are a non-invasive cosmetic procedure. The purpose of fillers is to plump up wrinkles and smooth lines and restore volume to your face.

How soon will I see the results from fillers?

HA fillers provide instant results, so you can see a visible result immediately after your injection. With Sculptra, results will be more gradual, as this type of treatment works in a subtle manner so as not to appear unnatural. Because this type of treatment works over time, it targets the underlying causes of aging, which is too little collagen production.

How long do fillers typically last?

Results from hyaluronic acid injections usually last six months to a year. Sculptra injections can last as long as the patient’s collagen lasts, from 2 to 7 years.

Will there be recovery or downtime after my filler injections?

Each patient’s recovery time for dermal fillers varies. Redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site are common side effects.
