Fillers
Radiesse
As we age, one of the natural effects is a loss and break down of collagen. Collagen is what gives skin its youthful, supple appearance. As our natural collagen diminishes because of aging, we experience the appearance of wrinkles and a loss of facial volume.
Radiesse® is an excellent way to rejuvenate and boost the smooth appearance of your skin. It works by providing immediate volume correction and goes further to stimulate your body’s natural production of collagen. Radiesse® is the first FDA-approved dermal filler for both face and hands.
Results typically last a year or more in many patients.
Restylane
Restylane® was the first hyaluronic acid dermal filler to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for cosmetic injection into sub dermal facial tissues. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in nearly every cell in your body. When injected into the face, Restylane’s® hyaluronic acid fillers restores hollow cheeks, sagging jowls, sunken temples, hollows under the eyes and thin lips. The family includes Restylane L, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne & Restylane Silk.

Pre-Treatment Instructions
- Clients should not schedule any invasive procedures for 2 weeks before or after treatment with Fillers.
- It is recommended to discontinue the use of Aspirin, Motrin, Gingko Biloba, Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week before and after treatment to minimize bruising or bleeding. Please consult with your primary physician prior to discontinuing any medications.
- If you have a history of Herpes Simplex, please ask us to prescribe an antiviral medication when scheduling. This should be taken the day before, the day of, and a day after your procedure. If you are experiencing an active outbreak in the area to be treated, please reschedule as we will be unable to perform your procedure.
- If you develop a cold sore, blemish, rash, etc. in the area to be treated prior to your appointment, we recommend that you please reschedule your appointment until it resolves.
- Due to the body’s inflammatory response to Covid-19 and other viruses, we ask that you postpone your procedure 2 weeks after being symptom-free. This helps minimize post-procedure inflammatory responses your body may experience.
- It is recommended to discontinue Retin-A 2-3 days before treatment to avoid any increased redness and irritation.
- It is recommended that you wait at least 2 weeks to have filler treatments performed if you have previously had cosmetic treatments with laser, ultrasound, peels, facials, or microdermabrasion.
Post Procedure Instructions
- Do Not touch, press, rub, or manipulate the area where the filler was inserted for 6 hours after treatment. This can cause irritation, sores, and/or possible scarring.
- Avoid vigorous exercise, sun, and heat exposure for 3 days after treatment.
- Avoid submerging the head underwater for a full 24 hours after treatment; this includes pools, beaches, bathtubs, hot tubs, etc.
- Avoid Aspirin, Motrin, Ginkgo Biloba, Garlic, Flax Oil, Cod Liver Oil, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, or any other essential fatty acids at least 3 days to 1 week after treatment. These items may increase bleeding and bruising.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, Niacin supplement, high-sodium foods, high-sugar foods, refined carbohydrates, spicy foods, and cigarettes 24-48 hours after your treatment. These items may contribute to increased swelling or irritation.
