As you age your skin loses volume, leading to the development of fine lines and wrinkles. We use hyaluronic acid dermal fillers that help lift, revive, and define. Using fillers to provide volume to specific areas of the face gives a full and restored appearance while still being able to work with your regular facial movements to give the most natural result.

Wrinkle Relaxers (add link to Tox)

Botulinum Toxin type A, aka wrinkle relaxers are injectable neurotoxins that temporarily block nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. The result is a softer, smoother, younger looking complexion with zero down time.

What are fillers and how are they used?

Fillers are gel-filled injections to reduce signs of aging or sun damage to your skin by

Unlike Botox, which is designed to relax the muscles that contribute to wrinkles, dermal fillers add volume and fullness.

Dermal fillers can also help with:

What are the different types?

There are many types of dermal fillers with varied benefits, including:

Hyaluronic acid (RHA, Juvéderm, Restylane): The most common type of filler. Your body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, which can help hydrate and plump skin. At New You Wellness, we use RHA products which are the only FDA approved dermal fillers for the treatment of dynamic wrinkles, which translates to the filler moving and adapting easily with facial movements. In other words, the filler moves with your face causing a more natural result. Other fillers often cause your skin to appear stiff or unnatural when making facial expressions. RHA fillers are gently processed with fewer chemical modifications making it nearly identical to the hyaluronic acid produced by your skin. RHA fillers stretch and easily adapt to your facial movements. This results in a softer, more natural look while your face is in a resting position and when laughing, smiling, or moving.
Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse): Your bones naturally produce this mineral-like compound in your bones. It stimulates collagen and elastin production when injected into the dermal layer.
Polylactic acid (Sculptra): Known as a “collagen stimulator,” polylactic acid stimulates collagen production. It’s the same ingredient medical professionals use to heal wounds after dissolvable stitch insertion. This is a synthetic ingredient that’s also biodegradable.

What’s the procedure like?

While there may be some slight differences in the procedure depending on the type of dermal filler you choose, the process generally involves:

Site preparation: On the day of the procedure, we will clean and disinfect the injection site. They may also make some marks on the injection area.
Anesthetic: We will provide some pain relief by chilling your skin with a cold instrument, applying anesthetic ointment, or using a local anesthetic. The type of anesthetic used will depend on the procedure and your preferences.
Injection: We will inject the targeted areas with filler. We will gently massage the area to disperse the filler as needed. Sometimes, we may need to add a little more to attain the desired result. Depending on how many areas we are treating, the process may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.
Healing: We will apply arnica and several other treatments to minimize bruising and swelling to keep you as comfortable as possible. We will give you a cool compress to reduce pain and swelling after the injections. You can leave directly after the procedure and may go about your day as usual. The treatment site may feel a little sore for a couple of days and Tylenol can be taken if needed.

Will I need to do anything to prepare?

In order to minimize the risk of possible side effects and complications of facial fillers please follow these simple steps:

Schedule your facial filler appointment at least 4 weeks prior to a special event that you may be attending, such as a wedding or a vacation. Bruising and swelling may be apparent for up to two weeks after your treatment and you may require refinement after the original treatment.
Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours prior to treatment, as it can thin the blood and increase the risk of bruising.
Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood-thinning medications, if possible, for a period of 2 weeks before treatment. Medications and supplements such as Aspirin, Vitamin E, Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, St. John’s Wort, Omega 3/Fish Oil supplements, Ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, Aleve, and other NSAIDS thin the blood and can increase the risk of bruising and swelling after injections.
Discontinue Retin-A use 2 days before and 2 days after treatment.
If you do not feel well, have a rash, cold sore, or blemish in the treatment area, please reschedule at least 24 hours in advance.
If you have previously suffered from facial cold sores, there is a risk that the needle punctures could contribute to another outbreak of cold sores. Please let us know so you can be prescribed antiviral medication prior to treatment.
Avoid dental procedures (including cleaning) and vaccinations 4 weeks pre-treatment and post-treatment.
Be sure to have a solid meal, including food and drink, the morning before your procedure. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.
Please arrive at the office with a clean face. NO makeup, tinted moisturizer, sunscreen, etc.
You may not receive treatment if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

As you prepare for your treatment please notify New You Wellness Clinic staff of any changes to your medical history, health status including any recent vaccinations, or personal activities that may be relevant to your treatment.

What’s the recovery process?

Your recovery time will depend on the quantity and type of filler you get.

In general, you can resume your usual activities immediately. But experts recommend avoiding strenuous physical exercise for at least a couple of days while you heal.

During this time, you may experience:

bruising
swelling
tenderness
an “overfilled” look
numbness
redness or discoloration
lumpiness at the injection site
a bumpy or hive-like reaction

You can soothe irritation with ice or a cool compress.

These side effects should resolve on their own within a couple of days to two weeks. At this point, you may also have a clear image of your results.

If you’re unsure whether the side effects you’re experiencing during recovery are typical, contact us immediately at 847-861-0008.

Get emergency medical care if you experience visual disturbances or weakness on one side of your body as you recover.

How effective are they?

Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive, highly effective way to address skin volume and textural concerns. But results are temporary.

Depending on the type and placement of filler you get, dermal fillers can last anywhere from several months to several years.

Hyaluronic acid injections tend to have the shortest duration, lasting for 6 to 12 months. Calcium hydroxyapatite fillers last a bit longer, usually about 9 to 15 months.

Aging, sun exposure, smoking, and other factors may also cause your results to fade more rapidly. To prolong results, make sure to wear sunscreen or wear protective layers when outdoors.

Are there any risks?

Though fillers are minimally invasive, they still come with some risks, including:

pain, discomfort, or irritation
bleeding at the injection site
lesions that resemble acne
asymmetric or undesirable results
wounds or sores
scarring
lumps
rashes
redness or discoloration
swelling
skin necrosis
blindness

Severe complications are unlikely. But in rare cases, there is a risk of inadvertent injection of the filler into the blood vessels instead of your skin, blocking blood flow. This could lead to skin loss, severe wounding, stroke, or vision changes (if near your eye)..

The bottom line

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive injections that add volume to the skin. They can reduce signs of aging, reverse skin damage, or correct asymmetries and other aesthetic concerns.

These results of dermal fillers last anywhere from a few months to several years. There are various filler types to choose from based on your unique treatment area and desired outcome.
