Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers
WHAT ARE THEY
Face fillers, also known as dermal fillers, are small injections of a gel-like substance, typically made up of hyaluronic acid that fill in wrinkles and add volume to soft tissue.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are similar to a naturally occurring substance found in your skin. It gives your skin volume and keeps it hydrated.
Common fillers used at Skin Damsel Aesthetics are:
Restylane, Juvederm, Revanesse Versa, and Teoxane RHA fillers. These are the most common dermal fillers and can last 9-24 months. The cost of your dermal filler treatment will be based on several factors such as the type of dermal filler used, the amount of product needed, and other factors.
Dermal fillers start at $675-$850 per syringe and Mini – Lip $450 (1/2 syringe).
What to Expect
There is some pain and discomfort associated with this treatment but we minimize this by applying an anesthetic cream before treatment and we love using Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for our patients who are a bit more anxious. The most common side effects include redness, swelling, pain, itching, bruising, and tenderness at the injection location that usually resolve within 5-7 days. Please 7-10 days of healing for any big events.
Treatment areas:
- Full Lip
- Mini Lip ½ syringe
- Mid Face/Cheek
- Jawline
- Temples
- Tear Troughs
- Necklines
- Smokers lines /Barcode lines

Filler preparation
Our goal is to give you the best results possible, in the safest way possible. Because of this, please reschedule your appointment if:
- You have dental work scheduled two weeks pre- or post-injectable treatment.
- You have vaccinations scheduled two weeks pre- or post-injectable treatment.
- You are currently sick or taking antibiotics for an infection.
- You have an important event scheduled in the two weeks following your treatment for which you absolutely cannot be swollen or bruised.
- You have an active cold sore. If you have a history of cold sores, please notify me prior to your lip filler appointment so that I am able to get an antiviral prescribed for you. Lip injections can cause a cold sore outbreak if you have a history of cold sores.
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How to prep for you appointment
- Minimum 72 hours prior to injectable appointment, avoid all blood-thinning products (unless prescribed by your Doctor), including any OTC supplements (fish oil, turmeric, vitamin E, etc.), NSAIDS (Advil, Aspirin, Ibuprofen, etc.), and ALL ALCOHOL. For extra caution, avoid these for one week prior to treatment.
- Avoid excess caffeine the day of treatment. One cup of coffee is fine.
- Avoid working out prior to treatment. This increased blood-flow, which will cause bruising to be more likely.
- Begin taking Arnica Montana tablets and Bromelain capsules one week prior to treatment, per bottle instructions. These can be found at your local Whole Foods, Sprouts, or on Amazon.
- To decrease the risk of infection, please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
