How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers work by strategically replacing volume below the skin to contour, support and balance the facial features. Commonly treated areas include:

  • Lips
  • Chin
  • Cheeks
  • Nasolabial folds or “parentheses” marionette lines
  • Jawline and jowling
  • Chin augmentation
  • Temple
  • Hollow tear troughs

SkinVive helps the skin retain its natural moisture, glow, hydration and softness leading to an improvement in the skin smoothness of the cheeks, around the mouth, lips, crows feet, hands and more. A typical treatment is 2-4 syringes and the effects last from 6-9 months.

Which Dermal Filler Is Best for Me?

At Revive, we offer a range of different filler options for different treatment areas and concerns. Your experienced provider will recommend the best product for your unique goals.

RADIESSE®

RADIESSE is made of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres, which stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. We use this filler for liquid butt lifts and larger areas that need a more significant volume boost, such as the neck, décollete, abdomen, elbows, and knees.

What Is It Like To Have Dermal Fillers Injected?

We like to start our dermal filler appointments with an extensive consult. Try to arrive make-up free and we will take some pictures. While looking at the pictures, we can discuss your concerns and wishes.

We will explain how your face is adapting to the aging process and what options are available for you to do that will keep your face looking the same, just more well-rested. We believe everyone is beautiful without treatments, and having dermal fillers is just an enhancement.

After designing a custom treatment plan, if you are having the treatment done that day, your injector will thoroughly cleanse your face, apply numbing cream if needed, or give a short acting dental block if necessary for a lip treatment. The injections typically take less than one hour.

What Is Recovery Like After Dermal Filler Injections?

After your dermal filler injections, it is important to avoid touching the area, except for washing your face. Avoid dental work for 4 weeks, as well as vaccines. We do not recommend traveling for a few days due to possible swelling, and any need for a recheck. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise and hot tubs or saunas for 48 hours.

There is a possibility of bruising, and so we recommend avoiding ibuprofen, fish oil, baby aspirin and excessive alcohol for a week before your treatment. You can start taking Arnica tablets prior to your treatment if you wish. We do have a laser to help with bruising should that be an issue.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

We use Allergan dermal fillers, which are the highest quality of fillers out there. They will last for 12-24 months or longer. Similar brands are indicated for 6-12 months.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers Cost?

The cost of dermal fillers at our Des Moines-area clinic depends on the amount and type of filler injected. We’ll discuss pricing during your consultation and provide you with a personalized estimate. Stefanie Gatica and our team of talented injectors specialize in full face rejuvenation and balancing. We will provide you a roadmap to get your goals obtained.
