The Complete Guide to Dermal Fillers: Types, Areas, and Results
Dermal fillers have revolutionized facial rejuvenation, offering remarkable results without surgery. At West Asheville Aesthetics & Wellness, we provide premium dermal fillers in Asheville with a focus on natural-looking outcomes. Understanding the various filler options can help you make informed decisions about your aesthetic journey. This guide explores different dermal fillers, their ideal treatment areas, and what results you can realistically expect.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. Unlike neurotoxins (such as Botox) that relax muscles, fillers physically “fill” areas that have lost volume due to aging, creating immediate improvements in facial appearance.
Most modern fillers are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) – a naturally occurring substance in your body that attracts and retains moisture. Other fillers use different technologies to stimulate your body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting results.
Types of Dermal Fillers We Offer in Asheville
Restylane Family
Restylane products are hyaluronic acid-based fillers known for their versatility and reliable results. Each Restylane formula is designed with specific properties to address particular concerns:
Restylane Lyft provides substantial volume for cheek enhancement and correcting age-related midface volume loss. Its thicker consistency makes it ideal for deeper injections that create noticeable lift.
Restylane Silk features a smoother, more fluid formulation perfect for subtle lip enhancement and treating fine perioral lines. It creates natural-looking volume without an overfilled appearance.
Restylane Refyne and Defyne incorporate unique XpresHAn Technology™, allowing for flexible, natural-looking results that maintain your normal facial expressions even when addressing moderate to deep facial folds.
Sculptra Aesthetic
Unlike traditional fillers, Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which works differently by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. The results develop gradually over several months, creating a subtle, natural-looking improvement in facial volume that can last up to two years.
Sculptra excels at addressing overall facial volume loss rather than targeting specific wrinkles. It’s particularly effective for hollow temples, sunken cheeks, and deep nasolabial folds. Many clients appreciate Sculptra’s gradual approach – friends notice you looking refreshed without realizing you’ve had treatment.
Radiesse
Radiesse consists of calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It immediately adds volume while stimulating collagen production for longer-term benefits. Radiesse works exceptionally well for deeper lines and folds and can even be used for non-surgical hand rejuvenation.
Teosyal RHA
The Resilient Hyaluronic Acid (RHA) collection is designed to adapt to your facial movements, making it ideal for dynamic areas of the face. These advanced fillers maintain natural expressiveness while addressing moderate to severe wrinkles and folds.
Natural Alternatives: PRF Treatment
For clients seeking the most natural approach, we offer Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) treatments. This technique uses your body’s own healing factors to improve skin texture and volume. By processing a small sample of your blood, we isolate growth factors and platelets that stimulate collagen production when injected into targeted areas. PRF offers subtle enhancement with zero risk of allergic reaction.
Common Treatment Areas for Dermal Fillers
Cheeks and Midface
As we age, the cheeks naturally lose volume and begin to flatten or sag. Fillers restore youthful contours by replacing lost volume, lifting the midface, and creating a subtle but noticeable rejuvenation. Sculptra and Restylane Lyft excel in this area.
Lips and Perioral Region
Whether addressing age-related thinning or enhancing naturally thin lips, fillers can create subtle volume while maintaining natural movement and expression. The perioral area (lines around the mouth) also responds well to targeted filler treatment.
Under-Eye Hollows
Hollow or sunken areas under the eyes (tear troughs) can create a tired appearance regardless of how rested you are. Specialized techniques using lighter hyaluronic acid fillers can brighten this area without creating puffiness.
Nasolabial Folds and Marionette Lines
These common signs of aging – the lines running from nose to mouth corners and from mouth corners to chin – can be softened with strategic filler placement that respects your natural facial structure.
Jawline Definition
A well-defined jawline creates a youthful, balanced profile. Fillers can enhance jawline definition and address early jowl formation without surgery.
What to Expect: The Dermal Filler Experience
At West Asheville Aesthetics & Wellness, your filler treatment begins with a thorough consultation. Our skilled injector, Dawn Hanson RN, often uses ultrasound guidance for certain injections, ensuring safe, precise placement for optimal results.
Most filler treatments take 30-60 minutes, with results visible immediately (except Sculptra, which develops gradually). Minor swelling or bruising may occur but typically resolves within days. Results generally last 6-18 months depending on the product used and individual factors.
