Filler 101

Dermal fillers help temporarily fill moderate to severe wrinkles and folds and correct age-related volume loss in the midface. Most dermal fillers have a temporary effect because the natural materials are absorbed by the body over time.

There are many different types of materials used in dermal fillers. At Glow, we carry fillers made out the following materials: Hyaluronic acid, Calcium hydroxylapatite, and Poly-L-lactic acid

  • Hyaluronic acid (HA)is a molecule naturally found in the human body that can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water. When injected beneath the skin, dermal fillers not only help plump up the areas that have lost volume, but the HA helps attract water to the area to help plump the appearance of the treated area even more. Additionally, many dermal fillers are also formulated to include lidocaine to help reduce sensitivity during injection in the treatment area.

HA Fillers we carry: Juvederm XC,  Juvéderm Voluma, Juvéderm Vollure, Restylane, Restylane Silk, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, and Restylane Defyne

  • Calcium hydroxylapatiteis a mineral commonly found in human teeth and bones. When used for wrinkle filling, the particles are suspended in a gel-like solution and then injected into the face or hand with results lasting approximately 18 months.

CaHA fillers we carry: Radiesse+, RHA 4

What areas can be treated with dermal fillers?

Dermal filler is commonly used to treat moderate to severe facial folds, lines, and wrinkles, as well as replenishing volume loss related to aging and volume deficits. Common treatment areas include nasolabial folds, lips, cheeks, jaw and chin, and more.

Which Filler Do I Need?

Each filler is designed to have a different texture, density, and injection depth. Certain fillers work better for certain areas than others. At Glow Balance, the owner and injector, Patricia Stokes will consult you on what the best filler is for your needs!
