At Proper Eu in Grand Rapids, we believe fillers should be personalized, natural-looking, and safe. That’s why we offer both Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers and Biostimulator fillers, giving you options tailored to your unique goals. Whether you’re looking for instant volume or gradual, long-term collagen stimulation, our expert providers will help you choose the right solution for refreshed, youthful results.
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables designed to treat volume loss and add definition to different areas of the face. As we age, natural volume decreases, leading to lines, folds, and changes in facial contour. Fillers act as volumizers, restoring fullness, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing features like the lips and cheeks. They can also improve cosmetic concerns such as acne scars, giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance.
Why get dermal filler?
As you age, gravity takes its toll on the face and causes volume loss, resulting in changes in the facial structure. The dermal fillers we offer can correct volume loss by adding immediate volume to problem areas and plumping the existing tissue while improving water absorption or work to improve and rebuild collagen over time.
HA Filler
- Think of HA fillers as instant refreshers.
- They use a naturally occurring sugar in your body (hyaluronic acid) to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance lips or cheeks.
- Results are visible immediately and can be adjusted or reversed if needed.
At Proper Eu we offer: Restylane and Juvederm.
- Restylane® Kysse: Lip filler designed for soft, natural-looking lips with flexible movement; lasts up to 1 year.
- Restylane® Lyft: Restores volume in cheeks and hands for a smoother, fuller, more youthful look.
- Restylane® Refyne: Softens laugh lines while preserving natural facial expressions.
- Restylane® Defyne: Smooths deep laugh lines and enhances chin projection with natural movement.
- Restylane® Contour: Restores cheek definition and lift for balanced, natural-looking midface support.
Best for: Immediate volume, plumping lips, smoothing wrinkles, lifting cheeks, and contouring facial features.
Biostimulators
- Unlike HA fillers, biostimulators work by stimulating your body’s own collagen production for gradual, longer-lasting improvements.
- Instead of just filling, they rebuild and restore the skin’s structure from within.
At Proper Eu, we offer:
- Sculptra® – stimulates collagen for natural volume over time.
- Radiesse®: calcium-based biostimulator that instantly restores volume while stimulating collagen for long-term improvement.
- Bellafill® – long-lasting collagen stimulator, also FDA-approved for acne scars.
- Derma – advanced filler created from your own PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) that’s processed to concentrate growth factors.
- PRP/Exosomes – while not fillers themselves, they can be used alongside treatments to enhance skin quality and support regeneration. (See our PRP & Exosome pages for more details.)
HA Fillers We Offer
THE RESTYLANE COLLECTION
The Restylane collection is a popular line of dermal fillers designed to restore volume to different areas of the face. These fillers can effectively treat some of the most common signs of aging that result from volume loss, including hollow areas, sagging or drooping, and thinning lips.
WHAT THEY TREAT
The Restylane collection of fillers contains hyaluronic acid-based fillers. Different fillers from this collection will restore volume up to the lips, smooth lip lines, restore volume to the backs of the hands, correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles, and smooth lines and folds on the lower half of the face.
They can erase laugh lines, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and even enhance the chin profile. They can also add natural volume and definition to the cheeks and restore a more youthful appearance to the face and hands.
THE RESULTS
Once injected with a Restylane filler, you can expect immediate improvements in your problem area. It takes time for the filler to settle beneath the skin’s surface, so your results will continue to improve every week following your treatment. Patients typically experience the best results within two weeks of the injection process. One of the benefits of the Restylane collection of fillers is that they deliver both immediate and long-lasting results.
Based on the filler you choose and your injection area, your results may last anywhere from six months to two years, based on how your body metabolizes the product. Our injectors will give you more details about the results you can expect when you add a Restylane filler to your treatment plan.
In the facial filler before and after images, filler was injected into the cheeks and zygomatic region. You can see a significant volume increase in the cheeks and a lesser appearance of smile lines and wrinkles near the corners of the eyes. The zygomatic region has significantly improved. The lip filler images are immediately after injection. Swelling is to be expected and will go down within a few days.
JUVEDERM ULTRA
Juvederm Ultra is a popular and effective filler from the Juvederm line that is formulated specifically to treat the signs of aging on the lower and middle half of the face and the lips.
It can be injected into areas around the mouth that have developed moderate to more severe lines, including different smile lines like parenthesis lines and nasolabial folds. It can also be injected into the lips to add volume to improve your appearance or restore volume to your lips that have thinned due to the aging process.
THE RESULTS
As soon as you’re injected with Juvederm Ultra, you’ll see immediate improvements in the appearance of your target treatment area. You can expect the results of this filler to last up to one year. Once you begin to notice changes in the appearance of your treatment area, you can schedule a follow-up treatment with this Juvederm filler to help maintain your results long-term.
Biostimulators We Offer
Sculptra
Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that gradually restores facial volume and rejuvenates skin by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant results, Sculptra works over time to rebuild the skin’s underlying structure, creating subtle, natural-looking improvements in deep wrinkles, folds, and volume loss.
WHAT MAKES SCULPTRA DIFFERENT?
Uses poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) to stimulate long-term collagen growth.
Results develop gradually, allowing for a refreshed, natural appearance without sudden changes.
Effects can last up to two years or more, reducing the need for frequent touch-ups.
THE RESULTS
The results from Sculptra develop over several weeks to months as your body produces new collagen. Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements in skin texture, volume, and facial contours within 4-6 weeks after the initial treatment, with full results typically emerging after a series of sessions. One of the major benefits of Sculptra is its longevity, with effects lasting up to two years or more, making it a cost-effective option for those seeking sustained facial rejuvenation. If you’re looking for a subtle, yet transformative treatment that addresses the underlying causes of aging, Sculptra could be the ideal solution for you.
BELLAFILL FILLER
Bellafill® is the only dermal filler that stimulates collagen growth long term to help maintain your youthful appearance for up to 5 years. Now, you can look your best without wasting time and money on frequent filler injections. Treating smile lines and acne scarring best, this is the perfect way for natural-looking, long-lasting filler.
HOW IT WORKS
Bellafill replaces lost volume in the skin below the indentation for correction that is both immediate and lasting. The collagen gel in Bellafill provides immediate volume and lift for results that you can enjoy as soon as you leave the office. Over time, the gel is reabsorbed while the PMMA microspheres are left behind. They create a supportive base that allows more of your own collagen to develop, resulting in smoother-looking skin in the long term.
THE RESULTS
Bellafill is an injectable filler that’s FDA approved to treat nasolabial folds and acne scarring. These folds, sometimes called “smile lines,” extend from the nose to the corners of the mouth. Not only smile lines though, but acne scarring is treated as well. Bellafill provides instant smoothness, with long-lasting results: In the longest and largest study ever conducted on dermal fillers, Bellafill was proven to be effective through five years. That means that you can enjoy your results for much longer than you would with hyaluronic acid-based fillers.
radiesse
Radiesse is a calcium-based biostimulator designed to restore lost facial volume and smooth wrinkles while also stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide temporary volume, Radiesse works both instantly and over time, creating long-lasting, natural-looking results.
WHAT MAKES radiesse DIFFERENT?
Provides immediate lift and structure to areas like cheeks, jawline, and chin.
Stimulates collagen production for gradual improvement in skin texture and firmness.
Effects can last up to a year or more, depending on treatment area and individual response.
THE RESULTS
Radiesse delivers immediate volume and lift, creating a more youthful, contoured appearance right after treatment. Over time, its calcium-based microspheres stimulate natural collagen production, leading to continued improvement in skin smoothness, firmness, and overall texture. FDA-approved for correcting moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as nasolabial folds, as well as for restoring volume in the hands, Radiesse provides results that can last 12 to 18 months. The combination of instant correction and long-term collagen stimulation makes Radiesse a versatile option for patients seeking both immediate and lasting rejuvenation.
Dermafiller
Derma is an innovative, 100% natural filler made from your own blood using platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Through a specialized process, the PRP is transformed into a gel-like filler that can be injected just like traditional dermal fillers. Because it’s created from your body’s own growth factors, Derma not only restores subtle volume but also promotes collagen stimulation and tissue regeneration for healthier, more youthful skin.
WHAT MAKES dermafiller DIFFERENT?
Patients looking for a 100% natural filler option
Improving skin quality, fine lines, and texture
Subtle volume restoration in areas like under-eyes, cheeks, or scars
Individuals interested in regenerative treatments
THE RESULTS
Derma delivers subtle, natural-looking volume along with gradual improvements in skin tone and texture. Results build over time as collagen production increases, and can last several months. Many patients choose to combine Derma with other regenerative treatments such as PRP injections, exosomes, or microneedling for enhanced skin rejuvenation and overall revitalization.

One of the benefits of using dermal fillers is that you can temporarily stop treatment without experiencing any adverse reactions. Your body will simply metabolize the hyaluronic acid-based product, and your face will resume its pre-injection state. Some women must temporarily stop using fillers while pregnant and then resume once their primary care physician clears them. If that’s the case, we can work with you and resume treatment when it’s right for you.
