Our Dermal Fillers in Grand Rapids, mi

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables designed to treat volume loss and add volume to different areas to enhance the features. All of our dermal fillers in Grand Rapids, MI that we offer are hyaluronic acid-based fillers. They are volumizers designed to restore volume to areas where volume has been lost as a result of the aging process. Not only can they treat aging, but they can also treat cosmetic imperfections like acne scars and enhance the features like the lips and cheeks.

The fillers that we offer can enhance facial features and target the signs of aging in different areas of the face and neck in patients of various ages. Whether you want to restore the volume you’ve lost with the aging process or enhance certain facial features, our experts can evaluate your problem areas and create the right treatment plan.

Dermal Fillers and Volume Loss

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. 

THE RESTYLANE COLLECTION

The Restylane collection is a popular line of dermal fillers Grand Rapids residents 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 injector 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.

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 in Bellafill provides immediate volume and lift for results that you can enjoy as soon as you leave the office. Over time, the collagen 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. 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.

Sculptra

Sculptra is an innovative, FDA-approved injectable designed to restore facial volume and rejuvenate your skin by stimulating natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers that provide immediate volume, Sculptra works gradually to rebuild the skin’s underlying structure, offering a more natural and long-lasting improvement. It’s particularly effective for addressing facial volume loss due to aging, deep wrinkles, and folds, helping to achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance.

WHAT MAKES SCULPTRA DIFFERENT?

What sets Sculptra apart from other dermal fillers is its unique approach to facial rejuvenation. While most fillers rely on substances like hyaluronic acid to provide instant volume, Sculptra’s primary ingredient, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), works gradually by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. This means that instead of simply filling in wrinkles or adding volume temporarily, Sculptra helps to rebuild the skin’s underlying structure, offering a more natural and lasting improvement.

Another key difference is the longevity of Sculptra’s results. Traditional fillers often require frequent touch-ups, but Sculptra’s effects can last up to two years or more. This extended duration is due to its ability to address the root cause of facial aging—collagen loss—rather than just masking the symptoms. The gradual nature of the results also means that the changes to your appearance are subtle, making Sculptra an excellent choice for those who want a natural, refreshed look without the sudden, noticeable changes that can come with other treatments. This makes Sculptra particularly appealing for patients seeking a long-term solution to facial aging with minimal maintenance.

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.
