DERMAL FILLERS
Let’s talk about balance before volume.
Before we discuss syringes, let’s talk about what concerns you, what’s causing it, and whether filler is the right approach.
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED ↓YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
WHY DO I START WITH YOUR QUESTIONS?
Because choosing filler should start with understanding. I want you to know what we’re treating, why I’m recommending it, and what you can realistically expect before you decide.
WHAT DO DERMAL FILLERS DO?
Dermal fillers can add volume and improve selected contours or folds. Different products serve different purposes. They do not relax muscles like Botox.
WHICH FILLER IS RIGHT FOR ME?
That depends on your anatomy, treatment area, medical history, and goals. We’ll discuss the specific product, why it fits the plan, and its approved uses before treatment.
ARE ALL FILLERS THE SAME?
No. Hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen-stimulating products work differently. Their results, treatment schedules, risks, and removal options differ. We’ll explain which type we’re discussing.
WILL I LOOK OVERFILLED?
My approach is conservative. The goal is balance, not simply adding more. We can discuss a staged plan, and I’ll tell you when I recommend leaving an area alone. No treatment can guarantee a particular appearance.
HOW MUCH FILLER WILL I NEED?
We decide after assessing your face—not from a photograph or a syringe special. I’ll explain the recommended amount and total cost before you agree.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS, AND HOW LONG WILL THEY LAST?
Timing and duration depend on the product and area. Early swelling can affect what you see; collagen-stimulating products develop results gradually. Your plan will include the expected settling time, follow-up, and likely duration for the product selected.
DOES TREATMENT HURT?
You may feel pressure or discomfort. We’ll discuss numbing and other comfort measures, including any allergies to anesthetics.
WILL I HAVE SWELLING OR BRUISING?
Swelling, bruising, tenderness, and redness can occur and may last days to weeks. Allow recovery time before an important event. You’ll receive product-specific aftercare instructions.
CAN FILLER BE DISSOLVED?
Hyaluronic acid filler may be reduced with hyaluronidase, but removal is not a guaranteed or risk-free undo button. Other fillers can be difficult or impossible to remove. We’ll discuss this before treatment.
WHAT ARE THE SERIOUS RISKS?
Accidental injection into a blood vessel can cause tissue damage, blindness, or stroke. Seek immediate medical attention for unusual pain, white, gray, or blue skin near the area, vision changes, or stroke symptoms. We’ll review the full risks and emergency instructions before treatment.
WHO MAY NOT BE A CANDIDATE?
Tell us about allergies, bleeding disorders, infections, previous fillers, all medicines, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Your medical evaluation and the specific product’s labeling determine suitability. Don’t stop prescribed medicines on your own.
CAN FILLER BE COMBINED WITH OTHER TREATMENTS?
Sometimes. We’ll discuss whether another treatment makes more sense, whether a combination is appropriate, and how appointments should be spaced.
WHO PERFORMS MY TREATMENT?
Your injections are personally performed by Nurse Jordan, MSN, BS, RN. We’ll review your concerns and proposed treatment plan together.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Contact Nurse Jordan for current pricing. You’ll receive the proposed product, amount, and total cost before treatment.
WHAT IF I’M STILL UNSURE?
Start with a complimentary 15-minute virtual consultation. An in-person consultation is $250, applied toward treatment performed the same day. Ask your questions first; you don’t need to arrive with a treatment already chosen.

TREATMENT AREAS
We start with what concerns you, then assess the whole area. Explore your options below.
UPPER FACE
Tap a picture to view it larger.
Temples
Changes in temple volume can affect the outline of your upper face. We assess your anatomy before discussing whether filler is appropriate.
Under-eye hollows
Dark circles are not always caused by volume loss. Pigmentation, skin thickness, puffiness, and cheek support all matter.
Brow support
We assess the tissues around your brows and temples. Filler is not a substitute for every type of brow-lifting treatment.
Not every under-eye concern needs filler. Finding the cause comes before choosing the treatment.
MIDFACE

Cheeks
We assess cheek volume, contour, and facial proportions. The goal is an appropriate amount of support—not simply larger cheeks.
Smile lines
Nasolabial folds run from the nose toward the mouth. We assess the fold itself and the surrounding face before recommending a plan.
Cheek-to-under-eye transition
The cheek and under-eye areas are assessed together. Where a shadow appears is not always where treatment belongs.
Your face is assessed as a whole. The same visible fold can call for different plans in different people.
LIPS & LOWER FACE
Tap a picture to view it larger.
Lips
We discuss shape, border definition, proportions, and volume. Your natural lip anatomy guides the plan.
Chin & jawline
We assess profile, projection, and lower-face contour. Filler may be an option for selected concerns, but it does not remove excess skin or fat.
Marionette lines
These lines extend downward from the corners of the mouth. We assess nearby volume, skin laxity, and muscle movement before choosing treatment.
More filler does not automatically mean a better result. Sometimes a smaller amount, a staged plan, or another approach makes more sense.
NECK & DÉCOLLETÉ
Tap a picture to view it larger.
Neck lines
Horizontal lines, vertical bands, and loose skin are different concerns. We first identify what is contributing to yours.
Crepey skin
Thin, finely wrinkled skin is a skin-quality concern. Adding volume alone may not address it.
Décolleté
Sun exposure, texture, and skin changes need their own assessment. We’ll explain suitable options rather than assume filler is the answer.
Not every wrinkle should be filled. Your neck and décolleté may benefit from a different type of treatment; filler use in these areas is off-label.
HANDS
Tap a picture to view it larger.
Volume loss
Loss of fullness can change the appearance of the backs of your hands. Selected fillers have approved uses for hand augmentation.
Visible veins & tendons
Reduced coverage beneath the skin can make these structures more noticeable. We assess whether volume treatment fits your concern.
Skin quality
Pigmentation, sun damage, and texture are separate concerns. They may require a different approach from filler.
A product’s approval is specific to its use and treatment area. A filler used in the face is not automatically suitable for the hands.
Images illustrate treatment concepts, not guaranteed results. Suitability, product choice, and risks depend on your assessment. Approved uses vary by product; some areas shown involve off-label use. We’ll discuss the specific proposal, risks, and alternatives before treatment.
DERMAL FILLER MYTHS
One myth at a time. Swipe to see the next.
MYTH
“FILLER ALWAYS LOOKS FAKE.”
THE REALITY
The goal is a result that fits your features. Product choice, amount, placement, and your anatomy all matter. An unnatural result is possible, so we discuss realistic expectations rather than promise a particular look.
MYTH
“FILLER AND BOTOX DO THE SAME THING.”
THE REALITY
They do different jobs. Fillers add volume or support selected contours. Neuromodulators reduce activity in selected muscles. The right choice starts with what is causing your concern.
MYTH
“EVERY LINE NEEDS FILLER.”
THE REALITY
A line may be related to movement, volume changes, skin quality, or several factors together. Sometimes another treatment—or no treatment—is the better choice.
MYTH
“ONE SYRINGE WORKS THE SAME FOR EVERYONE.”
THE REALITY
The same amount can look different in different faces and treatment areas. Your plan should follow your anatomy and goals, not a preset syringe count.
MYTH
“ALL FILLERS CAN BE DISSOLVED.”
THE REALITY
Hyaluronic acid filler may be reduced with hyaluronidase. Other fillers can be difficult or impossible to remove. Removal also has risks and is not a guaranteed undo button.
MYTH
“MORE FILLER MEANS A BETTER RESULT.”
THE REALITY
More volume does not automatically create better balance. I may recommend a smaller amount, a staged plan, or leaving an area alone.
MYTH
“THE RESULT I SEE IMMEDIATELY IS MY FINAL RESULT.”
THE REALITY
Swelling can change the early appearance. Timing also differs by product; collagen-stimulating products develop results gradually. We’ll explain when to assess your result and arrange follow-up.
MYTH
“FILLER IS JUST A BEAUTY TREATMENT, SO IT’S RISK-FREE.”
THE REALITY
Filler injections are medical procedures. Along with swelling and bruising, serious complications can occur, including blood-vessel blockage, tissue damage, vision loss, or stroke. Understanding the risks is part of deciding whether to proceed.
