Your Skin, Renewed

Over time, facial collagen, fat, and moisture diminish, leading to loose skin and wrinkles. Fillers add volume to the skin with immediate results that often continue to improve over time. Dr. Olson can use a single product or a combination of products to: 

  • Add volume to the face
  • Diminish smile lines
  • Enhance the lips
  • Reduce marionette lines
  • Reshape the nose as part of a “liquid rhinoplasty” 
  • Lift drooping corners of the mouth
  • Correct sagging skin in the pre-jowl area of the jawline
  • Decrease chin wrinkles
  • Improve confidence and a look of youthful vitality

Many patients also choose non-filler injectables such as BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® or KYBELLA® as alternative or complementary treatments. BOTOX and Dysport treat expression lines like crow’s feet and frown lines, while KYBELLA reduces fat beneath the chin.

Which type of dermal filler is right for you?

The Advanced Skin Lounge offers several filler formulations that each work in slightly different ways. When you visit for treatment, your injector will discuss your options with you to determine the best product for your goals and anatomy. Available products include:

JUVÉDERM Family of Fillers 

  • JUVÉDERM Ultra XC smooths moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, particularly around the nose and mouth, and adds volume to lips for a natural, plump look. 
  • JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus offers enhanced thickness and durability, making it ideal for deeper facial wrinkles and folds, as well as significant lip augmentation. 
  • JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA® is designed for subtle lip enhancement. It smooths fine lines around the mouth, providing a soft and natural finish. 
  • JUVÉDERM VOLLURE® combines flexibility and longevity to address moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. Results last up to 18 months. 
  • JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® adds volume to the cheeks, enhancing facial contours and providing a youthful lift that can last up to 2 years. 
  • Skinvive™ by JUVÉDERM hydrates and improves the quality of the skin, offering a radiant, smooth complexion without adding volume. 
  • JUVÉDERM VOLUX® is specifically formulated for jawline definition, offering a strong, sculpted appearance that enhances facial structure and symmetry. 

Restylane Family of Fillers 

  • Restylane provides versatile solutions for smoothing facial wrinkles and folds and adding volume to the skin. 
  • Restylane-L effectively reduces more pronounced wrinkles like nasolabial folds, plumps the lips, and enhances facial contours. 
  • Restylane Kysse is designed for lip augmentation, delivering soft, natural-looking results with improved flexibility, color, and texture. 
  • Restylane Refyne uses XpresHAn Technology™ to treat mild to moderate facial wrinkles and folds while allowing for natural expression and flexibility. 
  • Restylane Defyne targets deeper facial lines and folds with enhanced elasticity, providing a natural look and feel for dynamic facial expressions. 
  • Restylane Contour is specifically formulated for cheek augmentation, offering a lift and contour to the midface for a balanced, youthful appearance. 
  • Restylane Lyft adds volume to the cheeks and hands, addressing age-related volume loss with a natural-looking lift. 
  • Restylane Silk focuses on lip enhancement and smoothing fine lines around the mouth, providing precise and subtle results. 
  • Restylane Eyelight brightens and rejuvenates the under eye area, reducing the appearance of dark circles and delivering a refreshed look. 

Biostimulators 

  • RADIESSE consists of tiny calcium-based microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. In addition to adding volume, it triggers the growth of new collagen for longer-lasting fullness. 
  • Sculptra Aesthetic stimulates collagen production to improve volume. Made of a safe, naturally absorbed poly-L-lactic acid formula, Sculptra has become popular for buttock augmentation for those who aren’t surgical candidates, as well as a cellulite treatment. Treatment involves a regimen of up to 4 injection sessions at about 3-week intervals.

BOTOX® & Dysport® Treatment Areas

What is a liquid facelift?

As you can see in the above illustration, you can enjoy comprehensive rejuvenation by combining dermal fillers with neuromodulators. This comprehensive procedure, known as a liquid facelift, offers an attractive alternative to patients looking to avoid or delay facelift surgery

What are dermal filler treatments like?

Treatments are generally very brief and require little recovery time. After thoroughly discussing your goals, your injector will carefully administer the product through a short series of injections with a fine, flexible microcannula. You’ll be able to see your results immediately, so you can adjust your look along the way, as needed. 

“I got my lips injected with Juvederm from Dr. Josh Olson, board-certified plastic surgeon, at Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute in Gilbert, AZ. I had an amazing experience from start to finish and couldn’t be happier with how they turned out…. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for any med-spa services or cosmetic surgery! Thank you Dr. Olson for my beautiful lips, I love them so much :)”

Individual results may vary.

How long is recovery?

Recovery typically only lasts a day or 2, though you’ll likely be able to return to your normal activities during this time. After your appointment, you may experience bruising, redness, or swelling around your injection sites. This should subside quickly. You’ll need to avoid putting pressure on the area or raising your blood pressure significantly (through exercise, etc.) for the first few hours. 

How long will your results last?

The lifespan of your results will depend on the formulation and how quickly your body naturally breaks down the product. 

  • JUVÉDERM results may last up to 2 years with a single treatment; however, this varies with the area treated and the specific filler used. 
  • RADIESSE results have been known to last 12 to 18 months before requiring a touch-up treatment. 
  • Sculptra results can last up to 2 years or longer, although patient experiences vary. 
  • Restylane results may last 1 to 2 years depending on the type of Restylane product and the area injected. 

Combining Dermal Fillers With Other Treatments

Many patients choose to enhance the effects of dermal fillers by combining them with other nonsurgical treatments. For example, pairing fillers with BOTOX simultaneously addresses volume loss and smooths dynamic wrinkles. Laser treatments such as MOXI® laser firm the skin while a rejuvenating chemical peel can further improve skin discoloration and texture. Customizing a treatment plan that combines fillers with complementary procedures allows us to help you address multiple concerns while enhancing your overall glow.

Dermal Fillers FAQs

Are dermal fillers worth it?

Yes, for many patients, dermal fillers offer noticeable and lasting results that restore facial volume, enhance certain features, and smooth wrinkles, enabling them to feel more confident.

How painful are dermal fillers?

You may experience some mild discomfort during the injection, but most fillers contain a numbing agent called lidocaine designed to enhance your comfort during treatment.

What should I do after my dermal fillers?

After your treatment, we recommend avoiding strenuous activity and direct sun exposure. You should also refrain from putting pressure on the injection sites for the first few hours post-treatment. Otherwise, you can return to your normal routine right away!
