How It Works
Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance that our bodies make naturally. Hyaluronic acid is the main ingredient used to create collagen and elastin, which helps to restore and strengthen the cellular structure of our skin.
Dermal fillers work by delivering immediate results using hyaluronic acid to fill the lost volume in your features. As it is slowly absorbed by your body over a few months, the extra collagen and elastin produced by the hyaluronic acid will cause your skin to naturally retain the lifting effects of treatment on its own.
Benefits
Dermal fillers are an exceptional treatment that uses naturally occurring ingredients to deliver lasting results for wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.

The Dermal Filler Process
Step 1: Consultation
To begin your treatment, you’ll meet directly with one of our providers for a one-on-one consultation. Then, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan based on your unique needs. Together, you and your provider will talk about your medical history, your aesthetic concerns, and which treatments would best suit you.
Step 2: Treatment
When you arrive for your fillers in Westlake, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and marking the places where your injections will go. Our skilled provider will apply a topical numbing agent to enhance comfort and use their expert skills to add volume to your features—all while making your results look natural. Your appointment will only take 30 to 45 minutes.
Step 3: Recovery
Fillers require no downtime—though you may experience some minimal bruising—so you can return to your daily activities as normal once your appointment is finished. You will notice immediate results, and once the filler has had time to be absorbed by your body, you can enjoy your skin-smoothing results for up to 6 months.
Pre-Care & Post-Care Instructions
- Arrive at your appointment with clean skin that has no makeup, lotion, or perfumes present.
- Drink plenty of water before your treatment. This will help increase the efficacy of your fillers.
- Don’t drink alcohol or use tobacco products for 2 days before your appointment.
- Wear a minimum of SPF 30 sunscreen to protect your skin from sun damage.
- Drink plenty of water to speed up the healing process and increase the efficacy of your treatment.
- Do not touch or massage your injection areas (unless instructed) to prevent the filler from moving from its designated spot.
