Derma filler injections are an excellent way to fill existing deep lines and regain fullness in the cheeks and lips. The injections instantly rejuvenate your appearance by smoothing unwanted lines, restoring natural contours, and enhancing lips.

At the Spa on Hunter we only use top-of-the-line fillers from industry leaders Restylane and Juvederm. Our fillers work to re-establish contours that denote youth, beauty and robust health and well-being in just a few easy sessions, Our injectables consist of stabilized hyaluronic acid and a physiological sodium chloride solution. The hyaluronic acid is a natural substance already present in your body. As the gel is injected into the skin, it adds volume to lips and lifts wrinkles and folds.

Where can Derma Fillers be Used?

Most common treatment areas include:

• Forehead (to ease the lines across the forehead and between the eyebrows)
• Eyes (smooths away fine, superficial lines in the eye area)
• Cheeks (creates the appearance of more prominent cheekbones or smoother cheek contours)
• Lips and surrounding area ( adds plumpness to lips or improves lip border volume to add definition)
• Jawline ( increases volume to help firm and define the jaw line)
• Chin (increases the size of the chin and lifts unsightly drooping)

*Very superficial or very deep wrinkles may be difficult to correct.

The Procedure
A soft replenishing injectable gel, made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar found in your body, is injected into the skin to lift the lip, wrinkle or fold. Inside your skin, the gel creates volume, resulting in a healthy, vital appearance. When injected into the lip the gel can restore a more natural and/or sensuous look, in contrast to alternative biodegradable implants.

The Spa and Hunter only uses fillers that are not animal-based, so there is no risk of allergic reactions for sensitive types. Because of this, they are perfectly safe to use instantly without pre-testing.

Each treatment usually lasts from nine to twelve months. Some individuals prefer dramatic changes; others prefer a more subtle, nuanced change. The beauty of our fillers is that your look can be finely tailored to achieve your unique, desired results.

Before Treatment
Pre-treat wrinkles with a very thick application of freezing gel if you have no history of allergies. If treating the lips, try using topical freezing gel, but an injectable freezing gel (given at the spa) also may be necessary. Bring along some makeup as a cover up after the procedure if you want.

After Treatment
A treatment can take up to 45 minutes to attain a desired look. A little redness and swelling may occur, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Bruising is an uncommon development, but may occur during treatment. Minimal bruising can be hidden with makeup following the treatment. Cold packs can be used to address swelling, but do not use ice. Handle the area gently for the first week, because it will be tender and forceful handling can result in swelling and in displacing the filler.
