Fillers & Injectables
At Via Skin Medical Spa we take pride in always sourcing the best fillers and injectables for all treatments. We also take pride in staffing the finest experienced professionals to handle all injections and treatments.
What are injectable dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours.
Which filler do you need?
Our Via Skin staff can help guide you in deciding which filler best fits your needs and goals.
Each product is uniquely formulated to have a certain texture, density, and injection depth.
What to expect during treatment?
Dermal filler injections are non-surgical and typically completed during an office visit. Your initial treatment will begin with a consultation from one of our experienced and caring Via Skin staff members to discuss your concerns and goals.
Pre-treatment consultation
During your consultation, we will evaluate your area of concern and review your medical history. While the risks associated with dermal fillers are minimal, you need to fully disclose your medical history prior to treatment, as certain allergies, skin and neurological conditions, or medications can jeopardize your safety or results. For instance, please let us know if you have been taking NSAIDs (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen) or blood thinners, as these increase the likelihood of bruising.
Your injectable filler treatment
Just before the actual treatment, the area will be cleaned, and you may be given a topical anesthetic to numb the area prior to injection. Many filler products also contain lidocaine, a mild anesthetic, which is intended to help minimize discomfort during and after your treatment.
Some patients experience mild bruising and swelling, but these are temporary and should subside over the days following treatment. You will be able to go back to your normal activities right after treatment.
