Introduction to Dermal Fillers at New You Wellness Center
New You Wellness Center, serving Houston, TX, offers Dermal fillers therapy, which involves injecting soft, gel-like substances beneath the skin to diminish deep under-eye circles, enhance lip volume, contour cheekbones, smooth lip lines, and minimize nasolabial wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive treatment used to diminish facial wrinkles and restore volume and fullness to the face by essentially replenishing lost volume in regions of the face and promoting the smoothing of deep set lines.
Dermal fillers are mostly confused with Botox. The differences between Botox and dermal fillers lie in their ability to inhibit the contraction of tiny facial muscles responsible for wrinkle formation, while dermal fillers plump from under the wrinkle to smooth them out and enhance the young appearance.
Instructions For Dermal Fillers and What To Expect
Before the Procedure
- Avoid scheduling any other facial treatments (e.g., waxing, chemical peels) for at least 2 weeks prior.
- Avoid taking NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) and blood-thinning supplements (e.g., Gingko Biloba, Vitamin E, Fish Oil) for at least 1 week prior.
During the Procedure
- Refrain from alcohol consumption for 24 to 48 hours before the procedure.
- Stay well-hydrated, and eat a healthy meal before your appointment to avoid feeling lightheaded.
- The filler will be injected into the targeted areas, which usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes.
- The treatment area will be cleaned, and a numbing agent may be applied.
- You may feel slight pressure or a pinching sensation during the injections.
After the Procedure
- Expect some swelling, redness, or bruising; these typically subside within a few days.
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling and take any recommended over-the-counter medications if needed.
- Avoid alcohol and excessive sun exposure for 24 to 48 hours.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or hot tubs for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment.
- Do not touch, massage, or apply pressure to the treated areas for 24 hours.

Typical Dermal Fillers Available at Our Medical Spa
-
Juvederm
In the realm of skin rejuvenation, Juvederm stands out as a renowned and reliable brand of dermal fillers. Designed with a smooth gel formulation, Juvederm injections aim to enhance volume and diminish the visibility of wrinkles, resulting in a naturally rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
-
Sculptra
Sculptra, developed by the same company that produces Dysport, is an FDA-approved injectable formulation designed to progressively replenish depleted collagen. The protein collagen is the predominant component in the human body and is responsible for providing the skin with resilience and fullness. Owing to the inherent process of aging and certain medical disorders, collagen levels gradually decrease over time. The Sculptra serum enhances the innate ability of the human body to promote the synthesis of collagen. Typically, this can be applied on any part of the face to counteract the loss of collagen.
-
Restylane
The Restylane product series is designed to mimic the natural performance of hyaluronic acid in the human body. Restylane’s XpresHAn Technology synergistically engages with the body’s endogenous hyaluronic acid (HA) to replenish skin volume while preserving the inherent facial expression.
Some of the types of Restylane fillers:
- Restylane Contour– Restylane Contour is authorized for use in the mid-face/cheek to provide volume restoration.
- Restylane Kysse- Restylane Kysse has the volumizing and moisturizing properties of the lips and effectively smoothes the upper lip line.
- Restylane Lyft– Restylane Lyft refines the shape of the lateral cheekbones and enhances the volume of the mid-face and back of the hands.
- Restylane Refyne and Defyne– Excellent choices for minimizing moderate to deep face wrinkles and folds, including what are often referred to as “smile lines/laugh lines,” marionette lines, and nasolabial folds. Restylane Defyne is recommended for the purpose of chin enhancement.
- Merz
Additionally, Merz Aesthetics, the manufacturer of Xeomin, offers two distinct fillers.
- Belotero is a hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal filler designed to minimize facial wrinkles and moisturize the skin’s surface, therefore maintaining a rejuvenated appearance. Belotero is an excellent option for creating linear contours above the lips and behind the ocular hollows. One of the benefits of Belotero is that it lacks the characteristic of causing puffiness or the Tyndall effect. Tyndall effect refers to the blue hue that appears on the skin after the application of HA filler.
- Radiesse is a calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa)-based dermal filler formula. It offers substantial volume and contouring that is sought after for a contoured cheek or a well-defined jawline. Comprising a biodegradable gel and calcium-based microspheres, this substance functions as a scaffold under the skin and promotes collagen synthesis for several months after injection. This resilient filler is often used to enhance the appearance of the cheeks, jawline, and chin.
-
Revanesse Versa
This dermal filler contains hyaluronic acid gel. It is often indicated for the treatment of moderate to severe facial folds and wrinkles. Versa is multifunctional and suitable for use in distinct facial regions like lips, around the mouth, under the eye, and others.
