Finding the right wrinkle-smoothing, volume-boosting filler for your needs
Injections with dermal or soft tissue filler are among the best non-surgical, anti-aging, wrinkle-fighting treatments on the market today. However, dozens of different types of FDA-approved fillers are available to soften wrinkles and other depressions and add volume, contour, and definition to hollow, sunken, saggy areas that could use the “lift.” Amber Deangilis is a master injector, aesthetic nurse practitioner, and family nurse practitioner. This is where you can rely on her experience. Amber and our team of facial artists in Scottsdale, Arizona, carefully work with you to determine the best recommendations for you. While all fillers can benefit someone, they are not formulated to be appropriate for everyone.
What fillers does DS Skin & Lips Medical Spa use?
We like Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers. These are among the most popular types of fillers and for very good reason. Our team may select a filler from the Juvéderm® or the Restylane® family. These are a collection of fillers uniquely designed to treat certain areas of the face and specific concerns.
Why are HA fillers so popular?
This substance is present in great quantities in the joints, neural tissues, and especially the skin. It promotes the skin’s flexibility, hydration, and smoothness. So, it is considered a safe, tissue-compatible, and natural option. It is also a humectant or water-loving molecule. HA largely attracts and locks in moisture in the skin, leaving it silky, smooth, and supple. It can also hold up to 1,000 times its weight in H20, which aids in the “plumping” and volumizing effect of HA-based fillers. These fillers’ versatility is appealing; some are great for correcting depressed areas such as the hollow troughs underneath the eyes, whereas others are particularly well-suited to soften lines and wrinkles or to augment “fallen” cheeks and deflated lips.
What is the Juvéderm® family of fillers?
This collection includes Ultra Plus XC, Ultra XC, Voluma® XC, Volbella® XC, Volux® XC, and Vollure®. Some of these products are best for lines and wrinkles, such as the nasolabial folds and marionette lines around the mouth and nose. Other products are best to recontour and boost the appearance of the cheeks, lips, and jawline. Still others are designed to “fill in” hollow areas, such as at the temples and under the eyes.

And what Restylane® fillers are available?
The Restylane® collection now includes eight different fillers, including Silk, Lyft, Refyne, and Defyne. Depending on the filler selected, it may boost your lips, smooth fine lines, soften severe wrinkles, and even improve the appearance of scars.
What is the difference between Restylane® and Juvéderm®?
Different brands of fillers are manufactured in varied ways. These manufacturing processes impact the properties of each product. For instance, some fillers may be more cohesive depending on how the product is engineered. Others may bind more water. There may also be differences in the durability or longevity of the results and in how they reflect light from the skin. Luckily, Amber and our talented and experienced team at DS Skin & Lips Medical Spa have the know-how to match you with the best filler to meet your needs and reach your goals based on a thorough evaluation and discussion of your preferences.
