Dermal Fillers
Fillers such a Juvederm, Restylane, RHA and Sculptra are used to replace lost facial volume as well as enhance natural facial contours to balance the face. Common areas include cheek enhancement, lip definition and plumping, chin and jawline as well as under eye hollows.
Lip Filler
Lip injections use hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the body. When injected, the results are immediate and generally last up to a year.
We realize not everyone's lip goals are the same. Although plump lips are very popular, we also expertly treat those who prefer a subtle, natural looking result. Lip filler is great for replacing lost structure through aging. This can help prevent "smoker's lines", help a down-turned smile, as well as adding a velvety smooth texture to wrinkling lips.
​
We carry several options of these fillers and can provide you with recommendations as to which one can help you achieve your desired results.

What to expect:
The products generally contain lidocaine. However, before your injection, you will receive a topical numbing medication to ease any discomfort.
​
After your treatment, you should expect some minor swelling and bruising for a few days. These can be minimized by avoiding blood thinning agents prior to your treatment. (Seek advice from your provider if you are on prescription blood thinners.) Occasionally, small bumps may be present after the injection. These can be treated at your follow up visit.
cheeks, nasolabial fold, chin, jawline filler
During your consultation at Vitality Aesthetics, we can provide you with guidance in how to contour and best balance the face as well as improving age-related loss of volume.
With our expertise, we can assist you with the best strategy to look most natural through non-surgical treatments. This can be obtained through use of select hyaluronic fillers or collagen stimulating volumizers.
Common treatment goals include cheek contouring, softening the nasolabial folds, treating the marionettes with lifting the mouth area. Additionally, injecting the chin to enhance "V-shaped" face femininity, strengthening a masculine jawline or balancing the profile.
sculptra
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)
​
As we age, we lose collagen, which acts as the skin’s support structure, and helps maintain its shape. In fact, 70% of our skin is composed of collagen, and collagen loss causes the skin to lose its elasticity and moisture. Sculptra Aesthetic helps treat the underlying cause of facial aging — the loss of collagen. In doing so, it subtly and gradually adds volume that lifts the soft tissues and plumps skin from within.
​
Sculptra restores facial volume loss and Provides Support to the skin to improve the look of smile lines (called nasolabial folds), marionette lines, pre-auricular wrinkles (the vertical wrinkles in front of the ears), radial cheek folds (vertical wrinkles below the cheek) and chin wrinkles. Results are gradual that become visible over a period of a few months. It is Long-Lasting— Results generally more than two years.

Anna Age: 43 Actual patient. Individual results may vary. Treated with 6 vials of Sculptra® Aesthetic. 15 and 24 weeks after initial treatment. Results have not been retouched.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Once injected Sculptra Aesthetic begins working with your body deep within the dermis layer of skin to help stimulate your skin’s own natural collagen production over time, helping to reinforce skin’s inner structure and increase facial volume that has been lost due to aging.
HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED?
On average, a series of three treatment sessions over the course of a few months may be needed. The number of injections at each session will vary, depending on the degree of correction needed and the treatment plan determined by you and your specialist.
WHAT IS SCULPTRA AESTHETIC MADE OF? Sculptra Aesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biodegradable substance that has been proven safe and has been used in medical products, including dissolvable sutures, for more than 30 years
