DERMAL FILLERS



INVITA HEALTH AND WELLNESS IS THE #1 PROVIDER OF DERMAL FILLERS IN THE ST. LOUIS AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES



Dermal fillers can do so much more than just fill lines. 




Dermal Fillers work by supporting the dermal layer by actually filling in areas where volume has been lost or where there are shadows. For instance, fillers are used in the mid-face to build cheeks, in the cheekbone area, under the eyes in the tear trough, in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines (smile lines as they are often referred to), to add fullness to the lips and fill superficial lines above the lip line, to build the chin, and even to restore the jawline or hide jowls.




Dermal fillers take anywhere from fifteen to sixty minutes and are done comfortably by prepping with numbing cream alone or numbing injections alone. Typically, numbing cream is applied to the area being treated with Dermal Fillers to anesthetize the area before the treatment begins. Often that is all that is necessary for a comfortable injection experience.

For lip filler injections, the option of numbing with two tiny lidocaine injections – a “dental block” – is available. These blocks make for painless lip filler injections and are completely optional. In particular areas of the face, we also employ the cannula technique to further enhance comfort and lessen the risk of bruising following filler injections.


Morpheus8 can be used anywhere on the body, including the abdomen or buttocks, though it’s most popular for the face, jawline, jowls, and neck.​



DERMAL FILLER RECOVERY & RESULTS





Swelling is common with treatment of the under-eye area, which usually occurs the next day and can last for 2-4 days. It is also common for swelling to occur when treating other areas.



Significant bruising is possible but rare. It is recommended that patients avoid blood thinners such as aspirin, Motrin/ibuprofen, Aleve/Naprosyn, fish oil, vitamin E, and flaxseed oil for 2 weeks prior to treatment.

To further minimize bruising, we recommend avoiding exercise for 24 hours after treatment. No other aftercare is required.
