Dermal Fillers & Biostimulators

Cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers and biostimulators are among the most popular treatments offered at our Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, practice near Spokane. Even though fillers and biostimulators are both used to address early signs of aging and improve facial contours, they work in different ways.

What are Restylane® dermal fillers?

The Restylane product line includes various hyaluronic acid-based fillers designed to address specific concerns. They include Restylane® Silk and Restylane® Lyft.

Restylane Silk

Restylane Silk the first FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler specifically formulated for lip augmentation and the correction of fine vertical lines around the mouth. Its particles are much smaller than those of other Restylane fillers, delivering subtle, natural-looking results without bulkiness.

Restylane Lyft

Restylane Lyft is used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, and restore volume and fullness to the skin. Intended for deeper injection, Restylane Lyft adds volume for structural support and lift. Applied by injection with an ultra-fine needle, Restylane Lyft is a natural way to smooth away deep facial lines.

What are Sculptra® biostimulatory injections?

Sculptra is a unique injectable that works differently from fillers. Using an ingredient called poly-L-lactic acid, Sculptra stimulates collagen production for several months after your treatment. The results can last up to 2 years and look and feel extremely natural. After a series of injections – typically 3, spaced several weeks apart – Sculptra patients notice an improvement in the quality and condition of their skin. Sculptra may also be used to fill in hollow or depressed temples or improve the firmness of skin along the jawline.

How Much Do Fillers Cost in Spokane & Coeur d’Alene?

Filler treatments start at $600 per syringe at our Coeur d’Alene practice. Your actual cost will depend on the filler used, the number of syringes needed, and areas treated. You will be given a personalized quote as part of your consultation.

Can Dermal Fillers Be Combined With Dysport?

In addition to dermal fillers, we offer the popular injectable Dysport® for effective reduction of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by the contractions of facial muscles. These treatments can be combined in a liquid facelift to provide comprehensive, full face rejuvenation.

Combining Dermal Fillers With Other Treatments

Combining treatments can be beneficial for patients who wish to address wrinkles and volume loss, as well as other concerns, including skin laxity, sun damage, poor skin tone and texture, and more. In such cases, we’ll tailor your treatment to enhance your overall complexion and results.

Treatment combination to address volume loss and wrinkles

  • Dysport: Combining fillers with Dysport smooths dynamic wrinkles while restoring lost volume. Dysport relaxes muscles responsible for expression lines (crow’s feet or forehead lines), while fillers add plumpness to the cheeks, lips, and under eye area, giving you a more youthful appearance.

Treatment combinations to address skin texture and tone

  • Laser skin rejuvenation: If you want to address both volume loss and skin imperfections like pigmentation or rough texture, combining fillers with laser skin rejuvenation is a great option. While fillers restore youthful volume, laser treatments resurface the skin, improving texture, sun damage, and fine lines for a smoother, more radiant complexion.
  • Microneedling: Pairing microneedling with dermal fillers boosts collagen production and improves overall skin texture. Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, triggering a healing response that complements the volumizing effects of fillers by making the skin firmer and smoother.

Treatment combinations to address contour and definition

  • Profound® skin tightening: For enhanced definition, especially around the lower face and neck, Profound skin tightening combined with dermal fillers targets both wrinkles and sagging skin. The fillers add plumpness, while Profound uses radiofrequency to tighten and firm the skin, creating a youthful, contoured appearance.

This highly customizable approach allows us to target multiple concerns and deliver complementary results. Dr. Johnson will help you determine whether combining Dysport with laser and other services can elevate your overall look. Review our blog post for more information.

Take a look below to see the facial areas that benefit most from dermal fillers and read about some of Advanced Aesthetics’ most popular dermal fillers.

Facial Contouring With Fillers

Even though fillers are often thought of as anti-aging treatments, many younger patients get fillers to create attractive contours that are ready for social media or video conference calls. In addition, fillers can correct asymmetrical features. Some of the most popular treatment areas for facial contouring include:

Jawline: Fillers can create a more well-defined jawline, which is often associated with a more attractive face for both men and women.

  • Benefits: Enhances the jawline’s existing structure; increases definition between the jaw and neck
  • Results: Immediate improvement with HA-based fillers; Sculptra® results are more gradual
  • Longevity: Effects usually last for 6 months to up to 2 to 3 years, depending on the chosen filler

Cheeks: High cheekbones are a desirable trait often seen in high-fashion models. Well-defined cheeks enhance overall facial symmetry while giving a more youthful appearance.

  • Benefits: Minimize wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance contours
  • Results: Immediate improvement with HA-based fillers; Sculptra results are more gradual
  • Longevity: Effects usually last for 6 months to up to 2 to 3 years, depending on the chosen filler

Lips: Lip augmentation with fillers is one of the most popular treatments we perform for patients who want fuller, plumper lips.

  • Benefits: Fuller, softer, more defined lips; balanced lip proportions
  • Results: Immediate improvement with peak results within about 2 weeks
  • Longevity: Effects usually last about 6 to 12 months

Tear troughs: This treatment smooths the under eye area, helping you look refreshed and rejuvenated.

  • Benefits: Reduces dark circles or bags
  • Results: Immediate improvement, with optimal results appearing in a few days
  • Longevity: Effects typically last 9 to 12 months

Lip Filler FAQs

Which fillers are best for lip injections?

The following fillers are specifically formulated for lip augmentation and enhancement:

  • Restylane Silk
  • Restylane Kysse

During your consultation, your injector will help you choose the filler that is best suited to your unique needs and the enhancement you’d like to attain.

How long do lip fillers last?

The results of lip injections can last up to 1 year. This blog post provides additional details about how long you can enjoy fuller lips with various lip fillers.

Are lip fillers safe?

All of the fillers we use are FDA-approved and proven safe. We carefully screen each patient before treatment for the highest level of safety.

Are there any side effects?

Side effects from lip filler injections are usually temporary and include swelling, tenderness, bruising, itching, and redness.

How long before a patient is fully recovered from the treatment?

Swelling and bruising are normal after lip injections. The lips are very sensitive, so don’t have the treatment right before a special event. Swelling significantly dissipates with the first few days and is gone in about 2 weeks for the majority of patients. Applying cold packs as directed and keeping the head elevated at all times for the first day or two can minimize these side effects.
