Facial Fillers in Denver, CO

Juvéderm®

Juvéderm® is a “next generation” smooth gel, non-animal dermal filler offering a natural look/feel and long-lasting results – six months or longer. Juvéderm® dermal filler is so long-lasting because it’s the dermal filler currently available with the highest concentration of hyaluronic acid. In addition, a special formulation process creates a smooth gel that flows easily into the skin, reliably delivering a natural, smooth appearance. It comes in different formulations: Ultra XC, Ultra Plus XC, Voluma XC, Vollure and Volbella. We can help you decide which one(s) are right for you. People love them.

Restylane

Restylane is another brand of non-animal hyaluronic acid, and, like the others we use, is biocompatible with our human hyaluronic acid. This family of fillers flows easily into the skin to create a smooth, natural appearance. Restylane fillers fight against wrinkles by adding volume to the tissue. Hyaluronic acid exists naturally in humans and all animals, which makes allergic reactions rare. Restylane is also useful around the eyes to reduce signs of aging, especially in the tear trough area, where dark circles first appear.

The FDA has approved Restylane for plumping out wrinkles around the nose and mouth areas and also for lip enhancement.

Lip Injections Before and After

What Can I Expect During Facial Filler Treatment?

• Avoid using aspirin or Vitamin E, as they can increase bruising

• We will offer you a topical local anesthetic

• Very small amounts of the designated filler are injected into several locations with a very fine needle

Treatment can take anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes.

How Are Dermal Fillers Different Than Botox?

Dermal fillers such as Juvéderm® fill wrinkles from beneath. Botox® is classified as a neuromodulator. When injected into a muscle, these injectables temporarily paralyze the muscle, keeping it from contracting. Certain wrinkles, particularly in the upper third of the face (think crow’s feet, forehead lines, and the 11s), are caused by muscles contracting beneath the skin when we make expressions such as frowning. Botox® stops these muscles from contracting, so the wrinkles don’t form. Botox® only works on these types of wrinkles; they are called dynamic wrinkles. Juvéderm® and other fillers don’t work on dynamic wrinkles; their domain is the static wrinkle, wrinkles that show themselves at all times.

Can I Have Botox and Facial Fillers on the Same Day?

Yes, many patients have both Botox and filler at the same appointment. It is no problem! Patients may want to ask for a topical anesthetic when they check in to make treatment as comfortable as possible.

Facial Filler Results

You’ll be able to see the results almost right away.

• There may be a small amount of swelling or redness that will disappear within 1 to 3 days. Bruising infrequently occurs and resolves within a week

• You will see a fresh plumpness in the area, giving you a more youthful look

Results last anywhere from 6 months to a year. Voluma XC is a special case that can last up to 2-3 years.

Are There Risks With Facial Fillers?

Facial fillers are generally well tolerated, but side effects are possible. Temporary swelling, redness, tenderness, bruising, or mild asymmetry can occur after treatment and usually improves as the filler settles.

More serious complications are uncommon, but they can occur with any injectable treatment. Choosing a team with strong knowledge of facial anatomy is important, especially when treating delicate areas such as the lips, under-eyes, cheeks, and the folds around the mouth. Our team will review the potential risks and aftercare instructions before your treatment.

Am I a Good Candidate for Facial Fillers?

You may be a good candidate for facial fillers if you want to restore lost facial volume, soften lines or creases, enhance the lips, or improve facial contours without surgery. Ideal candidates are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and want improvement in areas such as the lips, cheeks, tear troughs, or folds around the mouth.

Fillers may not be the best choice for every concern. During your consultation, our team can determine whether dermal fillers, Botox®, fat transfer, skin resurfacing, or another treatment is a better fit for your goals.

Why Choose Fante Eye & Face Center for Facial Fillers?

Facial filler treatment is both technical and artistic. The right approach depends on facial anatomy, skin quality, volume loss, expression, and the specific areas being treated. At Fante Eye & Face Center, our team evaluates each patient’s features carefully before recommending a filler type, amount, and placement strategy.

Because the practice specializes in cosmetic and functional facial care, patients benefit from a detailed understanding of the eyelids, cheeks, lips, and surrounding facial structures. This is especially important for delicate areas such as the under-eyes, lips, and midface, where precision helps create smoother, more natural-looking results.

Our team can also help you understand when fillers may be appropriate and when another option, such as Botox®, fat transfer, skin resurfacing, or surgery, may better match your goals.
