Filler is one of the hottest topics in beauty right now; but with so many choices how do you find the perfect one for you? From navigating your options to finding the right injector, the process can be overwhelming. We’ve put together a simple guide to finding the perfect filler and selecting the right injector.
Selecting an Injector
Selecting the right injector for filler is crucial to ensure safety and achieve your desired result. Look for a licensed and experienced medical professional, such as a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic procedures. They should have extensive training in administering fillers.
Also, be sure to review their before-and-after photos and patient testimonials to gauge their expertise and the satisfaction levels of their previous clients. It’s also important to have a detailed consultation where the injector listens to your goals, explains the procedure, discusses potential risks, and creates a customized treatment plan. This will help ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with your decision.

Lip Filler
Lip filler is touted for its ability to enhance lip volume for fuller, more youthful-looking lips. Dr. Holly Gunn loves the way lip filler can balance facial proportions or improve the symmetry of the face. And of course, “no duck lips here,” says Dr. Gunn!
Both Restylane and Juvederm are FDA-approved dermal fillers commonly utilized for the enhancement of lip volume, shape, and contour. These hyaluronic acid lip fillers are a smooth, pliable gel texture, which yields a natural appearance with minimal swelling. These fillers maintain shape and integrity for a period of up to one year.
Biostimulating Filler
Biostimulating fillers are like the slow and steady friend in your beauty toolkit. When added to areas that need a little extra volume, these fillers work their magic by gradually boosting collagen and elastic fiber production over a few months. It’s the perfect way to enhance your look with a subtle, natural touch. Dr. Gunn’s signature treatment with this type of filler is the Liquid Face Lift, which will leave you looking and feeling lifted and refreshed! She combines a custom solution of Radiesse, PRP (or Sculptra), and Skinvive to give you instant lifting, increased volume, and hydration with gradual skin tightening. These plump your skin and kickstart collagen production, giving you a refreshed glow that lasts for about two years.
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid fillers come to the rescue by rebuilding lost structure, restoring balance, and softening fine lines and wrinkles. The result? A fresher, more youthful appearance. By precisely placing these fillers, we can restore volume, contour cheekbones, plump thinning lips, and reduce under-eye hollows and dark circles, resulting in a rejuvenated look.
Bellafill
Bellafill is an FDA-approved dermal filler for permanent implantation into the skin for the correction of nasolabial folds, or smile lines. Bellafill is a non-resorbable dermal filler, unlike many other dermal fillers that are absorbed and require reinjection. Bellafill is also approved for the correction of moderate to severe facial acne scars on the cheeks in patients over the age of 21 years.
