Restore Facial Fullness, Smooth Wrinkles, and Enhance Your Features

As you age, changes in facial volume, collagen, and skin elasticity can leave your cheeks looking flatter, deepen facial folds, and reduce lip fullness. Dermal fillers help restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve facial contours without surgery.

Our treatments include Restylane®, RHA® Collection, and Radiesse® dermal fillers. Each has different properties, allowing us to recommend a treatment based on your facial structure and the changes you’d like to address.

Restore Lost Facial Volume with Injectable Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that add volume beneath the skin to smooth wrinkles, enhance facial features, and restore fullness. Some provide immediate volume, while others also stimulate collagen production to support longer-term improvements.

Our three filler options address different concerns, from lip enhancement and smile lines to cheek volume and jawline definition.

Our Dermal Filler Treatments in San Antonio

Restylane®

Restore facial volume, enhance lips, and smooth wrinkles

Restylane® is a family of hyaluronic acid fillers designed to replace lost volume and improve facial contours. Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in your skin and helps retain moisture, making it useful for adding fullness to areas affected by aging.

Different Restylane® formulations offer varying levels of firmness and flexibility, allowing your provider to select a product suited to the treatment area.

Treatment Areas

Depending on the Restylane® formulation, treatment areas may include:

  • Lips: Add fullness, improve definition, and soften lines around the mouth.
  • Cheeks: Restore volume and improve facial contours.
  • Smile lines: Soften folds extending from the nose to the corners of the mouth.
  • Chin: Improve projection and facial balance.
  • Under-eyes: Address hollow areas that contribute to a tired appearance.

Treatment Time

Restylane® injections typically take 15–30 minutes, depending on the number of areas treated. Additional time may be needed for consultation and preparation.

Benefits

Restylane® provides immediate volume, with final results becoming clearer as swelling subsides. Its range of formulations allows treatment to be adjusted for delicate areas such as the lips or areas requiring more structural support, such as the cheeks and chin.

Results are temporary, and the duration depends on the specific product and treatment area.

RHA® Collection

Smooth facial wrinkles while maintaining natural expressions

The RHA® Collection consists of resilient hyaluronic acid fillers designed to adapt to facial movement. These fillers help soften wrinkles and folds that become noticeable when you smile, laugh, or speak.

Different RHA® formulations provide varying degrees of flexibility and support, allowing treatment to be tailored to specific facial concerns.

Treatment Areas

Depending on the formulation, RHA® fillers may be used for:

  • Smile lines: Reduce the appearance of folds between the nose and mouth.
  • Facial wrinkles and folds: Smooth moderate to severe lines in approved treatment areas.
  • Lips: Add fullness and definition with formulations approved for lip augmentation.

Treatment Time

RHA® injections generally take 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and amount of filler required.

Benefits

RHA® fillers are designed to accommodate normal facial movement while correcting wrinkles and folds. This makes them an option for patients who want to soften expression-related lines without an overly stiff appearance.

Results are visible immediately, although swelling may temporarily affect the final appearance. Certain RHA® formulations have demonstrated results lasting up to 15 months.

Radiesse®

Restore facial definition and stimulate collagen production

Radiesse® is a calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) filler that provides immediate structural support while stimulating your body’s natural collagen production.

Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Radiesse® contains calcium-based microspheres suspended in a gel. The gel provides initial volume, while collagen stimulation helps support the treated area as the product gradually breaks down.

Treatment Areas

Depending on the Radiesse® formulation, approved treatment areas include:

  • Facial wrinkles and folds: Soften moderate to severe facial folds, including smile lines.
  • Jawline: Improve contour and definition in eligible adults.
  • Hands: Restore volume to reduce the appearance of prominent tendons and veins.

Treatment Time

Radiesse® injections generally take 15–30 minutes, depending on the treatment area and amount of product required.

Benefits

Radiesse® provides immediate volume and structural support while encouraging collagen production. It may be suitable for patients who want to improve facial contours or address deeper folds.

Results may last approximately 12–18 months, although duration varies by treatment area and individual response.

Your Dermal Filler Appointment and Recovery

Your provider will review your medical history, previous injectable treatments, and aesthetic goals before assessing your facial anatomy. They’ll recommend a filler and approach suited to the volume, lines, and contours you want to address.

During treatment, the skin is cleansed, and filler is injected using a fine needle or cannula. Some formulations contain lidocaine to help reduce discomfort.

Most patients can return to regular activities shortly afterward. Temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness may occur around the injection sites.

How Long Does Swelling Last After Dermal Fillers?

Mild swelling and bruising usually improve within several days, although some treatment areas, particularly the lips, may take longer to settle.

Your provider will explain what to expect and provide aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.

Choosing the Right Dermal Filler for Your Face

Restylane®, RHA® Collection, and Radiesse® address different concerns. The best choice depends on whether you want to restore lost volume, soften facial folds, enhance your lips, or improve facial contours.

Your provider will assess your facial anatomy, skin condition, and treatment history before recommending a filler. Many patients benefit from different formulations for different areas.

Can Dermal Fillers Be Dissolved?

Hyaluronic acid fillers, including Restylane® and RHA® Collection products, can sometimes be dissolved using hyaluronidase, an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.

Radiesse® cannot be dissolved using hyaluronidase. Your provider will explain the differences in reversibility before treatment.

Are Dermal Fillers Safe?

Most patients can return to regular activities shortly afterward, although temporary swelling, bruising, redness, or tenderness may occur around the injection sites.

Before treatment, your provider reviews your medical history and explains what to expect.
