Dermal Fillers

ARTAVI MED SPA - HOUSTON HEIGHTS

Transform Your Look With Dermal Fillers

Noticing signs of aging like sagging skin, wrinkles, thinning lips, laugh lines, or dark circles? Dermal filler could be your solution! Unlike Botox, which is more for prevention, fillers are best for correction. After age 30, natural volume loss occurs, causing cheeks to sag and initiating facial aging. 

ENHANCE FACIAL STRUCTURE

Why Choose Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers offer a versatile and effective solution for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance and combat the signs of aging. As people age, the skin naturally loses collagen, leading to volume loss and the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers help to restore this lost volume, providing a plumper, more youthful look. They can smooth out wrinkles, enhance facial contours, and even improve the symmetry of features such as the lips and cheeks.

Whether you're looking to refresh your appearance or achieve specific aesthetic goals, dermal fillers can be tailored to meet your unique needs, offering natural-looking results that can boost your confidence.

Client Testimonials

The office is SPOTLESS and the staff is so kind. They made me feel welcomed with complimentary coffee and great attitude. The nurse took amazing care during my micro-needling and the Botox went by very fast as well. It’s a bit on the pricier end but I think it is worth it for service you will receive and high grade equipment used at the facility.

The location is also unbeatable. I had two appointments back to back with about an hour break and due to all the great shops and restaurants nearby it flew by like nothing. Parking can be tricky tho so if you book an appointment around lunch time I suggest arriving early.

10/10 experience thank you so much Dr.Desai and staff.

DERMAL FILLER PROCEDURE

What to Expect

Dermal filler injections are quick procedures, usually completed in 20-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. To ensure comfort, we provide a full range of anesthesia options and use microcannulas to significantly reduce pain during treatment.

- Post-Treatment Care -

Proper care after your dermal filler treatment is crucial for achieving the best results. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours, and refrain from strenuous activities directly after your appointment. This helps prevent the filler from shifting away from the intended areas.

Slight redness or swelling might occur, but it typically resolves within a few hours. Results appear immediately and can last from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dermal Fillers FAQ

  • Dermal filler is a substance used to replace volume loss, fill in deep lines or wrinkles, and plump the skin for a youthful looking appearance. As we age, we lose volume and dermal filler replaces this volume. It is one of the best and quickest ways to restore a youthful appearance to the face. The most natural dermal filler is called hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a lubricating substance that is produced naturally in the body, with highest concentrations in the skin and joints. It helps retain collagen and increase moisture, elasticity and firmness to the skin.

  • We use hyaluronic acid fillers and since this is a naturally occurring substance in the body, there is no harmful or adverse effects of the filler itself. However, if the filler is not injected properly, there can be harm done. This is why it is important to have this procedure done by a trained physician in case of emergencies. We employ advanced techniques using microcannulas which prove to be much safer than traditional needles. In addition to having a physician on site, Artavi Med Spa keeps a crash cart available at all times in case of emergencies.

  • The hyaluronic acid fillers will typically last between 6 months to one year and many can last up to two years. The length varies depending on how often it is maintained, where the filler is injected and how active the muscles are in that area. The more activity, the quicker the filler will degrade. As long as you keep up with the advised maintenance treatments, your filler can last longer over time. If the filler look is not desirable, it can be dissolved quickly and easily with the injection of a special medication.

  • All of our prices are listed on our website under the prices tab. Pricing depends on the area you are looking to treat. There are different types of fillers for different areas and the amount required for a desired effect will also affect pricing. As dermal filler treatments are customized to each individual, it is impossible to determine exactly how much your price would be without a personal consultation. We offer consultations with any of our nurse injectors or with Dr. Desai during which time a price will be established. You may also visit our pricing page or call our office in Houston for more information.

  • We advise having the filler done at least four weeks in advance of your special event. This allows enough time for any bruising and swelling to go down and provides for the full effect of the filler.

  • This will depend on what areas you are having the treatment performed. In general the treatment can last between 30 minutes to an hour per area. If you are seeing Dr. Desai, she will focus on facial balancing to give the most natural results. These visits can be an hour and a half to two and a half hours.

  • The beauty of dermal fillers is that the result is immediate. You will experience some swelling and bruising, causing the area to look more “plump” than expected. The final result should be seen about 4 weeks post procedure, after the filler has had time to integrate into the surrounding tissues.

  • The level of discomfort during the procedure depends on the area being treated, as some areas may be more sensitive than others. To ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible, we offer a comprehensive comfort menu with various options tailored to your needs. These include topical numbing creams, ice packs, Pronox pain management, and different levels of anesthesia. Additionally, we use microcannulas to make the treatment virtually painless.

    Your comfort is our top priority, and our team is dedicated to making sure you feel relaxed and at ease throughout the entire process.

  • Dermal fillers work by adding volume to specific areas of the face, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin. They can also stimulate the body's natural collagen production, leading to long-lasting improvements in skin texture.

  • Serious side effects can occur if the treatment is performed by an inexperienced injector. These can include infection or even vascular compromise which can occur if the injector is not familiar with the facial anatomy or if post treatment instructions are not carefully followed. This is why it is important to have your injections done by a trained physician or medical provider. Other expected side effects include pain, swelling, and bruising. These are all drastically minimized by our use of microcannulas, an advanced technique.

  • Dermal fillers, particularly those made from hyaluronic acid, can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if the patient is unhappy with the results or experiences complications.

  • Recovery time is minimal, and most patients can resume normal activities immediately. It’s advised to avoid intense physical activity and excessive sun exposure for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
