lip, cheek, chin,& undereye injections in houston
If you are starting to notice sagging in the face, looking tired or fatigued, wrinkles, thinning lips, laugh lines, marionette lines, dark circles and more, you will most likely benefit from dermal filler injections. Unlike Botox which is more for prevention, fillers are best used for correction. After the age of 30, there is a noticeable natural volume loss that occurs causing the cheeks to begin sagging and spurring the onset of facial aging.
At Artavi, our physician Dr. Desai has thoughtfully and carefully curated package treatment options to address the main concerns her patients have been coming in to see her for over the past several years. As our patients are typically working professionals who want to look their best, they come to see Dr. Desai for her recommendations. These patients tend to leave extremely satisfied and come back with their friends and family for the same treatment. With the realization that our patients have had such a high satisfaction rate and have remained steadfastly loyal to these signature treatments, these treatment packages were created.
The Total Eye Lift package is a comprehensive filler treatment addressing the upper face to specifically target dark circles or the look of fatigue around the eyes. Areas treated can include temples, cheeks, and undereyes and results can last up to 2 years.
The Pick Me Up package is the answer for those that are constantly pulling up on their cheeks to give a mini lift to their face. This package is aimed to specifically target sagging and folds around the mid face and nasolabial folds. Areas treated can include temples, cheeks, and laugh lines or nasolabial folds and results can last up to 2 years.
We offer only the best with the Juvederm and Restaylane family of dermal fillers. The type of filler you will need will depend on the area being treated, age and condition of the skin and your medical history. Dr. Desai will review these with you during your consultation and together determine the best type of filler for you.
A little bit of filler can go a long way in adding volume and smoothness to the face and bringing back the natural youthful look you once had. See our before and after lip and under eye filler photos below. Our most popular are cheek, lip, chin/jaw and under eye filler injections. Lip filler injections are best used to replace lost volume, smooth out lines in the lips, define the shape of the lip, or to naturally enhance the pout of the lip. Cheek filler injections can be used to collectively “lift” the face and soften lines and shadowing seen on the cheek or mouth folds. Under eye filler injections are best used to minimize the appearance of dark circles or hollowing and jawline injections are used to sharpen and define the jawline and minimize any appearance of a double chin.

+ What is a dermal filler?
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.
+ Why does Artavi Med Spa treat with filler packages instead of just one syringe
By offering dermal filler packages, Artavi Med Spa can provide a range of treatment options that cater to different needs and preferences. These packages often include multiple sessions or multiple areas of treatment, allowing clients to achieve optimal results over time.
Furthermore, dermal filler packages can provide a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. By combining different types of fillers or targeting multiple areas of concern, clients can achieve a more balanced and harmonious aesthetic outcome.
It's important to note that the specific dermal filler packages offered by Artavi Med Spa may vary, and it's always advisable to consult with a qualified professional to determine the most suitable treatment plan for your individual needs and goals.
+ Is dermal filler safe?
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.
+ How long does the dermal filler last once injected?
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 where the filler is injected and how active the muscles are in that area. The more activity, the quicker the filler will degrade. If the filler look is not desirable, it can be dissolved quickly and easily with the injection of a special medication.
+ How much do you charge for dermal fillers?
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 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.
+ I have a special event coming up. When should I receive dermal filler in time for my event?
We recommend having the filler done at least two to three 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.
+ How long does a dermal filler treatment take?
This will depend on what areas you are having the treatment performed. In general the treatment can last between 30 minutes to an hour depending on the area.
+ When will I see results?
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 14 days post procedure, after the swelling and bruising have resolved.
+ Does the treatment hurt?
This depends on the area injected. Some areas tend to be more painful than others. We provide anesthesia to help make the procedure as comfortable as possible. We also use microcannulas which makes the treatment virtually painless.
+ Are there any side effects?
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. Other expected side effects include pain, swelling, and bruising. These are all drastically minimized by our use of microcannulas, an advanced technique.
