How It Works

Thoughtfully placed. Beautifully balanced.

Changes in facial volume, structure, and skin support are a natural part of aging. Dermal filler can be used to restore subtle volume, enhance selected contours, and improve facial balance.

At ERA Aesthetics, filler is never one-size-fits-all. Your facial anatomy, proportions, natural movement, treatment history, and goals are carefully assessed before product selection and placement are recommended.

Filler should complement your features, not compete with them.

Your Appointment

‍Personal. Thoughtful. Never rushed.

We'll begin by discussing your concerns, aesthetic goals, previous treatments, and what you hope to achieve.

Your facial anatomy, proportions, symmetry, and natural movement are then carefully assessed. Together, we'll develop a treatment plan designed specifically for you.

Topical numbing may be used when appropriate, and many hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine for additional comfort. Mild swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising can occur afterward.

Not every concern requires filler. If another treatment, or no treatment at all, is more appropriate, that will be part of the conversation.

Appointment Preparation

A little preparation goes a long way.

• Be mindful of bruising. Alcohol and certain medications or supplements may increase bruising. Do not discontinue prescribed medications without speaking with the healthcare professional who prescribed them.
• Keep skincare gentle. Consider pausing retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other irritating products for several days before treatment.
• Arrive with clean skin. No makeup over the treatment area is preferred.
• Plan ahead. Schedule filler at least 2-4 weeks before important events, weddings, travel, or professional photos.

An important note for your safety

Please contact ERA Aesthetics before your appointment if you are currently ill, have a recent or active infection, are taking antibiotics or oral steroids, have had recent dental work or are planning to have dental work, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have experienced a significant change in your health or medications.

Depending on your circumstances, treatment may need to be postponed.

Aftercare

• Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, excessive heat, and similar activities for approximately 24–48 hours, or as directed.‍‍
• Do not rub, massage, or apply significant pressure to treated areas unless specifically instructed to do so.‍‍
• A cool compress may be used gently when appropriate. Sleeping with your head slightly elevated the first night may also help.
• Follow personalized aftercare instructions and contact ERA with any concerns. ‍

Frequently-Asked Questions

Will filler make me look overdone?

That isn't the goal at ERA Aesthetics. Treatment is planned conservatively and customized to your anatomy, with an emphasis on proportion, balance, and subtle enhancement.

How much filler will I need?

There is no standard amount that is right for everyone. The appropriate amount depends on your anatomy, treatment area, desired result, and treatment history.

Which filler is best?

Different fillers have different properties. Product selection is individualized based on the treatment area, anatomy, and desired result.

Does filler hurt?

You may feel pressure, pinching, or brief discomfort. Topical anesthetic may be used when appropriate, and many hyaluronic acid fillers contain lidocaine.

Can hyaluronic acid filler be dissolved?

Many hyaluronic acid fillers can be treated with hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. Your provider can discuss whether this is indicated in your situation.

Can I get filler before an important event?

We recommend scheduling treatment at least two weeks before important events or travel so swelling or bruising has time to resolve and your result can settle.
