Dermal Fillers in Asheville
At Awaken, we understand how challenging it can be when the skin’s natural support system begins to lose volume. To help restore maturing skin, our dermal filler injections in our Asheville clinic offer a safe and effective solution.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Smooth gel fillers called dermal fillers are crafted from hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the body that maintains skin hydration. They result in smooth, natural, and youthful-looking skin. Whether it's adding volume to cheeks or enhancing lip shape, dermal fillers offer a versatile and reliable option for achieving a smoother and more youthful appearance. Available in various formulations for personalized treatment, these fillers are safe, FDA-approved, minimally invasive, and effective when injected by Janna Amato, RN.

What To Expect For Your Dermal Filler Procedure
Our dermal filler treatments go beyond the act of injection, it's about the entire journey of aesthetic enhancement.
How To Prepare For Your Dermal Filler Treatment
Make sure to prepare appropriately for your dermal filler appointment to maximize effectiveness and minimize potential side effects.
Avoid aspirin, vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, fish oil and other dietary supplements including: ginkgo, evening primrose oil, garlic, feverfew, and ginseng for 1-2 weeks. These have a blood thinning effect and increase the risk of bruising.
Avoid ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and alcohol for 2 days.
Take oral Arnica Montana tablets and bromelain (pineapple enzyme), 5 days prior to injections to minimize the risk of bruising. We have Silagen available which is a capsule containing both arnica and bromelain. Continue taking these supplements for +/-3 days after injections to aid in the healing process.
If possible, come to your appointment with a cleanly washed face without makeup
Stay relaxed. While some anxiety is natural, know that you are in skilled hands and trust the process!
Following these guidelines ensures a smoother process and best results!
During Your Dermal Filler Procedure
After discussing your goals during your in-depth consultation, our injection specialist will cleanse your skin to ensure a sterile working area. Injections are then carefully placed in the targeted areas to restore volume, smooth creases, and rejuvenate your look. Your treatment provider may use ice or numbing cream to minimize discomfort, and the appointment can last between 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the treated areas. You will be provided with thorough post treatment instructions before you leave the office to show off your results!
Dermal Filler Aftercare and Recovery Timeline
After receiving dermal filler treatment, you will notice immediate improvement. Any swelling, redness, or bruising that occurs is temporary and fades quickly. Over the next two weeks, as your skin heals, swelling reduces, and the gel blends with your natural tissue, you will see further enhancement in your results.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Depending on the plan outlined between you and your injection artist, you may be able to meet your aesthetic goals in a single filler session, or it may require multiple sessions to achieve your desired result. The amount of filler and number of visits needed depends on the treated facial areas, age, and skin type of each client.
What Kind Of Results Can I Expect?
Whether it's adding volume to cheeks or enhancing lip shape, dermal fillers replenish lost volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. You can anticipate a subtle result that enhances your features and brings out your natural beauty.
Can I Get Dermal Fillers If I’ve Already Had Other Corrective Procedures?
Restylane, a dermal filler, is a great option for those looking to enhance and maintain their natural beauty. When used as part of an anti-aging regimen, it complements other treatments such as lasers, microneedling, Botox, and peels seamlessly. Ensure treatments are scheduled 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results.
Are Dermal Fillers Like Restylane Right For Me?
Dermal fillers are ideal for individuals going through the natural facial aging process. They can help address volume loss in the deeper tissue layers. Considered valuable assets in the realm of healthy aging aesthetics, dermal fillers work best for candidates who are healthy, have practical expectations, and are open to using other treatments in conjunction to maximize outcomes and longevity.
