Dermal Fillers in Santa Fe, NM

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are considered very safe when administered by qualified providers. You naturally produce hyaluronic acid, which is part of the matrix that keeps your skin and collagen pads at the volume you have in your skin up until your mid-thirties. The dermal fillers we offer are bioidentical to the hyaluronic acid you naturally produce. Therefore, there is never a need to skin test. We only use FDA-approved dermal fillers.

All of our cosmetic injectors are licensed nurses with certifications to provide you with the level of advanced cosmetic injection services. We have ongoing training for our nurses as techniques advance. Therefore, we deliver the best results.

A typical guide as to the amount of volume varies greatly, as someone more mature with more volume loss will require more volume injected to achieve the desired results. The following is only an approximate guide on the amount of volume per area; Temples - usually 1 syringe per side, Cheeks - usually 1 syringe per side, Nasal Folds - usually 1/2 syringe per side, Marionettes - usually 1/2 to 1 syringe per side, Chin - usually 1 syringe, Jawline - usually 2-3 syringes total, Lips - usually 1/2 to 1 syringe, and Hands - 1 syringe per hand.

For the best results, the most important component in your dermal filler treatment is getting the right volume. All syringes come in a 1 ml size. The image below shows a tablespoon so you can understand what volume you receive from a single syringe.

The most common question we get asked about cosmetic injections is, "Will I bruise"? It is a priority to do everything possible during a treatment to avoid bruising any patient. Some things you can do to help limit the risk of bruising are to avoid any non-prescribed supplements that can thin your blood, such as D3, turmeric, green tea, aspirin, alcohol, and garlic, to name a few. Stopping such supplements 72 hours prior to receiving cosmetic injections is most effective.

Botox relaxes dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement (like frown lines), while dermal fillers restore volume and smooth static lines or folds. These injectables are often used as part of a combination treatment plan to address specific areas and concerns.

Not at Ageless Aesthetics. We use a conservative, strategic approach to enhance your features, not change them.

Lip fillers generally last 6–12 months, depending on the product used and how your body metabolizes it.

The product will gradually metabolize, and your features will return to their natural baseline. You won’t look “worse”—you’ll simply go back to where you started.
