The pain level experienced during a filler injection depends on your pain threshold and the sensitivity of your skin in the treatment area. To ensure your comfort, we can apply topical medications before the injections for all our fillers except PRF. Most fillers also include small amounts of lidocaine that will make the filler process as comfortable as possible.

Treated Conditions
How Fillers Work
When we inject a dermal or lip filler under the surface of your skin, the solution adds volume to smoothen out wrinkles and folds. Most formulas include natural ingredients like hyaluronic acid that also add hydration and revitalize your skin’s healing processes.

Your Filler Options
Restylane
One of the most popular filler options nationwide, Restylane fills out sunken areas and treats both moderate and severe wrinkles.
Restylane’s injections have hyaluronic acid (HA) as their base, which occurs naturally in your skin and helps you retain moisture. As a result, not only does Restylane restore lost volume, but it provides a hydrated, healthy glow to your skin.
Juvederm
Like Restylane, Juvederm includes a variety of HA-based filler products. Juvederm’s formula has a smooth, fine texture that allows it to spread easily and fill out fine lines and wrinkles. When you’re looking for dermal and lip fillers in Algona, you can’t go wrong with Juvederm.
Sculptra
Sculptra’s gel-like formula consists of poly-L-lactic acid, which stimulates the production of collagen. Collagen acts as your skin’s scaffolding, keeping it tight and smooth. After a Sculptra injection, your skin absorbs the poly-L-lactic acid and starts producing more collagen.
Over the next few weeks and months, your fine lines, wrinkles, and folds will smooth out as the extra collagen boosts your skin’s internal structure. The best part? The results of your Sculptra treatment can last 2 years or more, making it one of the longest lasting fillers available.
PRF
Looking for a completely natural filler? PRF is the answer! At your appointment, we’ll draw some blood and spin it in a centrifuge to extract platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). We then inject the PRF into the treatment area to both replace lost volume and improve your skin’s health.
This filler uses the natural growth factors already present in your body to rejuvenate your skin, no chemicals or additives needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Depending on the specific filler, you may see results immediately, or it may take some time. For example, Juvederm adds volume instantly, while Sculptra naturally tightens your skin over several months. Before your appointment for dermal or lip fillers in Algona, we’ll let you know an approximate timeline of results.
Wrinkles come in 2 forms: dynamic and static. Dynamic wrinkles form because of repeated muscle actions, like wrinkling your forehead or furrowing your eyebrows. Botox treats these wrinkles by relaxing the muscles that cause them.
Static wrinkles, on the other hand, result from a loss of volume and texture in your skin. Fillers resolve these wrinkles by replacing the lost volume, revitalizing your skin’s internal structure, or both.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your aesthetic options and help you build a custom care plan that meets all your needs.
