Providing minimally invasive out patient procedures that can produce results similar to surgery makes dermal fillers a go-to. Rejuvenating, refreshing and volumizing, dermal fillers can take years off ones face and give them an added glow. At AIYANA, we love dermal fillers and have had such great success at helping our clients reach their anti-aging goals.
When talking about dosing fillers, 1 syringe, 2 syringes, etc, it really is in mLs. And, 5 mls equals 1 tsp. See the diagram below. It is such a small amount of filler, but because of its chemical makeup, the hyaluronic fillers are hydrophilic, meaning they attract water. Some do a better job than others, and because of this they plump up more when inserted in the skin.
There are a number of them out on the market today, but we will go through the ones we use at AIYANA. Juvéderm is a very popular filler. It is manufactured by Allergan, the same company that manufactures Botox. There are different types of Juvéderm, such as Ultra, Ultra Plus, Voluma, Volbella and Vollure XC. These types of fillers are composed of Hyaluronic gel, a naturally occurring substance in the skin that contributes to volume hydration. It also stimulated the production of connective tissue or collagen that plumps the skin.
Restylane is another type of hyaluronic acid filler, similar to Juvéderm, manufactured by Gallderma. Restylane Kysse, Restylane-L, Restylane Lyft and Defyne are all used at AIYANA.
There are so many uses for filler and it seems like we are advancing in this treatment so rapidly that filler is being placed all over the face. At AIYANA, the areas around the mouth, the lips, jawline, chin, under eye (tear-trough) and the midface/cheeks and under eyes are the most requested areas. A lot of aging is present in the midface because it is the structure that holds a youthful appearance. When we lose volume in the midface, our lines get deep around our mouth, jowling starts to occur and our eyes look more sunken and dark. Creepiness occurs along the jawline and more fine lines/wrinkles are present in the midface area. By adding filler, this will inhance all of these areas and give an all over refreshed look.
When our clients think about lip filler, they are concerned that they will have an outcome that looks overfilled and too plump. At AIYANA, we always try to reassure our clients that it takes a lot of filler, and multiple appointments to become overdone. We are always careful to enhance natural contours, not change appearance. This goes for all filler placement. A refreshed, youthful, glowing end result is always our goal.
Here are some before and afters of our filler clients. What you will notice is that filler placed correctly can make subtle, yet, youthful changes to someones face. It’s refreshing and natural.

When Will I See Results?
This also varies with the filler. Most fillers fill the skin, so they produce immediate — or close to immediate — results. A filler also can stimulate your body to produce collagen, but this takes time.
