Dermal Fillers
in St. George, Utah

Aera offers brand-name hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers from Allergan (Juvederm family) and Galderma (Restylane family). The product Janessa selects depends on the area: Restylane Kysse and Juvederm Volbella for lips, Restylane Lyft and Juvederm Voluma for cheeks and jawline, Restylane Defyne and Juvederm Vollure for nasolabial folds, and Restylane Eyelight or Juvederm Volbella for under-eye / tear trough. Each filler has different physical properties — viscosity, flexibility, lift — and the right one depends on the anatomy.

At Aera, HA filler typically runs $600–$900 per syringe (1mL) depending on the product. Lip filler is on the lower end; thicker structural products like Voluma (cheek/jaw) are at the higher end. Most areas need 1–2 syringes. Janessa quotes the exact total at consultation — no surprise add-ons.

Duration depends on the product and area. Lip filler: 9–12 months. Cheek and jawline filler: 12–24 months (the deeper, more structural products last longest). Under-eye filler: 9–18 months. Areas with constant movement (lips, mouth corners) metabolize filler faster than relatively still areas (cheeks).

Yes — HA fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase (an enzyme injection) within minutes. This is one of the most important reasons we only use HA products: if you don't love a result, or if there's a complication, reversal is straightforward. Non-HA fillers (Sculptra, Radiesse) cannot be dissolved this way.

When performed by a qualified provider with brand-name HA filler, dermal fillers have an excellent safety profile. Common side effects: bruising, swelling, mild tenderness for 3–7 days. Rare but serious: vascular occlusion (filler blocking a blood vessel) — preventable with proper technique and immediately reversible with hyaluronidase. This is why provider experience and training matter far more than the product brand.

Both are brand families of HA filler. Juvederm (Allergan) products are typically smoother and integrate softly into tissue. Restylane (Galderma) products tend to be slightly firmer with more structural lift. Within each family, individual products have distinct properties — Volbella is thinnest, Voluma is thickest. Janessa selects based on what each specific area of your face needs, not loyalty to a single brand.

Not when treated properly. The 'overfilled' look comes from too much filler, the wrong type of filler in the wrong area, or stacking filler over years without metabolism keeping pace. Janessa's approach is conservative and anatomy-driven — most patients come in for fillers and their friends just notice they 'look rested' without being able to identify what changed.
