Filler


About the Treatment

Fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours.

Made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occuring substance in the body, fillers are a non-surgical option to rejuvenate your appearance, balance facial features, and provide natural-looking results with minimal downtime. Fillers can be placed in targeted areas to address a variety of concerns. Filler can also be used in other areas of the body, such as the tops of the hands, to restore lost volume.

Common Areas Filler is Injected:

  • Cheeks

  • Jawline

  • Lips

When determining if fillers are the right treatment for you, your provider will perform a thorough assessment, discuss your concerns and goals, and review your medical history, medications, and allergies. At Essence, our approach focuses on subtle, natural, and harmonizing enhancements, not dramatic changes to your appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions


  • The amount of filler needed depends on your individual goals, the areas being treated, and the degree of volume loss or wrinkles. For subtle enhancements, 1 to 2 syringes may be sufficient, while more significant volume restoration may require additional syringes. Your provider will determine the amount of filler needed to achieve your desired results.

  • Some individuals may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising, which typically subsides in a few days. It takes about 2 to 4 weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissues, so we recommend scheduling your treatment at least 3 to 4 weeks before a special occasion.

  • The longevity of filler varies depending on the type of filler used and the areas being treated. Most fillers last between 9 and 24 months. Over time, the body naturally metabolizes the filler, so periodic treatments are recommended to maintain your results.
