Treatment-list

How it Works

As we age, wrinkles and fine lines become more prevalent, lip and cheek volume dissipate and facial features sag. Fortunately, aesthetic medicine provides a solution for the return of a more youthful appearance without excessive downtime or going under the knife.

Fillers, dermal fillers, and facial fillers are all names for injectable products that restore volume. Strategically placed in target areas, these quick and convenient treatments deliver multiple cosmetic advantages. These treatments smooth creases, lines, and folds that can make us look more tired and older than we’d like. 

At Captivate we use two types of dermal fillers, hyaluronic acid (Ha) and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers. 

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring acid in your skin. It gives your skin volume and keeps it hydrated. With age, your body stops making hyaluronic acid. Once injected it acts like at hydration magnet for instant volumizing and hydrating effects. 

Calcium hydroxylapatite is a mineral-like compound found in bones and teeth and is unique because it both instantly restores volume and stimulates collagen production. While it replenishes lost volume, you will absorb the filler over time, your body will metabolize the calcium, leaving behind skin support with natural collagen. 

What to expect

An appointment for a dermal filler at Captivate will take thirty minutes to an hour and require little to no downtime afterward with near instant results. The natural results of dermal filler will last a year or more making the treatment results both immediate and long lasting. 

In the hands of skilled injector, dermal fillers are an extremely safe way to enhance or revitalize your appearance. The most common side effects include swelling, redness, bruising, and pain or itching at the injection site. These symptoms are usually mild and last less than a week. In some cases symptoms can last longer so we recommend getting treatments at least two weeks prior to important events, due to the possibility of bruising.
