Facial volume loss is one of the earliest signs of aging, and it often begins before fine lines do. As the face loses fat, bone density, and collagen, cheeks flatten, tear troughs deepen, and the jawline softens. Dermal fillers restore that lost structure.

At Revival Dermatology, fillers are injected by board-certified dermatologists in a boutique-style practice where every plan is built around the individual face in front of us.
The goal is never a treated look — it's a rested, balanced one.
Physician-led and family owned.
Dermal fillers are injectable gels placed beneath the skin to replace lost volume, soften folds, and refine contour. Results are visible immediately and develop further as initial swelling settles.
Fillers address the volume loss that comes with age, and also volume deficiencies a patient may have had their entire life. Treatment is non-surgical, performed in office, with most patients returning to normal activity the same day.
These two terms describe the same treatment.
Patients researching "soft tissue augmentation" and patients researching "dermal fillers" are looking for the same thing. We use both terms interchangeably.
Different areas call for different products. A thin, flexible gel appropriate for lips is the wrong choice for rebuilding jawline structure. Revival Dermatology uses products from the Restylane, Juvéderm, and RHA families, as well as Radiesse.
Product selection happens during consultation, based on treatment area, depth of placement, and your desired result.
Restylane
Juvéderm
RHA

Restoring cheek support lifts the entire lower face and softens folds without treating them directly.
Hollowing here creates shadowing that reads as chronic fatigue. One of the most technically demanding areas on the face.
Approached conservatively, with attention to shape, border definition, and proportion rather than volume alone.
Sharpens definition, improves chin projection, and restores the angle between jaw and neck.
Often respond best to direct treatment combined with mid-face support.
Also treatable for skin tightening.

Restored proportion and volume
This is the most common point of patient confusion, and the distinction matters.
| Treatment | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Dermal filler | Replaces lost volume immediately by adding structure beneath the skin |
| Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Jeuveau | Relaxes the muscle contraction that creates expression wrinkles. Not a filler |
| Sculptra | Stimulates your body to produce its own collagen for gradual revolumizing |
| Skinvive | A skin booster improving hydration and texture rather than adding volume |
No. Botox relaxes muscle; filler adds volume. Many patients benefit from both, used in different areas for different purposes.
Sculptra is a collagen stimulator, not a traditional filler — a strong option for patients wanting overall volume restoration without filler. Dr. Lisa Guidry Pruett has been injecting Sculptra for nearly 15 years.
Your dermatologist assesses facial structure, discusses your goals, and recommends a plan. We're transparent about what filler can and cannot accomplish.
Most appointments take 30 to 60 minutes. Topical numbing is used, and many filler products contain lidocaine.
Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising is common and typically resolves within several days. Most patients return to normal activity the same day.
Visible immediately, refining as swelling settles over one to two weeks. Longevity varies by product, area, and individual metabolism — your dermatologist will review what to expect for your plan.
Review our Pre and Post Care instructions before your appointment.
Filler may be a good fit if you're noticing flattening cheeks, hollowing under the eyes, deepening folds, a softening jawline, or thinning lips. Most patients seeking volume restoration are 35 and older, though adults of any age may be candidates for correcting longstanding volume deficiencies.
Filler may not be appropriate if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have an active skin infection at the treatment site, or have certain allergies or medical conditions. Your dermatologist will review your full medical history during consultation.

A boutique environment built around comfort and transparency.
Restylane, Juvéderm, RHA, and Radiesse, matched to the area treated.
Filler pairs frequently with neuromodulators, Sculptra, lasers, and energy-based skin tightening.
Longevity depends on the product, the area treated, and individual metabolism. Some areas hold results longer than others. Your dermatologist will review expected timing and maintenance at consultation.
Cost depends on the product selected and number of syringes needed. Pricing is reviewed transparently before treatment begins. See our current promotions.
Filler is a well-established treatment with a strong safety record when performed by a qualified medical provider. Risk is meaningfully reduced when injections are performed by a board-certified dermatologist who understands facial anatomy.
Lip filler is dermal filler placed in the lips — one application of the broader category, using products selected specifically for lip tissue.
Filler is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Discuss timing with your dermatologist.
There's no single best product. The tear trough requires a specific gel consistency and placement technique, chosen during consultation.
