Dermal Fillers
Los Angeles

Juvéderm
We offer all Juvéderm products at South Coast MedSpa. Juvéderm fillers use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that helps retain moisture and keep the skin plump and hydrated. Juvéderm’s unique formulation provides long-lasting results while remaining safe and biocompatible with the body. Juvéderm is a versatile solution that addresses a broad spectrum of cosmetic concerns. It effectively reduces the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles while enhancing facial features such as the lips, cheeks, and the delicate under-eye area. With Juvéderm, you can achieve a more youthful and revitalized appearance, tailored to your specific needs and desired results.

Restylane
We offer the entire family of Restylane fillers, including Restylane, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Silk, and Restylane Refyne and Defyne. Restylane fillers work similarly to Juvéderm, using hyaluronic acid to add volume to the treated area. However, Restylane’s patented technology includes a unique cross-linking process that helps the filler last longer. The hyaluronic acid in Restylane binds with water molecules, creating a natural-looking lift that smooths out wrinkles, enhances facial features, and restores a youthful appearance.

Bellafill
Bellafill is a unique dermal filler in Los Angeles that combines collagen and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres to achieve long-lasting results. When injected, the collagen in Bellafill provides immediate volume and lift, while the PMMA microspheres act as a scaffolding for the body’s natural collagen production. Over time, the body absorbs the PMMA and replaces it with its collagen, which continues to provide volume and lift. Bellafill’s unique formulation allows for safe, long-lasting results of up to five years or more.

Preparation
Before your dermal filler appointment, it’s essential to avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and supplements that can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding. Be sure to inform your injector of any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are taking. Avoid excessive sun exposure, and come to your appointment with clean, makeup-free skin.

Treatment
During your dermal filler in Los Angeles session, your injector will clean the treatment area. They will then use a fine needle or cannula to inject the chosen filler(s) into the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated, and you can return to your daily activities immediately following the session.

Side Effects
Common side effects of dermal fillers include swelling, bruising, redness, tenderness, and itching at the injection site. These side effects are mild and resolve within a few days. More severe side effects, such as infection and allergic reactions, can occur in rare cases. Your injector will discuss potential side effects and how to manage them during your consultation.

Recovery
Most people can resume their daily activities immediately after their session. However, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site, which can take a few days to resolve. Avoid strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol for at least 24 hours after treatment. Your injector will provide specific aftercare instructions to promote a smooth recovery.

Results
You should see the results of your dermal filler in Los Angeles treatment immediately after the session. The duration of the results depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. HA fillers generally last 6-18 months, and Bellafill lasts up to 5 years.

Frequency
The frequency of follow-up treatments depends on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors. Most fillers require touch-up treatments every 6-12 months to maintain the results. Your injector will discuss a personalized follow-up schedule during your consultation.
