Dermal Filler in Magnolia, WA
Our face is changing throughout our entire life. Our bone structure changes and the gradual loss of collagen and elastin result in wrinkles, folds, hollows and shadows due to the loss of support and shrinking of the facial fat pads.
Hyaluronic acid-based facial fillers assist in restoring lost volume to give back that structural support and augment the features of our face that are diminishing. Hyaluronic acid is found throughout the connective tissues of the body and plays a vital role in maintaining skin hydration, elasticity, and overall tissue health. Lux Aesthetics carries FDA approved synthetic hyaluronic acid fillers from the:
RHA Collection
Restylane Family
Juvederm Family

Frequently Asked Questions
At Lux Aesthetics, dermal fillers can be used in a variety of areas to enhance and rejuvenate your appearance. Common treatment areas include:
- Facial Balancing: A comprehensive approach that strategically places filler across the face (cheeks, chin, jawline, and temples) to create symmetry and enhance your unique features.
- Lips: Add volume, definition, or hydration for a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic look.
- Chin and Jawline: Contour and define these areas for a more sculpted profile.
- Cheeks: Restore volume and lift for a youthful appearance.
- Under Eyes: Minimize hollows or dark circles.
- Nasolabial Folds (Smile/Laugh Lines): Smooth the lines that form between the nose and mouth.
- Marionette Lines: Reduce lines below the corners of the mouth.
- Temples: Soften the depression to the outer brow where volume loss is common with age.
- Hands: Rejuvenate the appearance of aging hands.
- Neckline/Tech-Neck: Smooth horizontal lines or wrinkles on the neck.
- Earlobes: Restore volume and smooth stretched or sagging earlobes.
Results are noticeable immediately after treatment, though swelling is common for the first 3-7 days. As the filler settles, your final, natural-looking results will appear within 2-3 weeks. To ensure you look your best for any special events, we recommend scheduling your treatment at least two weeks in advance.
The longevity of filler varies based on the treatment area, product used, and your body’s metabolism. Generally, hyaluronic acid filler can last between 9 months and 2 years.
Our team will create a personalized plan to help you maintain your results over time.
