Overview
About Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid gel placed where volume has gone or structure is wanted — cheeks, the hollows under the eyes, lips, the lines from nose to mouth, the jaw. It isn’t the same tool as neurotoxin and doesn’t do the same job. Most faces that get a good result are using both, for different things.
We use numbing cream, and most of the products have anesthetic in them, so it’s far more comfortable than people expect. You’ll see a change as you get up from the chair, but that isn’t the final answer — there’s swelling, and it takes about two weeks to settle into what you actually bought.
Bruising is common and can last up to two weeks. Don’t book this the week of an event. Don’t book it the week of a holiday photograph either; we have all learned that one the hard way.
How long it lasts depends on the product and where it went: roughly six months in mobile areas like lips, well over a year in the mid-face. Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved if you dislike the result or if there’s a problem, a meaningful safety feature, and one reason we use them.
We dose conservatively and across more than one visit when a face needs a lot. The goal is that people ask whether you’ve been sleeping better, not where you had it done.
How it works
We look before we treat. What you came in asking for and what your skin actually needs are often different, and sorting that out — under proper light, with your history and medications on the table — is the consultation.
The visit itself
You are in a room set up for that one treatment, with the provider who planned it. Nothing gets wheeled in from elsewhere, and nobody is being treated in the next chair.
What to expect
Before you book: how many sessions, what it costs, and how long you will look less than your best afterwards. After: written aftercare and a follow-up, usually at two weeks, to see the result and adjust.
Treatment candidacy, risks, benefits, recovery, and expected results vary by individual and are determined during consultation.

Good to Know
Dermal Fillers — Questions
Facials and skin treatments including microneedling and dermaplaning, injectables (neurotoxins, dermal fillers, PRF and EZGel), laser treatments from hair reduction to Tetra CO2 CoolPeel resurfacing, hormone replacement pellet therapy, and vitamin and wellness therapies including IV infusions and NAD+. Each plan is built around what your skin and your labs actually show.
Yes, and it is not a formality. We need your health history and you need to know what you are agreeing to. The consultation runs about forty-five minutes and there is no obligation to book treatment at the end of it.
Every treatment is medically supervised. Nancy Walker is a board-certified nurse practitioner, and we use FDA-cleared devices and products. Safe does not mean risk-free, though, and part of the consultation is going through the actual risks for you specifically.
It depends entirely on the treatment. IV therapy, vitamin injections, and most injectables are lunch-hour appointments. Microneedling and laser resurfacing will leave you red and flaking for several days. We tell you which one you are signing up for in concrete terms before you book, not afterward.
October through March. Laser and light treatments work best on skin that is not tanned, and freshly treated skin is more sun-sensitive for a couple of weeks. At 6,920 feet, strong sun is most days of the year. If you ski, tell us and we will schedule between your trips.
A small bioidentical hormone pellet is placed under the skin and releases steadily over three to six months. We start with blood work, not with a pellet. If your labs and symptoms line up we will talk about it; if they point somewhere else we will tell you to see your physician.
Yes, through Cherry. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, which does not affect your score. We make no lending decisions and never see your credit file.
