Dermal fillers in St. Louis
Restore volume, smooth lines and rebalance your features without surgery. At our physician-led med spa in Creve Coeur, led by Dr. Ameha Hagos, every filler plan starts with a facial assessment.
What is a dermal filler?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore facial volume, smooth wrinkles and enhance facial contours without surgery. Most are made from hyaluronic acid, a substance found naturally in the skin that holds moisture and keeps it supple. At Beauty & Wellness on Olive in Creve Coeur, filler is $600 per syringe, and your plan starts with a facial assessment.
Which areas can dermal fillers treat?
Fillers are versatile, so your provider can match a product to each concern. Common treatment areas include:
- Cheeks: restore fullness, define structure and lift the midface
- Chin and jawline: add definition and rebalance your profile
- Under the eyes: soften hollowness for a refreshed look
- Nasolabial folds and marionette lines
- Temples, hands and fine lines around the mouth and nose
What is the 8-point lift?
The 8-point lift is an advanced technique that places filler strategically across eight zones of the face. It restores youthful volume, contours the cheeks and jaw, and lifts the midface, which makes it a good fit for patients who want a non-surgical lift with a balanced, natural-looking result.
Which filler is right for me?
The right filler depends on the treatment area and your goals. Thicker, high viscosity fillers stay in place, which suits the cheeks, deep folds and jawline. Softer, low viscosity fillers attract water and spread easily, which suits moderate creases, superficial lines and the lips.
The main filler families are:
- Hyaluronic acid: the Juvederm line (Voluma, Vollure, Volbella, Volux), the Restylane line (Lyft, Kysse, Refyne, Defyne, Eyelight), Revanesse Versa and the RHA Collection
- Calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse): immediate lift plus long-term collagen production, used for the jawline, cheeks and hands
- Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra): gradual collagen stimulation for overall volume loss
What about Sculptra and other biostimulators?
Sculptra and Radiesse do more than fill. Sculptra, a poly-L-lactic acid, gradually stimulates collagen over multiple sessions and suits progressive volume enhancement, with results lasting up to 2 years. Radiesse provides immediate volume and stimulates long-term collagen growth, lasting 12 to 18 months or more.
The same biostimulants are used in our non-surgical Liquid BBL to lift and shape the glutes and hips.
How long does filler last?
Longevity depends on the product and the area. This is a general framework, and your provider will give you tailored recommendations at your consultation.
- Up to 1 year: most standard fillers
- Up to 18 months: Juvederm Volbella and Vollure, Restylane Refyne and Defyne, Belotero, Revanesse Versa and Radiesse
- Up to 2 years: Juvederm Voluma and Volux, Restylane and Sculptra
Can fillers be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Pairing neuromodulators with fillers smooths dynamic wrinkles while restoring lost volume. Microneedling or PRP improves texture, chemical peels brighten and refine skin tone, and laser treatments address pigmentation and sun damage alongside added volume.
What are the risks?
Dermal fillers are generally considered safe. Swelling, bruising, redness and tenderness at the injection sites are common, mild and usually resolve within a few days. In rare cases more serious complications can occur, such as infection, lumps or an allergic reaction. Choosing a qualified, experienced provider and following your aftercare instructions helps keep these risks low.
How much do dermal fillers cost?
Filler is $600 per syringe. Your total depends on the filler chosen and the areas treated, and we will go through it with you at your consultation. Financing is available to help spread the cost.
