Dermal fillers
Lips, cheeks, chin, and jawline — restored, not inflated. Good filler is invisible; you should look rested, not done.
Lips typically take one syringe. Cheeks and jawline often take one to two per session, built gradually across visits when needed.
The honest version
Filler has a reputation problem, and it earned it. Everyone can picture the overfilled face — the shelf-like cheeks, the lips that arrive before the person does. That look comes from chasing volume instead of structure, and from injectors who never learned to say "that's enough."
We use hyaluronic-acid fillers exclusively, placed with a light hand where your face has actually lost support: the mid-cheek that has drifted, the lip border that has softened, the chin that has receded into the jawline. The goal is the face you had, not a different one. Elise has turned away more filler requests than most injectors have filled — if the work won't age well, she will tell you at the consultation, for free.
Who it's for
- Lips that have thinned with age, or a lip border that lipstick now bleeds past
- Flattening mid-cheeks and the shadowed under-eye that comes with them
- A weak or receding chin, or early jowls softening the jawline
- Deep smile lines (nasolabial folds) that neurotoxin can't touch
What's included
- Complimentary consultation with an honest assessment — including "you don't need this yet"
- Premium FDA-approved hyaluronic-acid fillers (Juvéderm and Restylane families)
- Numbing cream and fillers pre-mixed with lidocaine for comfort
- Cannula technique where it reduces bruising risk
- A written record of product, amount, and placement for future visits
- Complimentary two-week review — swelling settles, then we judge the result together
- Dissolver (hyaluronidase) on-site — a safety standard, not an extra
What it can't do
Every treatment has limits. Here are this one's.
Filler restores lost volume and structure. It cannot lift genuinely loose skin — that is a surgical conversation, and we will be straight with you if that is what you actually need. It also cannot fix over-filled work instantly; dissolving and rebuilding takes weeks and patience. And one syringe is one-fifth of a teaspoon: anyone promising a dramatic first-visit change is planning to over-treat you.

Fillers questions
Because we build slowly. We would rather you return in a month for a little more than walk out with too much. Filler placed gradually reads as "you look great lately" — filler placed all at once reads as filler. Our whole book of business is people whose friends can't tell.
Lips: 9–12 months. Cheeks, chin, jawline: 12–18 months, sometimes longer. It fades gradually — you will not wake up deflated one morning. Results vary with product, placement, and how quickly your body metabolizes it.
Plan on some swelling for 24–72 hours, especially in lips, and the possibility of a bruise that makeup covers. We use cannulas where they lower the risk, and we will not treat you within two weeks of a major event — book accordingly, and we will help you plan the timing.
Yes — hyaluronic-acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase, which we keep on-site at all times. It is one reason we use HA products exclusively. Reversibility is a safety feature we are not willing to give up.
