Dermal Fillers
Restore Volume, Sculpt Contours, and Define Your Glow
OUR APPROACH
Not all fillers are created equal. Neither are treatment plans.
Customized lifting. Immediate results. Targeted volume.
WHO IT’S FOR
Designed for subtle structure, balance, and restoration.
For those seeking restored balance, softer shadows, or refined definition.
THE SCIENCE OF STRUCTURE
Strategic volume can restore support where facial contours have changed over time.
Mechanism
Using Hyaluronic Acid (HA), fillers instantly restore volume and hydration. This supports the skin’s structure to lift and smooth sagging tissue.
Instant Results
Results are visible immediately. You will leave your appointment refreshed, with final results settling beautifully over the next 1–2 weeks.
Quick Procedure
Treatment takes 30–45 minutes using ultra-fine needles. We prioritize your comfort with topical numbing and a precise, gentle technique.
Results Duration
Depending on the product, results typically last 6–18 months. The filler is gradually absorbed by the body over time.
One size does not fit all. Different densities. Custom contours. Sculpted to your unique anatomy.
FORMULATION MATTERS
Different formulations. Different roles. One tailored plan.
JUVÉDERM®
Juvéderm® is the world’s leading filler collection, famous for its smooth, cohesive gel consistency and Vycross® technology. It is often considered the "gold standard" for creating plush, hydrated lips and restoring deep volume loss in the cheeks. Its ability to integrate seamlessly into the tissue makes it ideal for patients seeking a soft, "glow-from-within" hydration along with significant structural contouring.
-
Onset: Immediate results; optimal "glow" and softness achieved by day 14.
-
Result Duration: One of the longest-lasting options, with results persisting up to 12–24 months (e.g., Voluma).
RESTYLANE®
Restylane® is a versatile powerhouse known for its XpresHAn Technology™ and wide range of specialized formulas. It is celebrated for its ability to provide structural support and precision lifting. Whether you are looking to define a jawline, lift the mid-face, or smooth deep nasolabial folds, Restylane® offers a tailored approach with a long-standing clinical track record for safety and elegance.

Onset: Instant volume restoration; final integration within 2 weeks.

Result Duration: Typically persists for 6–12 months, depending on the specific formula used.
RHA® COLLECTION
The RHA® Collection is the first resilient hyaluronic acid designed specifically for facial dynamics. Unlike traditional fillers, it is engineered to mimic the natural HA in your skin, allowing it to adapt to your facial expressions without appearing stiff or "overdone." This makes it the premier choice for "moving" areas like the mouth and cheeks, offering an undetectable, sophisticated finish.
-
Onset: Immediate visible refinement; settles fully within 7–14 days.
-
Result Duration: Designed for longevity, lasting up to 15 months.
Note: Onset and longevity can vary based on individual metabolism, treatment area, and dosage. A personalized consultation helps determine the best option for your goals.

YOUR APPOINTMENT
Thoughtful preparation supports a smoother treatment and recovery.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
✧ 7 Days Prior | If approved by your provider, pause medications and supplements that may increase bruising, including aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, fish oil, vitamin E, and ginkgo. Do not stop a prescribed blood thinner without approval from the clinician who prescribed it.
✧ 24 Hours Prior | Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.
✧ Day of Treatment | Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face.
✧ Health History | Let us know about cold sores, recent illness, dental work, vaccinations, allergies, or previous reactions to injectable treatments.
PRO TIP: For weddings or major events, schedule your treatment at least 3 to 4 weeks in advance to allow time for swelling or bruising to settle.
POST-TREATMENT PROTOCOL
✧ The Hands-Off Rule | Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas unless instructed by your provider.
✧ Sleep & Elevation | Keep your head slightly elevated during the first night to help minimize swelling.
✧ Heat & Activity | Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and intense heat for 24 to 48 hours.
✧ Skin Integrity | Wait 24 hours before applying makeup and avoid firm pressure around the treated areas.
NOTE: Mild swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occur during the early settling period. Your result will continue to soften and refine over the following 1 to 2 weeks.
THE SETTLING RADIANCE
YOUR FIRST 14 DAYS AFTER FILLER
Changes may be visible immediately, though early swelling can temporarily affect how the treated area looks. As the area settles over the following days, the result often becomes easier to assess. Timing varies by treatment area, filler formulation, and individual response.
DAY 1 | THE INITIAL CHANGES
Changes may be visible immediately. Early swelling can make the treated area appear fuller or slightly uneven.
WHAT YOU MAY FEEL
Mild tenderness, tightness, or a temporary feeling of fullness.
AFTERCARE TIP
Keep your head slightly elevated and avoid touching or massaging the area unless your provider instructs you to do so.
DAY 5 | SOFTENING AND SETTLING
Early swelling and tenderness often begin to ease. Bruising may continue to fade, and the treated area may start to feel softer.
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
Contours may look more balanced as the initial fullness decreases, although some swelling or firmness can remain.
VISUAL EFFECT
The result may appear smoother and easier to assess.
DAYS 2-4 | SWELLING AND BRUISING
Swelling or bruising may be more noticeable during this period. Temporary fullness or asymmetry can occur while the area begins to settle.
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
The treated area may look fuller than expected, and bruising may change color as it fades.
AFTERCARE TIP
Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and intense heat for 24 to 48 hours, or as directed by your provider.
DAY 14 | A MORE SETTLED RESULT
By two weeks, swelling is often reduced and the result is generally easier to assess. Some swelling, firmness, or unevenness may take longer to settle.
EXPECTED OUTCOME
A softer, more balanced appearance guided by your treatment plan.
LONGEVITY
How long results last depends on the product, treatment area, amount used, and individual metabolism. Your provider will explain what to expect from your selected filler.
Healing is part of the process. Give the result time to settle.
Precision in every detail. Transparency in every step.
The MajorGlow Philosophy
Our approach to dermal fillers begins with facial balance, anatomy, and restraint. Rather than treating one feature in isolation, we consider how structure, movement, and proportion work together across the face. Each placement is planned to restore support, refine contour, and preserve the expressions that make you recognizable.
The goal is not volume for its own sake. It is a result that feels rested, balanced, and quietly refined. Whether we are softening shadows, restoring a profile, or enhancing definition, every treatment plan is tailored to your features and guided by the same principle: you should still look unmistakably like yourself.
Refinement should be felt, never detected.
FAQ
How do you avoid an over-projected look with lip filler?
+
We focus on lip anatomy, proportion, vertical height, border definition, and controlled projection. The amount and placement are tailored to your features rather than following one standard lip shape.
Is swelling or temporary asymmetry normal after filler?
+
Mild swelling, bruising, tenderness, and temporary unevenness can occur after treatment. These effects generally improve as swelling settles. Contact the practice promptly if symptoms are severe, unusual, or worsening.
Can filler reshape the nose without surgery?
+
Filler may camouflage certain contour irregularities and refine the profile without surgery. It cannot make the nose smaller, and not everyone is a suitable candidate. Careful in-person assessment is essential.
Can dermal fillers be dissolved if needed?
+
Hyaluronic acid filler can often be reduced with hyaluronidase. The response varies, and more than one treatment may be needed. Your provider will identify the product used and discuss the appropriate correction plan.
When will I see results, and how long will they last?
+
Some change is visible immediately, although early swelling can affect the appearance. Settling time and longevity vary based on the product, treatment area, metabolism, and treatment plan. Maintenance may be needed to preserve the result.
What are dermal fillers?
+
Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore volume, soften certain folds, and refine facial contours. Many fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, although formulations and approved uses vary.
How do I know which filler is right for me?
+
Your provider will assess your anatomy, facial movement, skin quality, treatment area, and goals. The most suitable formulation depends on where support, flexibility, softness, or definition is needed.
Can filler help under-eye hollows?
+
Filler may soften shadowing caused by volume loss in carefully selected patients. It does not treat every cause of dark circles or puffiness, so an in-person assessment is essential.
Will dermal fillers make me look unnatural or overfilled?
+
The goal is balanced enhancement that preserves your natural expression. Product choice, placement, and amount are tailored to your anatomy. Conservative treatment can create refinement without an overfilled appearance.
