At our Ethos MedSpa locations in Clayton and Chesterfield, MO, we offer popular and effective dermal fillers to help patients accomplish different cosmetic goals. These fillers are capable of improving various aesthetic aspects, from addressing volume loss to reducing cellulite and enhancing the buttocks. With a wide range of applications, dermal fillers offer versatility in meeting various cosmetic needs.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume and contour various areas of the face. They can help address concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, and loss of facial volume. The types of dermal fillers available vary in composition and longevity, including options like hyaluronic acid fillers and poly-L-lactic acid biostimulators. Each type serves a specific purpose, allowing us to tailor your treatment to you.
Cosmetic fillers offer a non-invasive approach to enhancing your facial features. Without surgical intervention, you can achieve a youthful and refreshed appearance and long-lasting improvement without the hassle of surgery.
One of the advantages of facial fillers is the instant boost that many products provide. Right after your session, you can notice an enhancement in the areas treated, offering quick results that can last for several months.
The variety of dermal fillers on the market allows us to customize your treatment. Whether you’re looking to fill in wrinkles, restore lost volume, or contour specific areas, there’s a product that fits these goals.
What sets injectable fillers apart is their minimal impact on your daily routine. You can typically return to your regular activities immediately after the treatment, making it a convenient option for anyone who has a full schedule.

Sculptra® is a cosmetic injectable that qualifies as a dermal filler, but it’s different from the JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® collection fillers because instead of using hyaluronic acid particles in its formula, it uses an active ingredient called poly-L-lactic acid to stimulate natural collagen production, making it a biostimulator.
Injections into the treatment area deliver some noticeable results and promote gradual results by stimulating natural collagen production. The body responds to the treatment by producing more collagen to naturally fill hollow areas and enhance the appearance. Sculptra® results appear gradually in the weeks following treatment and, depending on your treatment area, may last as long as two years post-treatment.
Sculptra® can address volume loss on both the face and the body, and we can inject it into different areas of the lower and middle half of the face to treat marionette lines, smile lines, and chin wrinkles.
We can also use Sculptra® to enhance the buttocks by stimulating natural collagen production upon injection to add subtle yet noticeable volume to the area. It is also an effective treatment for patients interested in cellulite reduction, as it can promote stronger and smoother-looking skin, reducing the appearance of cellulite in various body areas.
Your treatment will begin with an initial consultation, where we will discuss your treatment goals and ask you questions about your medical history to confirm your treatment eligibility. Then, once we determine that your desired injectable is a safe option for you and you are not allergic to any of its ingredients, we can move forward with the treatment process.
Most patients only need one treatment to achieve their ideal results, but we can discuss the details of your treatment plan at your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect. Depending on your goals, you may be a good treatment candidate for one or multiple fillers. We can discuss your concerns and make treatment recommendations at your consultation.
The level of discomfort varies from person to person and also depends on the area being treated. Many types of dermal fillers contain a numbing agent like lidocaine to minimize pain. Additionally, a topical numbing cream can be applied before the treatment to make the experience more comfortable.
After your treatment with dermal fillers, we will provide you with a comprehensive list of aftercare items. We may want you to avoid strenuous exercise for 24 to 48 hours, refrain from excessive sun exposure, and steer clear of alcohol and blood-thinning medications for a few days.
Being a suitable candidate for dermal fillers generally depends on your health, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, we will talk about these factors and discuss whether dermal fillers are the right option for you. The treatment is usually well-suited for healthy adults looking to address facial volume loss, fine lines, and wrinkles.
At Ethos MedSpa in Chesterfield, MO, we design customized treatment plans with dermal fillers for each patient.
