Both brands offer HA fillers in a range of formulations designed for specific areas to provide natural-looking results that move with your expressions
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
PRP skin rejuvenation uses platelet-rich plasma, a concentrated component of your own blood, to stimulate collagen production and promote healthier, more radiant skin. After drawing a small blood sample, the plasma is separated and injected into targeted areas to support natural tissue regeneration. This regenerative approach can improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity over time. PRP is an excellent choice for under-eye rejuvenation.
Your facial filler injection appointment begins with a consultation to discuss your aesthetic goals and review your medical history. During the appointment, Dr. Spann will select the appropriate type of filler material, whether hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvederm or Restylane or a more natural approach using your body's own platelet-rich plasma.
Dr. Spann then carefully maps the injection sites for optimal enhancement. Most dermal filler injections take 20 to 40 minutes. Dr. Spann injects dermal fillers using very fine needles or cannulas to reduce bruising and discomfort.

Most patients experience little to no downtime after dermal filler injections. Minor swelling, tenderness, or bruising around the injection site is common but typically resolves within a few days. Applying a cold compress and avoiding strenuous activity, heat exposure, or alcohol for the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling and promote comfort. While some results may be visible right away, it often takes up to two weeks for filler to settle fully and reveal the final outcome.

While dermal fillers are generally safe when administered by an experienced provider, risks can include bruising, swelling, and tenderness at the injection site. More serious complications, though rare, may involve blood vessel injury, which can lead to skin necrosis if blood flow is compromised. Choosing a qualified injector with a strong understanding of facial anatomy significantly reduces these risks.

Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are a type of filler made from a gel-like substance that naturally occurs in the body and provides immediate volume and hydration to soften lines and enhance facial contours. In contrast, biostimulatory fillers like Sculptra and Radiesse are types of filler designed to stimulate the body’s own collagen production for longer-term improvement. Sculptra contains poly-L-lactic acid, which gradually restores volume by encouraging collagen growth over time. Radiesse uses calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres to achieve a similar effect, offering both immediate lift and progressive skin firmness as your own collagen is rebuilt.
