L’Atelier MedSpa, based in Troy, MI, offers a variety of dermal fillers that can be combined and customized to your unique needs.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Injectable dermal fillers are products used to address moderate to severe wrinkles, as well as volume loss. Dermal fillers are completely non-surgical, making them an ideal choice for anyone who wants to look more youthful without any scalpels or incisions. L’Atelier MedSpa offers a variety of filler options:

  • Bellafill® is the only dermal filler that stimulates long-term collagen growth to help maintain your youthful appearance for up to 5 years. Dr. Compton and Allyson Pyc especially recommend this filler for patients who have “filler fatigue” or are frustrated with having to schedule frequent appointments to maintain their results with fillers.

    Bellafill has two main components:

    • Smooth collagen gel (80%) forms the base of Bellafill, creating smooth, supple volume beneath the surface of the nasolabial folds.
    • Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres (20%) were suspended within the collagen gel. These form a sturdy scaffold where your own natural collagen grows.

    Bellafill replaces lost volume in the skin below the indentation for immediate and lasting correction. It is only available through physicians. Please schedule a consultation at L’Atelier MedSpa in Troy, MI, to learn more about whether it is right for your skincare needs!

  • Voluma is a dermal filler in the Juvederm family. It is specially designed to restore volume to hollow cheeks.

  • Restylane is a popular dermal filler composed of hyaluronic acid. It can plump thin lips, fill moderate to severe midface wrinkles, and restore lost volume.

  • RHA fillers can address fine lines, moderate wrinkles, and severe facial folds. Unlike other fillers, they can safely and effectively treat crow’s feet, horizontal forehead wrinkles, and vertical lines between the brows. These hyaluronic-acid fillers are very flexible and blend well with the face’s natural expressions.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Dermal Fillers?

The best candidates for injectable cosmetic filler treatments in the Detroit area are:

  • In general, good health
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Experiencing thinning or drooping skin
  • Wish to reduce their wrinkles and enhance the appearance of their skin

For Bellafill, the ideal candidates are women or men aged 21 and older who are concerned about the appearance of their nasolabial folds and wish to avoid the regular touch-up treatments associated with other fillers.

Bellafill is FDA-approved for use on all skin types and colors, and its collagen gel and PMMA microspheres have established a safe record. However, an allergy test is required before treatment to ensure prospective patients aren’t sensitive to the product. If you have a history of severe allergies, are allergic to bovine collagen, are allergic to lidocaine, have a bleeding disorder, or are prone to irregular scarring, please let Dr. Compton know prior to your treatment. Schedule a consultation or review Bellafill’s Instructions for Use for a comprehensive review of contraindications.

What to Expect on the Day of Dermal Fillers Treatment

When you are ready to begin your dermal filler treatment, Allyson will meet with you to review your targeted areas for improvement and explain her technique and approach for using your chosen dermal fillers to enhance your features. Your skin will be cleansed and prepared, and if preferred, a topical anesthetic can be applied to desensitize the area. Allyson will then carefully and gradually inject your chosen filler(s) until she reaches the desired effect. The entire process may take no longer than an hour, depending on the extent of the treatment and filler chosen.

Dermal Fillers Recovery

You can return to your normal activities right away. However, at the treatment site, you may experience temporary swelling, redness, pain, bruising, lumps or bumps, itching, and discoloration. Please note that these symptoms are typically temporary and usually resolve within 1 to 7 days. Patients may prefer to apply an ice pack to help soothe any swelling or side effects resulting from their dermal filler treatment.
