What can 2 vials of filler do…with knowledge, intentional practice, and artistry, a lot. ⁠
⁠
Here, Dr. Brigham used a combination of dermal fillers: Juvederm`s Voluma and Revance`s RHA 3. ⁠
⁠
Voluma has a nice G-prime rate (support) with less flexibility which leads to great lifting capacity. RHA3 is more flexible but still has nice support, great for areas that are prone to movement. ⁠
⁠
The optimal formula, Voluma for lifting the mid-face and adding support with a blended RHA3 to soften the tear troughs. ⁠
⁠
Holistic, individualized approaches with precise depth placements lead to the natural results and safe outcomes we love.⁠

Some of our clients ask, "Can I refresh my lower face area without getting lip filler? The answer is yes, as seen above. ⁠
⁠
This client had zero vials of lip filler; her lips were beautifully plump to begin. That was not needed. Rather, oral commissure and mid-face support were needed for a perked pout appearance. ⁠
⁠
As we age, the oral commissures (corners of the lips) lose their support structures because elastin and collagen decrease while the skin thins, resulting in the inability to lift the area around the mouth. The mid-face, another lifting structure, also loses volume and support with age, adding weight to the corner of the lips and the marionette zone. A beautiful lifting naturally occurs when both the mid-face and the marionette zone are supported. ⁠

Folds around the corners of the mouth usually develop in the late thirties/early forties. It is natural, yet not ideal. ⁠
⁠
Why does this happen? ⁠
Mid-face volume is decreasing, the fat pads holding deep fat (volume) are descending, and the skin is not as elastic and supportive as it once was. The result is lax skin around the mouth and jowl area. ⁠
⁠
The treatment that best helps soften these folds is **Dermal Fillers**. Initial placement with a firmer filler, such as Juvederm Voluma or Restylane Lyft, in the mid-face area to add support and lift is critical. Then, fine adjustments are added to the corners of the lips and along the jawline using a more flexible filler, such as RHA 3, which helps support those structures as well. ⁠
⁠
This photo shows a beautiful example of that technique; soft, natural, and refreshed. ⁠

A natural lip refresh is what we enjoy best. ⁠
⁠
Lip treatments are now more stunning and natural than ever before. Aesthetic injection techniques and dermal filler technologies are constantly evolving, resulting in more natural and harmonized results. ⁠
⁠
Here, Dr. Brigham injected one vial of Revance`s RHA3 for a subtle yet volumized lip. *Please note that the after picture was taken three weeks after treatment once the swelling had subsided. ⁠

If necessary, Dr. Brigham accesses and treats surrounding facial anatomy when performing a lip refresh with dermal fillers. For many clients, adequate lower facial support is essential for lip harmony and natural results. ⁠
⁠
To add volume in the lip tubercles (lip body) and philtral columns for an overall more youthful yet natural appearance, the marionette zone and oral commissures (lip corners) also required support. ⁠

With age comes wisdom comes undereye protrusion. It is a natural part of the aging process, one many of us dislike. When undereye bags are in their infancy, dermal fillers are a great way to soften them. ⁠
⁠
A skilled injector is a must for this vascular area. Dr. Brigham approaches this area with a proprietary blend of dermal filler using both cannula and needlework for precision and safety. For best results, mid-face volume is corrected first, with the tear troughs treated second. ⁠

Lip filler 👄 often brings overall harmony to the face. ⁠
⁠
Not sure what we mean by that? Here`s the perfect example of that. ⁠
⁠
Here at Aluma Aesthetics, we believe natural and soft lips that are congruent with facial features are always a showstopper.⁠

This is a beautiful example of lip filler adding to overall facial harmony. Subtle and radiant, our favorite result. ⁠
⁠
This client required 2 ml`s of dermal filler, each with a slight difference in stiffness and flexibility, to achieve the exacting results. ⁠

Let`s talk lips. ⁠
⁠
In youth, the corners of the mouth, the oral commissures, have great support. At rest, they are neutral - creating neither a smiling nor frowning appearance. When this is the case, dermal filler is mainly injected into the lip body resulting in a plumper lip congruent with the client`s facial phi ratios. Maintaining neutral oral commissures post dermal filler injections creates a much more natural result. ⁠
⁠
Dr. Brigham injected about 1 ml of dermal filler, mainly volumizing the tubercles, three in the upper lip and two in the lower lip, for a volumized, yet natural, pout. ⁠

Deepening tear troughs come naturally with aging and correcting them is one of our most frequent treatments. No one wants to look ⁠
tired because of shadows and hollows under the eyes. And, more sleep and regular applications of undereye serums won`t add back that youthful undereye volume. ⁠
⁠
A typical treatment course involves:⁠
Supporting and volumizing the medial and lateral cheeks first. In younger clients, this leads to a nice correction of undereye bags and may be all that is needed. If undereye hallows are still present, a minimal amount of blended hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler is placed superficially in the sub-dermis using a tiny cannula. This further softens the undereye groove, known as the nasojugal groove, and leads to a nice and natural eye refresh. ⁠
⁠
Avoiding overcorrection is crucial with the under-eye area. Often, patients will be corrected over a course of two separate visits to ensure optimal results. ⁠

When approaching the face holistically, Dr. Brigham uses small amounts of filler in all the right places, such as the lips. Just a little can go a long way for a soft and natural lip. ⁠

Do we offer half vials (.5 ml`s) for lips? Yes! ⁠
⁠
Some clients want lip hydration and slight plumping; half vials (half of a 1 ml syringe) are great for that. Even better, sometimes, Dr. Brigham uses the remaining .5 mL`s to support other facial areas appropriate for the product for a more harmonized refresh. ⁠
⁠
Here, a half vial of Revance RHA 3 was injected, focusing on the lip tubercles for naturalness. ⁠

No one wants to look old and feel outdated, especially at work. “Brotox” is the label coined to describe men’s increased acceptance of Botox treatments to help counteract facial aging.⁠
⁠
Men’s neuromodulator treatments are definitely on the rise. Roughly thirty percent of all clients receiving Botox or similar treatments are men. Botulinum toxin A, the active ingredient in neuromodulators, decreases wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles around the eyes and forehead. The result — smooth skin.⁠

When injectors follow current research practices, spend countless hours training and honing best techniques, and truly listen to clients and understand their goals, the results speak for themselves.⁠
⁠
Dr. Brigham used .7 mL of HA dermal filler incorporating Dr. Harris` non-surgical lip lift technique. He injected verticle and curved threads using 0.15ml of dermal filler into each tubercle area and 0.05 to left oral commissure to neutralize the slight downturn.⁠
⁠
The "after" picture was taken immediately post injections; this client is a midly swollen in the upper vermillion border.⁠

Did you know that many people report feeling reduced stress and tension after a Botox or Dysport treatment? The fact is that people hold tension in multiple areas of the body: some in their necks, some in their hands, and some in their forehead. Neuromodulators relax those overworked muscles, melting away both lines and tension. It`s a win-win for sure. ⁠
