Dermal Filler Education Sheet: Teosyal, Juvederm, and RevanesseEnhance Your Natural Beauty with Confidence

At Rejuva Medispa & Laser, we offer a variety of high-quality dermal fillers, including Teosyal, Juvederm, and Revanesse, to help you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance. This guide will explain what dermal fillers are, how they work, their benefits, potential risks, and important pre- and post-treatment care.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth fine lines, and enhance facial contours. Made from hyaluronic acid (HA)—a substance naturally found in your skin—fillers are safe, effective, and highly customizable to your needs.

Common Areas Treated:

• Lips (for volume and definition)

• Cheeks (to lift and contour)

• Nasolabial folds (smile lines)

• Marionette lines (from mouth corners to chin)

• Chin and jawline (for sculpting)

• Under-eye hollows (tear troughs)

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers work by adding volume beneath the skin, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing facial features. The hyaluronic acid in fillers attracts and retains moisture, providing a hydrated, plumped appearance.

Results are immediate and can last from 6 months to 2 years, depending on the filler type, treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

• Immediate Results: See a noticeable difference right after your appointment.

• Natural Appearance: Enhance your features while maintaining a balanced and natural look.

• Customizable Options: Tailored to your specific goals, whether subtle or dramatic.

• Non-Surgical: A quick, minimally invasive option with little to no downtime.

• Long-Lasting Results: Effects last months to years depending on the product and treatment area.

Potential Risks and Side Effects

Dermal fillers are safe when administered by trained professionals. However, possible side effects include:

• Mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site.

• Temporary lumps or unevenness that usually resolve within a few days.

• Rarely, more serious complications such as infection or vascular occlusion.

At Rejuva, our experienced team uses advanced techniques to minimize risks and ensure beautiful, natural results.

Pre-Treatment Instructions

To prepare for your treatment:

1. Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen, or omega’s or fish oil supplements) for at least one week before your appointment to reduce the risk of bruising.

2. Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours before treatment.

3. Inform your provider of any allergies, medical conditions, or previous filler treatments.

Post-Treatment Instructions

Proper aftercare ensures optimal results:

• Avoid touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the treated area for 24 hours.

• Refrain from strenuous exercise, alcohol, or excessive heat (hot showers, saunas) for 24-48 hours.

• Use a cold compress to reduce swelling if needed.

• Avoid makeup for the first 12 hours to prevent irritation.

• Schedule a follow-up appointment if needed for touch-ups.

Who Should Avoid Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers may not be suitable for everyone. Avoid treatment if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• You have severe allergies, particularly to lidocaine or hyaluronic acid

• You have a skin infection near the treatment area.
