Dermal Filler

Dermal HA Filler

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injected under the skin by one of our medical professionals to reduce the visible signs of aging as well as highlight specific areas. From a subtle lip plump to a full facial rejuvenation, our expert providers can answer all your questions and tailor a customized treatment plan to achieve your aesthetic goals.

How It Works

At Aloha Med Spa spa, we prioritize your comfort and safety during every treatment. For our Dermal Fillers, we use a comfort scale ranging from 0 to 3, which involves the use of local anesthetic, ice packs, and numbing cream to ensure a painless experience. Additionally, our treatment has no downtime, so you can get back to your daily activities right away! The length of the appointment will vary depending on the areas treated, but typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours. To prepare for the best results, we recommend avoiding alcohol and NSAIDs for 48 hours prior to your treatment to minimize any potential bruising. Trust us to provide you with a relaxing and effective experience!

Common Questions

Have a question? Here you’ll find detailed and friendly answers to all the questions that our customers commonly ask us.

What To Expect

Treatments typically take 15-60 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas.
The continued aging of your face and variables in the absorption of fillers will affect how long your results last, but typically, you can expect results to last about 6 months to a year or so.
Pain level is easily tolerable as most fillers contain Lidocaine; however, we also use other forms of anesthesia to provide patient comfort.
Dermal filler injections may also be performed using a Microcannula which is a thin, flexible, and blunt tip cannula that reduces the risk of bruising and swelling.

Pre-Care Treatment
