​
What fillers do we offer?
At Modern Med, we offer Juvederm, Restylane, Versa, & Radiesse Fillers. All fillers are carefully selected and injected by our Registered Nurses. Filler Injections take about 2 weeks to heal. Bruising, swelling, and tenderness can happen after filler injections. Filler injections lasts 9 months to a year.
Elective Filler Reversal
$200 - $450
Modern Med keeps a filler reversal agent on hand at all times. If we correct another provider’s work, dissolving filler migration, or smoothing out lumps and bumps, we charge for the reversal process. You’ll do a consult before reversing, and an estimate will be given. Filler reversal cannot be done within two weeks of receiving filler unless there is a concern of a vascular complication.
Please note:
After the filler is reversed with the enzyme hyaluronidase, you will not be able to refill the area for two weeks!

FAQS
JUVEDERM/RESTYLANE/VERSA FILLER​
What is it? Dermal Fillers are a prescription medication that are FDA approved in the US. Dermal Fillers are a colorless hyaluronic acid gel that contain a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine) and is injected into facial tissue to smooth wrinkles and folds, especially around the nose and mouth. This is considered a medical procedure and should only be administered by a medical professional.
​
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring sugar found in the human body. The role of hyaluronic acid in the skin is to deliver nutrients, hydrate the skin by holding in water, and to act as a cushioning agent. The role of lidocaine is to reduce the pain associated with injections into the skin.
​
What does it do? Filler temporarily adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face. The lidocaine in the gel improves the comfort of the injection.
What will it accomplish? Injectable Filler will help to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, and plumps lips. Most patients need 1 to 2 treatments to achieve optimal wrinkle smoothing.
Your provider will help guide you during a consultation on which Filler product will be best for the results you are looking for.
​
LIP INJECTIONS
Must be 21 years or older.
Natural, pouty, and hydrated lips are all achievable but may take multiple appointments.
Do not book your filler appointment 1 month out from a special event. Give yourself plenty of time to get the perfect look and start planning 1 year in advance!
How long does it last? up to 9 months! When will I see results? Instantly
Does it hurt? The lips are very sensitive, but topical prescription numbing cream will be applied and a couple small pokes will be felt. Also, all the fillers have lidocaine in them. It is tolerable.
What are possible side effects? Most side effects are mild or moderate in nature, and their duration is short lasting (7 days or less). The most common side effects include, but are not limited to, temporary injection site responses such as: redness, pain/tenderness, firmness, swelling, lumps/bumps, bruising, itching, and discoloration. As with all skin injection procedures, there is a risk of infection. One of the risks with using this product is unintentional injection into a blood vessel. The chances of this happening are very small, but if it does happen, the complications can be serious, and may be permanent.
​
Filler can be reversed/dissolved with a drug called hyaluronidase which is kept in the office at all times.
​
Down time- 48 hours- 1 week of bruising, swelling, tenderness
​
Are there any reasons why I should not receive FILLER (contraindications)? Your injector will ask about your medical history to determine if you are an appropriate candidate for treatment. The product should not be used in patients who have: Severe allergies marked by a history of anaphylaxis or history or presence of multiple severe allergies or have a history of allergies to lidocaine or Gram-positive bacterial proteins. If history of cold sores or herpes you should be treated with an anti-viral by your primary care doctor before and after being injected as injections could cause flare ups. Unfortunately you cannot get filler injections while pregnant or breastfeeding.
