About Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance
facial contours for a more youthful, refreshed appearance. At Etcetera Medical Weight Loss and
Med Spa, we use trusted products from Allergan’s Juvéderm® collection and Galderma’s
Restylane® line. These fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the
body that helps hydrate and plump the skin. Common treatment areas include the lips, cheeks,
nasolabial folds, chin, and jawline. The process is quick, minimally invasive, and results are
visible immediately with little to no downtime. Depending on the product and treatment area,
results typically last anywhere from 6 months up to 2 years. Each treatment is carefully tailored
to achieve natural-looking, balanced enhancements that complement your unique features.

Sculptra
Sculptra: A Revolutionary Collagen-Stimulating Treatment.Sculptra is an FDA-approved
injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid, designed to restore facial volume and smooth out
wrinkles by stimulating your skin’s natural collagen production. Unlike traditional fillers,
Sculptra works gradually over a series of treatments, providing long-lasting, natural-looking
results. It’s an excellent complement to medical weight loss plans, helping to address facial
volume loss that can occur during significant weight reduction. Perfect for those seeking a
refreshed, youthful appearance!

Kybella
Kybella® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to target and eliminate stubborn fat
beneath the chin, commonly referred to as a “double chin.” It uses deoxycholic acid, a naturally
occurring molecule in the body, to break down and destroy fat cells in the treated area. Once
these fat cells are eliminated, they are metabolized by the body, leaving you with a more sculpted
and refined profile. This non-surgical solution is ideal for those seeking a slimmer, more
contoured appearance without downtime.

EZ-Gel
EZ-Gel is an innovative, all-natural treatment derived from your own blood. It involves drawing
a small amount of blood, processing it to extract Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and plasma proteins,
and then heating and cooling the plasma to create a gel-like consistency. This gel is rich in
growth factors and proteins that stimulate collagen production and enhance skin rejuvenation.
EZ-Gel is typically used in areas requiring volume restoration or rejuvenation, such as:
• Under the eyes (tear troughs)
• Cheeks
• Nasolabial folds
• Jawline
• Neck and décolletage
• Hands
EZ-Gel promotes natural collagen production, improving skin elasticity, hydration, and volume
over time. Results are gradual, with noticeable improvements in skin texture, firmness, and a
youthful appearance that can last several months.
This minimally invasive treatment is ideal for those seeking a natural, biostimulating alternative
to synthetic fillers.

How it Works

Fillers restore lost volume in areas like cheeks and lips, enhancing facial contours for a youthful, balanced appearance without looking overdone.

Results are visible immediately after treatment, with full effect in a few days. It’s a quick, effective option for those wanting fast facial rejuvenation.

Depending on the product and area treated, results can last 6 to 18 months, offering a lasting improvement with easy maintenance.

With little to no recovery time, most people return to normal activities the same day—making it a convenient, low-commitment treatment.
