What it is

Dermal fillers at MODE are hyaluronic acid gels, Juvederm and Restylane lines, placed to restore volume, enhance facial contours, and soften folds that emerge with age. HA is naturally present in the body, making these fillers well tolerated, reversible, and incrementally adjustable.

Our approach is restraint-first. The goal is anatomical proportion: a cheek that looks like your cheek, a lip that reads as yours. We build gradually across visits when needed, and we’d rather under-dose than over-correct.

MechanismHyaluronic acid gel, hydrates and adds structural volume
Best forLips, cheeks, midface, jawline, chin, under-eye, nasolabial folds
ReversibleYes. Hyaluronidase dissolves if needed (see /filler-correction/)
OnsetImmediate volume; final settle at ~2 weeks
Paired withSculptra (collagen foundation), neurotoxins, Skinvive for surface hydration

The protocol

A deliberate sequence, not a one-time visit.

Consult

Full face assessment and treatment plan. We discuss your goals and recommend which filler product(s) and how many syringes across which areas.

Treatment

30-60 minutes. Topical numbing; most HA fillers contain lidocaine. Placed with fine needle or cannula.

Two-week follow-up

Complimentary. Swelling resolves and we assess whether any refinement is needed.

Maintenance

HA fillers typically last 6-18 months depending on product and area. Most patients return at 12 months for review.

Questions

What patients often ask.

How many syringes will I need?+

Lips typically 1/2 to 1 syringe. Cheeks 1-2 syringes per side. A full face rebalance might be 3-6 syringes across multiple visits. Your nurse injector will map this during consult.

Will it look obvious?+

Not with restraint-first treatment. Our approach is to stop before fullness, not at it. If anyone notices, it should be that you look rested, not that you had filler.

What’s the difference between Juvederm and Restylane?+

Both are HA filler families made by different manufacturers. Within each family there are specific products calibrated for lips, cheeks, under-eye, etc. Your injector chooses the product that matches the anatomy and desired result. It’s not a brand preference; it’s a product-fit decision.

Is it reversible?+

Yes. Hyaluronidase dissolves HA filler. See our /filler-correction/ page for dissolution.

How long does it last?+

Lip filler: 6-12 months. Cheek and midface: 12-18 months. Thinner skin areas move and metabolize faster than deeper structural placement.

Who injects at MODE?+

Marisa Dulin, MSN, FNP-C (Co-Owner, Nurse Practitioner) and Torey Varner, RN (Nurse Injector & Trainer).
