Facial fillers are one of the most versatile tools in aesthetic medicine — capable of restoring lost volume, smoothing deep lines, defining features, and subtly turning back the clock without surgery. But with so many filler options available, it can be hard to know what you're actually getting. Here's a clear breakdown of the types of fillers, what each one is best for, and exactly what we offer at Luxe Beauty Amarillo.
What Are Facial Fillers?
Facial fillers — also called dermal fillers — are injectable substances used to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and restore contour to the face. Unlike wrinkle relaxers (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau), which work by relaxing muscles, fillers physically fill in areas of volume loss or structural deflation.
Most fillers used today are made from hyaluronic acid (HA) — a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and holds moisture. HA fillers are fully reversible with an enzyme called hyaluronidase, which is an important safety advantage. Other fillers work as biostimulators, triggering your own collagen production for longer-lasting structural improvement.
Types of Fillers We Offer at Luxe Beauty
We carry a curated selection of premium filler products, each chosen for specific performance characteristics:
Revanesse Versa: A smooth, high-quality HA filler ideal for lips and moderate facial lines. Known for its low swelling profile — meaning less post-treatment puffiness than many other HA fillers. Lips start at $350. Results last up to 12 months.
RHA 2: Part of the Resilient Hyaluronic Acid collection, designed to move naturally with facial expressions. Used for lip enhancement and fine lip border definition. Results last up to 9–12 months.
RHA 3: A medium-density RHA filler for moderate facial lines and adding volume to areas with dynamic movement, like the nasolabial folds. Starting at $600. Results last up to 12 months.
RHA 4: The densest RHA option — designed for deep volume restoration in the cheeks, midface, and hands. Excellent for patients experiencing significant age-related volume loss. Results last up to 12–15 months.
Radiesse: A calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) biostimulator filler that provides immediate volume while also triggering collagen production underneath. Results last 12–18 months and continue improving over time. Available in standard and hyperdilute formulations for skin quality improvement.

Fillers vs. Biostimulators: What's the Difference?
HA fillers like Versa and RHA add volume immediately and are fully reversible. They're ideal when you want a predictable, specific result you can adjust over time.
Biostimulators like Radiesse work differently — they add some immediate volume but their primary effect is stimulating your body to produce new collagen. Results build gradually and last longer. They're not easily reversible, but they address the underlying structural loss rather than just masking it.
Many patients benefit from a combination: HA filler for targeted areas that need precise volume, and biostimulators for overall skin quality improvement and longer-lasting structural support.
What to Expect During Your Filler Appointment
A typical treatment session takes 30–45 minutes including consultation and injections
Most areas are pre-numbed with topical cream; lips may be numbed with a dental block for comfort
Results are visible immediately, though some swelling in the first 24–48 hours is normal — final results are best evaluated at 2 weeks
Mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites is common and typically resolves within a few days
Arnica gel or supplements can help minimize bruising if you're prone
Filler Aftercare
Avoid UV exposure, massages, and facials for at least 1 week post-treatment
Use a cold compress for the first 48 hours, then a warm compress to help reduce any residual bruising
Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive heat (saunas, hot tubs) for 24–48 hours
Resume normal skincare after 24 hours
Who Is a Good Candidate for Facial Fillers?
You may be a great candidate if you:
Want to smooth moderate-to-deep lines around the nose and mouth
Are experiencing volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or under-eyes
Want fuller, more defined lips
Are looking for natural-looking facial rejuvenation without surgery
Have experienced facial volume changes from weight loss (including GLP-1 medications)
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do facial fillers last?
It depends on the product and area treated. Lip fillers typically last 9–12 months. Cheek and midface fillers last 12–15 months. Radiesse can last 12–18 months or longer as collagen builds. Your provider will give you realistic expectations for your specific treatment.
Can fillers be reversed?
HA fillers (Versa, RHA) can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Radiesse is not reversible, which is why proper consultation and conservative dosing by an experienced injector matters.
Do fillers hurt?
Most patients find filler injections very manageable. Topical numbing is always applied, HA fillers contain lidocaine, and dental blocks are available for lip treatments. Most patients rate the discomfort as mild.
