What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to combat the signs of aging by smoothing out facial wrinkles and enhancing areas of diminished volume. Over time, the natural aging process causes the face to lose subcutaneous fat, thinning the cushion between facial muscles and the skin.
This results in more visible lines around the mouth and eyes—commonly known as smile lines and crow’s feet. Additionally, external factors, such as sun damage, genetics, and individual lifestyle choices may cause damage to the skin. Dermal fillers address these issues by restoring lost fullness and promoting a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
Why Use Dermal Fillers?
In today’s society, dermal fillers are a critical part of maintaining one’s appearance. Their job is to replace the volume that we lose as we age. The results are immediate and offer no downtime. The treatment is quick, usually less than one hour. At Pure 111 our use of fillers is very delicate and conservative.
Our goal is to enhance the natural beauty and bring out the best qualities of your face, not to look like a different person. Facial fillers offered include options like the Restylane® family of fillers, Belotero, and the Juvéderm® family of fillers. These fillers beautifully restore volume to areas of the face that become depleted as we age.
If you are looking for a touch-up for your face or to reverse signs of aging, we are in the 5% top dermal filler providers in the greater St. Louis region.
Furthermore, the benefits of using dermal fillers go beyond aesthetic enhancement; they can also improve skin health by stimulating collagen production, providing hydration, and improving the skin’s overall texture and tone.

What Are The Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers offer many benefits for those seeking cosmetic improvement, including a smoother complexion, a more youthful visage, and the softening of deep-set wrinkles. They skillfully replace lost tissue volume and refine facial contours without surgery, often enhancing self-confidence.
Our sophisticated injection methods enable us to expertly address under-eye shadows contributing to a tired appearance, sculpting cheekbones, and balancing lip symmetry. Dermal fillers can smooth out acne scars and rejuvenate the appearance of aging hands by minimizing vein prominence.
Executed with delicate precision, our procedures necessitate minimal recovery time, deliver immediate enhancements in texture and appearance, and promote lasting skin health by stimulating collagen production.
What Do Dermal Fillers Help With?
Your skin consists of two layers known as the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis, or outer layer of the skin, acts as the skin’s primary defense against the environment. The dermis, or innermost layer of the skin, consists primarily of connective tissue and provides the skin with a support network. Most facial wrinkles and deeper folds occur within the dermal layer of the skin.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring molecule. Much like a sponge, its primary function is to bind and absorb water, which creates volume in the face. In this way, hyaluronic acid can be thought of as the body’s internal moisturizer.
But, as we age, HA diminishes contributing to the presence of lines and folds. The injectable gel form of HA works to correct this by restoring hyaluronic acid in your skin, helping to diminish wrinkles.
Dermal fillers, such as those based on HA, help reduce the appearance of age-related lines and wrinkles. They can also add volume to the cheeks and lips, giving the face a fuller, more youthful look. Additionally, dermal fillers can improve the contours of the jawline, soften the appearance of recessed scars, and enhance the shallow contours of the face. They offer a minimally invasive alternative for those seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing more intensive surgical procedures.

After treatment, it is common to experience minor swelling and redness at the injection site. For optimal healing, refrain from manipulating the treated area— no rubbing, touching, or applying pressure, including from spa treatments or snug headwear, for a full day. Likewise, avoid cosmetics during the first 24 hours after your procedure. To further support your recovery, avoid vigorous exercises such as cardio workouts, weightlifting, or yoga; steer clear of hot tubs and saunas to achieve optimal results.
