Dermal Fillers in Dexter, Missouri (MO)
Hyaluronic acid is found in almost all skincare products—creams, serums, tonics. You probably even have a hyaluronic acid cream on your shelf right now. This widespread use underscores its vital role in hydration and skin health, bridging the gap between daily skincare and the transformative effects of professional treatments.
The truth is, a magic wand that could erase wrinkles from your face, rejuvenate your skin, plump up your lips, or highlight your cheekbones doesn’t exist. But, hyaluronic fillers in the hands of experienced professionals do, and that’s exactly what they do.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore or enhance facial volume and contours, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve skin hydration and texture. Dermal fillers can be classified into two main types: hyaluronic acid fillers and non-hyaluronic acid fillers. Hyaluronic acid fillers, leverage the natural hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid to add volume and smoothness to the skin. Hyaluronic acid, including hyaluronic fillers, is a natural substance found in our bodies. It has the ability to bind a significant amount of water, which helps fill in wrinkles and restores skin’s firmness, tightness, and freshness. Hyaluronic fillers replenish the (lost) volume and elasticity of the skin.
Anti-aging properties
Hyaluronic acid plays a crucial role in the skin’s renewal and regeneration processes, making it a popular choice in anti-aging treatments. By itself, hyaluronic acid partly stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which slows down the skin aging process. Since it is a natural part of our bodies, unlike other substances, the body recognizes and accepts it as compatible.
Areas Where Fillers Can Improve Your Face
You can start using fillers as soon as you notice the first signs of wrinkles. Also, if you’re looking to increase the volume of your lips, sculpt your cheekbones or jawline, fillers can enhance your face even before signs of aging appear.
Hyaluronic fillers are most commonly used for:
- Smoothing nasolabial folds that run from the nose to the corners of the mouth
- Diminishing marionette lines that start from the corners of the mouth and extend towards the chin
- Correcting sunken or dark under-eye circles
- Enhancing, contouring, and reshaping lips
- Sculpting and defining cheekbones and cheeks
- Rejuvenating and tightening the face – an 8-point lift
- Restoring volume and contours to the forehead and temple area
- Contouring and defining the jawline and chin
- Replacing lost skin volume
- Correcting facial asymmetry
- Rejuvenating the skin of the neck, décolletage, and hands
Wrinkles
In youth, the face has rounded contours, a defined jawline, and prominent cheekbones that create a “youth triangle”. With aging, there’s a loss of fat volume, weakening of muscles, and ligaments underneath the skin. Also, the skin itself loses collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The result is sagging, dry, and thin skin.
Hyaluronic fillers restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. Injected in the right places, they support muscles and ligaments, bringing back youthful contours and lifting the tone of the face. In addition, hyaluronic acid returns moisture, fullness, and radiance to the skin.
Lips
At Alchemē Medical Aesthetics, whether it’s about increasing volume, highlighting Cupid’s bows, or simply hydrating the lips, our lip filler treatment is completely tailored to your face. This way, it retains its uniqueness and natural expression.
To achieve attractive lips and not just volume, we inject hyaluronic acid into parts that highlight the beauty and shape of the lips. Equally important is the choice of the right filler, with specific density and firmness. For volume correction, we choose softer hyaluronic fillers that mimic the structure of the lips themselves. For highlighting contours or Cupid’s bows, a firmer filler is needed.

CheekBones
Prominent, high, and full cheekbones are a symbol of youthful appearance and beauty. In just a few minutes, cheek filler restores lost volume, resulting in a younger and more attractive appearance.
Hyaluronic fillers restore lost volume and smooth out wrinkles. Injected in the right places, they support muscles and ligaments, bringing back youthful contours and lifting the tone of the face. In addition, hyaluronic acid returns moisture, fullness, and radiance to the skin.
Facial Lifting
One of the most popular applications of hyaluronic fillers in aesthetic procedures is for so-called non-surgical “facial lifting”. This is achieved by injecting hyaluron into parts of the face where volume loss is most noticeable with aging, as well as areas that provide support to ligaments.
As we’ve explained, if hyaluronic fillers are applied in the right places, they not only restore volume and contours to the face but also support muscles and ligaments, lifting the facial tone.
It’s important to remember that the power of hyaluron is limited and not everyone is a candidate for this treatment. Individuals with a lack of fullness in the face and slightly sagging skin are ideal candidates. For them, fillers will restore contours and volume, making their face appear lifted and tightened.
On the other hand, for individuals with noticeably sagging skin hyaluronic fillers may not provide the desired effect. In such cases, caution is advised with the use of hyaluronic fillers to avoid an overfilled and unnatural appearance.

Under-Eye Fillers
Under-eye fillers are specifically designed to address the hollowing and dark circles that can appear under the eyes as a result of aging or genetic predisposition. By carefully injecting hyaluronic acid beneath the eyes, we can significantly reduce the appearance of shadows and hollows, providing a more refreshed and youthful look.
This delicate area requires precision and an understanding of the intricate anatomy of the face, which is why our experienced professionals ensure a safe and effective treatment, tailored to each individual’s unique features and needs.
