Dermal Fillers At Awaken
Natural Volume Restoration with the Juvéderm® Collection and Belotero®
Aging is gradual — and so is the way it changes the face. It's rarely one dramatic shift. It's the cheeks that feel a little flatter. The lines that used to disappear when you relaxed your expression that no longer do. The lips that feel thinner than they used to. The jawline that's lost some of its definition.
Dermal fillers don't turn back the clock so much as they restore what time quietly takes — volume, structure, smoothness, and proportion. When the right product is placed in the right location by the right hands, the result doesn't look like you had something done. It looks like you.
At Awaken Medical Aesthetics, every filler treatment is built around your anatomy, your goals, and a genuine commitment to results that enhance rather than overpower. Our injector team brings exceptional training and a careful eye to every treatment — and we'll never push more product than your face actually needs.

Complimentary ConsultWhat Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable gels used to restore lost facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial structure. Most modern fillers — including every product we use at Awaken — are made from hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance your body naturally produces that retains moisture and supports skin hydration.
Because HA fillers are biocompatible and reversible, they're considered among the safest and most flexible aesthetic treatments available. If you're ever unhappy with a result, hyaluronic acid filler can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. That safety net matters — and it's one reason we feel good about recommending these treatments to patients.
What fillers can address:
-Hollow or flattened cheeks from volume loss
-Deep nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and smile lines
-Thin or asymmetrical lips
-Under-eye hollowing and shadowing
-Soft jawline or undefined chin
-Fine lines around the mouth that won't respond to other treatments
-Overall facial balance and proportion
Deciding What You Need
The Fillers We Use at Awaken Medical Aesthetics
Not all fillers are the same, and not all areas of the face need the same thing. The Juvéderm collection offers multiple formulations engineered for specific treatment zones and purposes. Belotero rounds out our offering for delicate, superficial correction. Here's how each one works and where it fits.
Juvéderm Voluma® XC — Cheek Volume & Midface Lift
Voluma is one of the firmest fillers in the Juvéderm line, designed specifically to restore volume and lift in the midface. If your cheeks have flattened or your face has lost the upward structure it once had, Voluma rebuilds that foundation — subtly and naturally.
Best treatment areas: Cheeks, midface, upper face contouring
Primary purpose: Volume restoration and lift
Texture: Firm and supportive
Longevity: Up to 2 years
Because Voluma is placed deeper in the tissue for structural support, it tends to last longer than fillers used in higher-movement areas. It's one of our most popular treatments for patients in their 40s and beyond who want to address midface aging without surgery.
Juvéderm Volux® XC — Jawline Definition & Chin Projection
Volux is the firmest HA filler available and was specifically designed for lower face sculpting. It creates clean, defined structure along the jawline and can improve chin projection for better overall facial balance.
Best treatment areas: Jawline, chin
Primary purpose: Structural contouring and definition
Texture: Very firm
Longevity: 12–24 months
Jawline definition has become one of the most requested treatments across all age groups — and for good reason. A well-defined lower face improves the appearance of the entire profile. Volux makes it possible without surgery.
Juvéderm Volbella® XC — Lips & Under-Eyes
Volbella is a soft, flexible filler designed for delicate areas that need subtle enhancement rather than significant volume. It's commonly used for gentle lip refinement and to address the tear trough area under the eyes — one of the most technically demanding injection zones.
Best treatment areas: Lips, under-eyes (tear trough), vertical lip lines
Primary purpose: Subtle enhancement and fine line correction
Texture: Soft and flexible
Longevity: Up to 12 months
Under-eye hollowing can make a person look tired regardless of how much sleep they're getting. Volbella, placed carefully by an experienced injector, can significantly soften that shadow — one of the most impactful and underutilized uses of filler.
Juvéderm Ultra XC — Lip Volume & Contour
Ultra XC is a medium-consistency filler well-suited for lip augmentation — adding fullness, improving symmetry, and defining the lip border. It provides more noticeable volume than Volbella, making it the better choice for patients who want a more visible change.
Best treatment areas: Lips, moderate wrinkles
Primary purpose: Lip volume and contour
Texture: Medium
Longevity: 6–12 months
A good lip treatment is one you can't immediately point to. Our approach to lips focuses on proportion and balance — enhancing the shape you already have rather than creating something that competes with the rest of your face.
Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC — Deep Folds & Strong Wrinkle Correction
Ultra Plus is thicker than Ultra XC and provides the structural support needed to correct deeper facial folds. It's the right tool for nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and other areas where significant correction is needed.
Best treatment areas: Nasolabial folds, marionette lines, deeper wrinkles
Primary purpose: Strong wrinkle correction and structural support
Texture: Thick
Longevity: 9–12 months
Juvéderm Vollure® XC — Flexible Wrinkle Smoothing
Vollure uses Vycross technology to create a filler that integrates flexibly into the tissue — meaning it moves naturally with your facial expressions rather than sitting stiffly in place. It's an excellent choice for smile lines and moderate folds where natural movement matters.
Best treatment areas: Nasolabial folds, smile lines, moderate wrinkles
Primary purpose: Flexible wrinkle smoothing and natural movement
Texture: Medium-soft
Longevity: Up to 18 months
Belotero® Balance — Fine Lines & Delicate Areas
Belotero is in a category of its own. Unlike the Juvéderm line, which is engineered for volume and structural correction, Belotero is designed to integrate directly within the superficial dermis, blending seamlessly into the skin without creating any noticeable fullness. It's sometimes called a "blending filler" for exactly this reason.
Best treatment areas: Fine lines around the mouth, vertical lip lines, perioral wrinkles, delicate facial areas
Primary purpose: Superficial wrinkle correction and seamless skin integration
Texture: Ultra-smooth
Longevity: 6–12 months
For fine lines that other fillers would overfill, Belotero is often the only product that does the job correctly. It's a quiet workhorse, not flashy, but genuinely effective for the right concerns.

How to read this table:
If you're addressing the cheeks and midface, Voluma is typically the foundation, sometimes combined with Vollure for adjacent wrinkle correction. For the jawline and chin, Volux provides firm structural definition. For lips, Ultra XC adds volume while Volbella refines the shape and Belotero handles the fine lines around the border. For deeper folds, Ultra Plus and Vollure are your go-to options. And for anything superficial and delicate — fine lines that sit at the skin's surface, Belotero is in a category of its own.
The best treatment plan often involves more than one product, because faces age in three dimensions and no single filler addresses everything well.
Pairing Fillers With Other Treatments
Dermal fillers work beautifully on their own, but they work even better as part of a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Many patients combine fillers with:
-Laser resurfacing (ProFractional, Contour TRL, MOXI) to improve skin texture, tone, and collagen density
-BBL photofacials to address pigmentation and redness
-Botox or neuromodulators to relax dynamic wrinkles that fillers alone can't address
-Microneedling for collagen stimulation and skin quality improvement
Addressing both the structure beneath the skin and the quality of the skin itself produces results that are more natural and longer lasting than either approach alone.
