Facial Filling Treatments
Dermal Fillers & the Liquid Lift
Restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and sculpt natural-looking contours with advanced filler techniques from Albuquerque's most experienced medical spa team.
Facial enhancement through the facial filling procedure is likely what we would consider our signature treatment at Bair Medical Spa. Our clinicians take a tremendous amount of pride in their artistic ability to use dermal injectables in combination with BOTOX Cosmetic, Jeuveau, and Dysport to give the face a “liquid lift” — and they should be proud. Our clients are pleased with the results.
Their talent to re-sculpt the appearance and structure of the face is so advanced, they can even achieve the results of rhinoplasty non-surgically. Our medical staff uses topical numbing cream and other anesthetic techniques to make our facial filling treatments as comfortable as possible. After your treatment, our client care specialists will apply Colorescience Pro mineral makeup to cover any temporary inflammation, so you can have a Liquid Lift at lunch and return to work the very same day.
Restylane® Products
With over forty million treatments worldwide and counting, the Restylane line of hyaluronic acid fillers provides natural-looking results. The family includes Restylane LYFT for cheeks and midface volume, Restylane for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and nasolabial folds, Restylane REFYNE and DEFYNE with XpresHAn Technology for flexible movement in laugh lines, Restylane KYSSE for lip volume and upper lip lines, and Restylane SILK for precise lip shaping and fine line control around the mouth.
JUVEDERM® Collection of Fillers
JUVEDERM is a long-lasting, non-surgical option that contains a modified form of hyaluronic acid. The collection includes JUVEDERM ULTRA XC for lip fullness and moderate wrinkles, ULTRA PLUS XC for deeper folds, VOLUMA XC for cheek volume lasting up to two years, VOLLURE XC for long-lasting correction of nasolabial folds, and VOLBELLA XC for subtle lip augmentation and perioral lines. Over 90 percent of filler patients receive an HA dermal filler, making the JUVEDERM collection a top choice.
REVANESSE® VERSA™+ & LIPS™+
REVANESSE VERSA+ uses proprietary Thixofix cross-linking technology to produce a highly versatile, smooth HA gel for moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. REVANESSE LIPS+ is specifically designed for lip augmentation, providing soft, natural-looking volume enhancement with smooth, even results optimized for delicate lip tissue.
Radiesse® Volumizing Filler
Radiesse is composed of Calcium Hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel carrier. Once injected, it provides immediate volume and correction while also acting as a scaffold that stimulates your body to produce its own natural collagen. Over time, the gel is absorbed and the body metabolizes the CaHA microspheres, leaving behind only your own natural collagen. Results can last a year or more, making it one of the longest-lasting dermal fillers available. Radiesse is used to volumize the cheeks, chin, jawline, and back of the hands.
Sculptra® Aesthetic
Sculptra Aesthetic, or poly-L-lactic acid, is the only volumizer scientifically designed to stimulate natural collagen growth, with results lasting more than two years. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers that fill wrinkles directly, Sculptra works within the deep dermis to revitalize collagen production and restore your skin's inner structure. Results appear gradually over a treatment series of typically three injection sessions spaced over a few months.
RHA® Collection
The RHA Collection are the first and only FDA-approved HA fillers designed specifically for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that appear when your face is in motion. Developed by TEOXANE Laboratories, the RHA Collection uses a preserved network of hyaluronic acid that closely resembles the natural HA found in your skin. This allows the filler to stretch and move with your facial expressions while maintaining correction. The collection includes RHA 2 for moderate dynamic wrinkles, RHA 3 for moderate to severe, and RHA 4 for severe wrinkles and cheek volume.
Thread Lift Treatments
Cosmetic threads are surgical sutures inserted under the skin using a small needle, allowing the exposed thread end to pull loose skin taut. A thread lift offers mirror-like effects of a surgical facelift without the added pain and downtime. Once threads are inserted, your body's natural healing response triggers collagen production, providing a gradual tightening and rejuvenation effect even after the threads dissolve. Thread lifts can be used on the brows, cheeks, jowls, jawline, neck, and nasolabial folds, typically taking less than an hour.

Ideal Candidates
Are Dermal Fillers Right for You?
Dermal fillers are an excellent option for adults who have noticed volume loss in the cheeks, temples, or under-eye area, or who have developed deepening nasolabial folds, marionette lines, or thinning lips. They are also ideal for patients who want to enhance facial contours — such as a more defined jawline or chin — without surgery.
Candidates should be in good general health and have realistic expectations about what non-surgical treatments can achieve. Fillers are not recommended for individuals who are pregnant or nursing, or who have active skin infections in the treatment area.
Many patients combine fillers with BOTOX, Dysport, or Jeuveau for a comprehensive Liquid Lift approach. During your complimentary consultation, a clinician will help determine which combination of products and techniques will best achieve your aesthetic goals.
The Process
What to Expect
Consultation
A clinician evaluates your facial structure, discusses your goals, and recommends a personalized filler plan. All cosmetic consultations are complimentary.
Preparation
Topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Some fillers contain lidocaine for additional anesthesia during injection.
Treatment
Your clinician precisely injects the selected fillers into targeted areas. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the extent of treatment.
Aftercare
Colorescience Pro mineral makeup is applied to cover any temporary redness. You can return to normal activities the same day. Minor swelling or bruising may occur and typically resolves within a few days.
Recovery & Results
See Results Immediately
Dermal fillers provide immediate visible improvement. You will notice restored volume and smoother contours right after your treatment. Some mild swelling is normal and typically subsides within two to five days, at which point your final results become fully apparent.
Bruising is possible but usually minor and easily concealed with makeup. Your clinician may advise avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and blood-thinning supplements for 24 to 48 hours after treatment.
HA fillers like Restylane and JUVEDERM typically last six to eighteen months. Radiesse can last over a year. Sculptra results appear gradually over several months and can last more than two years. Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will recommend a maintenance schedule tailored to your needs and the products used.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers used at Bair Medical Spa are based on hyaluronic acid (HA), a substance naturally found in your skin. Other options include calcium hydroxylapatite (Radiesse) and poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra), which stimulate your body’s own collagen production. Fillers provide immediate results and can be used on the cheeks, jawline, nasolabial folds, lips, temples, chin, and under-eye area.
How long do fillers last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the product used and the area treated. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane and JUVEDERM typically last six to eighteen months. JUVEDERM VOLUMA XC can last up to two years in the cheeks. Radiesse results often last a year or more, and Sculptra Aesthetic can last more than two years after a full treatment series. Your Bair Medical Spa clinician will recommend the best product based on your goals and desired duration.
What is a Liquid Lift?
The Liquid Lift is Bair Medical Spa’s signature treatment combining dermal fillers with BOTOX Cosmetic, Jeuveau, or Dysport to create a comprehensive, non-surgical facial rejuvenation. By strategically placing fillers to restore volume and using neuromodulators to relax expression lines, clinicians can achieve results that mimic a surgical facelift — without incisions, general anesthesia, or extended downtime. The artistry involved is so advanced that clinicians can even achieve the appearance of rhinoplasty non-surgically.
Do fillers hurt?
Bair Medical Spa uses topical numbing cream and other anesthetic techniques to make facial filling treatments as comfortable as possible. Many modern fillers also contain lidocaine, a built-in anesthetic that reduces sensation during injection. Most clients describe the experience as mild pressure with occasional brief stinging. After treatment, client care specialists apply Colorescience Pro mineral makeup to cover any temporary inflammation, so you can have a Liquid Lift at lunch and return to work the same day.
What fillers does Bair Medical Spa offer?
Bair Medical Spa offers a comprehensive selection of FDA-approved dermal fillers: the full Restylane family (including LYFT, REFYNE, DEFYNE, KYSSE, and SILK), the JUVEDERM Collection (ULTRA XC, ULTRA PLUS XC, VOLUMA XC, VOLLURE XC, and VOLBELLA XC), REVANESSE VERSA+ and LIPS+, Radiesse volumizing filler, Sculptra Aesthetic, and the RHA Collection. Thread lift treatments and the Vampire Facelift Procedure are also available for patients seeking alternative or complementary approaches.
How do I know which filler is right for me?
The best filler for you depends on your goals, the treatment area, desired longevity, and your unique facial anatomy. During your complimentary consultation, a Bair Medical Spa clinician will evaluate your face, discuss your concerns, and recommend a personalized treatment plan. In many cases, a combination of products delivers the most natural and comprehensive results.
