Benefits of Dermal Fillers & Biostimulators

  • Instantly restores volume (Dermal Fillers)

  • Smooths wrinkles and enhances facial contours
  • Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
  • Safe, FDA-approved treatment options

Treatment Overview

Dermal Fillers

At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we use Juvéderm® and Restylane®—hyaluronic acid-based fillers that naturally hydrate, plump, and restore volume to the skin. These treatments effectively:

  • Reduce or eliminate wrinkles
  • Plump and hydrate lips
  • Restore lost volume in the cheeks and under the eyes
  • Improve facial contours and scarring

Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the body. When injected, it plumps the skin, creating a soft, smooth surface with immediate, well-tolerated results. Depending on the filler, the effects last 12 months to two years before being naturally absorbed.

Fillers are versatile, restoring hollow areas like the cheeks and under-eyes, plumping lips, and improving scars. At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we customize treatments for natural, youthful results. Enjoy instant transformation with dermal fillers, bringing back smooth, refreshed skin!

Biostimulators

Unlike fillers, biostimulators work gradually, stimulating collagen production for long-term rejuvenation.

  • Boosts collagen for firmer skin
  • Improves texture and hydration
  • Restores volume naturally
  • Lasts up to two years
  • Provides subtle, long-lasting enhancement

At Viva Medspa & Wellness, we offer Sculptra®, a collagen-stimulating biostimulator ideal for larger areas like the cheeks and temples. Unlike fillers, biostimulators don’t work instantly—they firm and smooth skin over weeks, with multiple sessions often needed for optimal results.

Since collagen provides skin structure and elasticity, its decline leads to wrinkles and sagging. Biostimulators regenerate collagen, restoring firmer, youthful skin naturally. They also enhance hydration by increasing hyaluronic acid production, improving moisture retention and skin radiance.

BENEFITS OF SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE INJECTIONS

  • Significant Weight Loss: Clinical trials have shown substantial weight loss in individuals using these medications.
  • Improved Metabolic Health: Both medications help improve insulin sensitivity and control blood sugar levels.
  • Appetite Control: They effectively reduce hunger and enhance satiety, making it easier to adhere to a healthy diet.
  • Convenient Administration: These medications are administered via a simple injection, typically once a week.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

While Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

Nausea and Vomiting: Common during the initial stages of treatment as the body adjusts.

Diarrhea or Constipation: Gastrointestinal issues may occur but often subside over time.

Low Blood Sugar: Rare but possible, especially when combined with other diabetes medications.

    • Exercise beforehand, as you’ll need to avoid it after treatment
    • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
    • Avoid NSAID painkillers (ibuprofen, aspirin) for a week to reduce bruising

 

During Treatment

  • A numbing cream will be applied for comfort
  • Precise injections are administered into targeted areas
  • The procedure takes 10–20 minutes, with little to no discomfort 

 

After Treatment

  • Minimal downtime—resume daily activities immediately
  • Mild redness or swelling may occur but will resolve quickly
  • Results vary:
    • Dermal Fillers: Immediate volume and wrinkle reduction, lasting 6 months to 2 years

Maintenance

For long-lasting results, regular follow-up sessions may be recommended. Dermal fillers will last up to 6 months to 2 years, while biostimulators require multiple treatments to achieve full collagen stimulation, with effects lasting up to 2 years. Staying hydrated, using sunscreen daily, and following a personalized skincare routine can help extend and enhance your results.

Our team at Viva Medspa & Wellness will create a customized maintenance plan to ensure continuous, natural-looking rejuvenation based on your individual needs.

MAINTAINING MUSCLE

Medical Weight Loss Treatments in Cranston, RI

WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE
While Semaglutide is effective for weight loss, there is a potential risk of muscle loss if proper precautions are not taken. At Viva we have the solution for you!
Evolve X contouring is a non-invasive procedure that uses electrical muscle stimulation to strengthen, tone and sculpt the body. It targets specific muscle groups, mimicking the effects of a workout by inducing muscle contractions. One 30 minute treatment is equivalent to hours in the gym!
To maintain muscle mass and enhance your results, it is recommended to include EvolveX along with consistent strength training for the entirety of the time you are taking weight loss injections.
When combined with Semaglutide or Tirzepatide for weight loss, EvolveX can transform your body!

MAINTAINING SKIN LAXITY

WHILE TAKING SEMAGLUTIDE AND TIRZEPATIDE
When losing weight we run the risk of losing skin laxity and having loose sagging skin. For all of our weight loss clients we recommend starting Morpheus 8 Radiofrequency Microneedling as soon as you start the weight loss process. Morpheous 8 RF microneedling stimulates collagen production and tightens the skin. When paired with Semaglutide treatments, Morpheous 8 RF Microneedling can help address skin laxity that might arise as a result of weight loss and fat reduction. This combination ensures that patients not only achieve their desired body shape but also enjoy smoother, firmer skin.
Book a consultation to determine if Morpheus 8 RF Microneedling is the skin tightening solution for you.

Results

Dermal fillers provide instant volume and smooth wrinkles, restoring a refreshed, youthful appearance immediately after treatment. Patients often notice fuller lips, lifted cheeks, and softened lines right away, with optimal results appearing once any minor swelling subsides. Biostimulators work gradually, encouraging the body’s natural collagen production over several weeks to tighten skin, restore volume, and enhance elasticity. Full results from Sculptra® develop progressively, offering a subtle yet long-lasting enhancement that can last up to two years. Whether you want instant correction or long-term rejuvenation, our expert team ensures beautiful, natural results tailored to your goals.
