Interest in dermal fillers is higher than ever, but so are the questions. Will it look natural? Should I start small? How do I know what’s right for me?
At Nuey, we believe fillers should refine, not define, your face. Our approach takes a holistic view, using filler as one tool among many to restore balance and subtly enhance what makes you uniquely you. Rather than isolating individual features, we thoughtfully consider how every detail works together to create harmony, preserving your natural structure and expression over time.
What Dermal Fillers Do
Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm® and Restylane®, are gel substances derived from hyaluronic acid (HA). When placed just beneath the skin, they can enhance definition along the jawline, restore fullness in the cheeks or temples, soften folds around the mouth, refresh the under-eye area, and add structure or shape to the lips. Since hyaluronic acid is a substance that already exists in the body, HA fillers are designed to integrate with your own tissue for results that look and feel natural to you.
The Science Behind It
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring sugar molecule found in the skin and connective tissue. It binds to water (up to 1,000 times its weight), helping the skin stay plump, elastic, and hydrated. Over time, natural HA levels decline (along with collagen and elastin), leading to visible volume loss and laxity. By replenishing HA in targeted areas, fillers act as a structural scaffold beneath the skin, restoring support and stimulating collagen production. This added volume can also help improve the appearance of firmness and elasticity, as the skin becomes more hydrated and supported over time.
Why a Whole-Face Approach Matters
It’s common to come in wanting to “fix” one area—such as fuller lips or softer smile lines. But treating a single feature in isolation can disrupt facial harmony. At Nuey, we employ a whole-face strategy to ensure that every adjustment supports and enhances the rest. This is how we achieve balance and subtlety—the kind of enhancements that age gracefully and evolve with you over time. The focus is never simply “adding volume,” but rather creating subtle shifts to restore proportions, light, and contour in a way that enhances your natural expression.
The Nuey Experience
Every journey with Nuey begins with a complimentary consultation. Your provider will take time to understand your goals, study your facial structure, and map out a plan that feels both realistic and tailored. In some cases, treatment can even be performed the same day as your consultation, provided pre-treatment guidelines have been followed.
If you decide to move forward, treatment sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes and involve minimal discomfort, with numbing options available for added ease. Downtime is typically minimal, and most resume their usual activities right away, with only mild swelling or bruising that subsides within days.
Results can be visible immediately, though they typically continue to refine over one to two weeks as the filler settles naturally. Depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism, results can last anywhere from six to eighteen months. From there, your provider will guide you through an ongoing care plan, ensuring your enhancements continue to feel seamless and in proportion as time goes on.
Above all else, safety is our top priority at Nuey. Every treatment is performed by highly trained medical providers using only FDA-approved products and techniques that meet the highest standards of clinical care. We take the time to review your medical history, understand your goals, and ensure each treatment is appropriate for your unique anatomy.
