If you’ve ever looked into getting dermal fillers, you’ve probably noticed the hefty price tag that often comes with them. But what justifies the cost of fillers? Dr. Stephen Bracci, from VERVE Medical Cosmetics, breaks down the hidden costs and science behind achieving those flawless, youthful results.
The Hidden Costs of Fillers
Many people approach fillers as a one-off treatment, purchasing individual syringes of filler at a time. This can lead to a “patchwork” approach, where people bounce from provider to provider, often choosing soft fillers like Juvéderm or Restylane. While these fillers are popular because they’re easy to inject and have minimal downtime, they can result in a puffy, unnatural look over time due to water retention.
Dr. Bracci prefers a more strategic approach: using firmer fillers like Radiesse and Sculptra, which provide longer-lasting, more natural results. These types of fillers are more technically demanding to inject, but they allow for better facial contouring and a more youthful, refined appearance that lasts.
Why a Full-Face Approach Works Best
At VERVE, Dr. Bracci doesn’t sell individual syringes of filler. Instead, he focuses on treating specific areas of the face with a set fee, which often includes follow-up visits for adjustments. This method is called BaseLift™ and not only saves you money in the long run but also ensures better, more balanced results.
By working on the face as a whole, Dr. Bracci can combine different types of fillers—using firmer products like Radiesse and Sculptra for lifting and contouring, and softer hyaluronic acid fillers for finer details. This tailored approach guarantees that each client’s unique facial structure is taken into account, resulting in a more harmonious, natural look.
The Science Behind Filler Choices
One of the key benefits of using firmer fillers is their ability to induce bio-modulation—a process where the filler stimulates collagen production, improving the health of your skin over time. This means that the benefits of the treatment go beyond just aesthetics: your skin becomes stronger, more youthful, and more radiant as the filler encourages tissue regeneration and better blood flow.
The Long-Term Value of Filler Treatments
While the initial cost of filler treatments may seem high, the results you achieve with the right technique and filler choices can last a year or more. At VERVE, the comprehensive approach to fillers means you’ll be able to space out your treatments, saving you money while achieving long-lasting, natural results.
Dermal fillers are an investment in your appearance, and when done correctly, they offer more than just a temporary fix—they can improve the health of your skin and create long-lasting, natural-looking results. By choosing a skilled provider who understands the science of fillers and facial anatomy, you’re not just paying for a syringe of product. You’re paying for an experience, expertise, and a strategy that delivers optimal results.
If you’re looking for a more cost-effective, long-term solution to your filler needs, Dr. Bracci’s approach at VERVE Medical Cosmetics could be exactly what you’re looking for.
