DERMAL FILLERS

RESTYLANE | JUVEDERM | VOLUMA | REVANESSE

  • Cosmetic dermal fillers are one of the most requested anti-aging treatments today, due to their ease of use and their ability to create a variety of improvements.

    The majority of dermal fillers are made up of a soft, gel-like substance called Hyaluronic Acid (HA). HA is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies that helps to keep our skin plump and hydrated.

    Fillers can help replenish lost volume in the face due to aging and soften fine lines and wrinkles. They can also correct imperfections that aren’t necessarily associated with aging, such as shallow scarring and facial asymmetries.

    At Lush Beauty Studio, we are proud to carry a diverse range of FDA-approved fillers that vary in textures and uses, and our providers will always consult with you prior to any treatment to determine the best product for your specific goals and facial anatomy.

    We see ourselves every day, so we don’t always recognize what we look like to the rest of the world and we can become easily hyper-focused on wanting to change a particular area of our face. The key to a good cosmetic filler outcome is to not overdo it. Many times, we say ‘no’ to patients that will not benefit from more dermal filler at that time. Keeping things natural is the way to go!

  • Dermal fillers at Lush Beauty Studio are a great option for both men and women who are looking for natural feature enhancements or to camouflage slight imperfections with minimal downtime.

    Depending on the severity of the concerned area, fillers may not always be the best option. These products are not effective in reversing severe skin laxity, and individuals with significant aging symptoms typically won’t achieve desired results with filler alone.

    If you’re not sure if dermal fillers are what you’re looking for, please feel free to give us a call or schedule a complementary consultation to discuss your options!

  • Cosmetic dermal fillers offer a multitude of benefits to the right patients. The following are some of the most common enhancements accomplished with filler at Lush Beauty Studio:

    • add volume to the lips

    • fill in shallow contours

    • soften facial creases & wrinkles

    • correct minor asymmetries

    • reverse hollowing in the midface

    • minimize jowl formation

    With a variety of dermal filler options, we will tailor your treatment to your specific needs. The goal of cosmetic fillers is to produce a natural, aesthetically-pleasing enhancement to the face that refreshes your appearance and makes you look like the best version of YOU.

  • With many products and formulations to choose from, you can be sure that there will be a dermal filler appropriate for your needs. Some of the options offered at Lush Beauty Studio include:

    JUVEDERM FAMILY
    The Juvederm family is made up of a line of hyaluronic acid fillers with a smooth consistency that address multiple concerns. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that supports the dermal structure and keeps skin hydrated. The synthetic HA found in fillers is biocompatible, with minimal risk of irritation or allergic reaction. Specific products include Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, and Juvéderm Voluma.

    RESTYLANE FAMILY
    The Restylane family also features an extensive line of products containing hyaluronic acid. There are subtle differences between the Restylane and Juvederm formulations, and our skilled providers will advise you as to which product will work best for your personal goals. The Restylane group of dermal fillers that are carried at Lush Beauty Studio include Restylane-L, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Kysse, and Restylane Contour.

    REVANESSE
    Revanesse and Revanesse Lips+ are another great option of hyaluronic acid fillers offered at Lush Beauty Studio that can be used to treat different areas of the face.

  • We pride ourselves in making all of the cosmetic dermal filler injections performed in our Weston, Wisconsin Medspa easy and comfortable. Whether it’s your first filler experience or you’re a filler pro, we will always discuss your goals and expectations to provide you with the absolute best treatment.

    For extra-sensitive areas, such as the lips, we provide a topical numbing cream, as well as a dental block (lidocaine injections), for maximum comfort prior to treatment. For other areas of the face (cheeks, chin, etc.), an ice pack is provided for numbing as these areas are typically less sensitive. We always take care to place the injections in strategic locations to ensure an even, natural result.

    Additionally, Lush Beauty Studio only uses dermal fillers that have lidocaine in the product to provide an extra layer of comfort. At most, patients describe the sensation of dermal filler as mild discomfort, while the majority feel no pain at all.

    Please be aware that swelling and bruising are possible after treatment, and it takes 2 weeks for filler to settle and see full results so it’s important to schedule your filler appointments accordingly.

  • The recommended number of treatments will vary depending on the client’s personal aesthetic goals, volume loss, skin thickness, and other unique defining factors. Some clients want a very natural look and will require less filler, whereas other clients may want more dramatic changes that would require more filler. There is a delicate balance between type of filler, amount of filler, and client’s needs that will be assessed by our injectors at Lush Beauty Studio before proceeding with your injectable treatment.

    Dermal filler results can be noticeable immediately following your treatment; however, the full results will be present around 2-4 weeks following treatment. Once full correction or desired goals have been reached, subsequent treatments may not be needed as frequently.

    Depending on location of treatment, product used, metabolism, and/or other lifestyle factors, results will vary from patient to patient as our bodies absorb the filler at different rates. The average person can typically see optimal results for 6-12 months, while others may find they last up to a year or more before they are gradually and naturally absorbed by the body.

  • Short answer… YES! Our providers have extensive training, are highly skilled in facial anatomy, and have been injecting for years so you can feel comfortable and confident in your treatments at Lush Beauty Studio!

    We only use the best dermal filler products that are made of Hyaluronic Acid. Why?… It’s natural to the body! Hyaluronic Acid is critical in maintaining and binding our own skin’s moisture. While it’s naturally produced within our own body, the production of HA slows down as we age due to free radicals and UV ray exposure, resulting in dry, dull, and wrinkled skin.

    These HA formulas work on all skin tones and types, and with an array of products, allows for them to be used safely and successfully on nearly any area of the face. Since these fillers mimic natural ingredients in the body, the risk of irritation or allergic reaction is extremely low.

    Rest assured, should you ever want to get rid of your HA filler, there is a solution! Lush Beauty Studio carries an injectable enzyme solution called Hylenex (hyaluronidase). This enzyme is another naturally-occurring substance found in the body that is able to effectively dissolve hyaluronic acid by assisting the body’s ability to absorb the material.

    This option is available per client request - for those that may be unhappy with their filler injections, and per client need - for those who may have an adverse reaction to the filler or experience a blood vessel occlusion.

    While it is unlikely, vascular occlusions can happen with even the most experienced injectors. The key is knowing that we have the correct products and a plan in place to remedy these situations if they do occur.

  • PRE-TREATMENT

    • Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment - alcohol may thin the blood and increase risk of bruising.

    • Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for approximately 2 weeks before treatment. Products such as aspirin, vitamin e, omega-3/fish oil supplements, ibuprofen, etc. have a blood thinning effect and can increase risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

    • Schedule your filler treatments at least 2 weeks prior to any special events (wedding, vacation, etc). Results typically take anywhere from 2-4 weeks to fully appear and bruising and swelling may be apparent during this healing period.

    • Be sure to have a good meal prior to your appointment. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.

    • By law, you are not a candidate for any injectables if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    POST-TREATMENT

    • Avoid strenuous exercise and extensive sun exposure/high temperatures for at least 24 hours after filler treatment.

    • Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area, unless instructed by the provider.

    • Avoid consuming excessive amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.

    • You may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each our if needed to help with swelling or discomfort.

    • Try to sleep face up and slightly elevated, if possible, to help with potential swelling.

    • Tylenol may be used as needed for any discomfort after treatment.

WRINKLE RELAXERS

BOTOX | DYSPORT | JEUVEAU

  • Wrinkle relaxers, also known as neurotoxins or neuromodulators, are the single most popular cosmetic treatment in the United States. Over time, repetitive facial movements like frowning, squinting, and other daily expressions inevitably cause fine lines and wrinkles to form on the face.

    When these wrinkle relaxers (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau) are strategically injected into an area of concern, they work to relax the muscle and effectively stop the folding or creasing of the skin that happens with certain facial expressions. The result of this is a more youthful and rejuvenated, yet still natural, appearance.

  • All of the wrinkle relaxer products - (Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau) - offered at Lush Beauty Studio are FDA-approved and have been used safely and effectively for both medical and cosmetic purposes for years.

    The main distinction between these products is their manufacturer and formulation, which can influence how the product spreads and how quickly results are seen. It's important to note that while these three products are produced by different manufacturers, they are all their own brand of product - there are no generics when it comes to wrinkles relaxers!

    Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are all great products and you really can't go wrong with any of them! The best product for you will depend on your unique anatomy, goals, or simply personal preference.

  • Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau treatments at Lush Beauty Studio can treat specific and targeted areas of aging on the face. Some of the most common areas that we treat are:

    • vertical/frown lines between the eyebrows

    • forehead lines

    • crow’s feet around the eyes

    • bunny lines on the nose

    • face slimming/masseter reduction

    • vertical lip lines around the mouth

    • lip flip/gummy smile

    • eyebrow lift

    • dimpled/’orange peel’ chin

    • vertical neck bands

    • hyperhydrosis (excessive sweating on the palms or underarms)

  • At Lush Beauty Studio, we use a tiny insulin needle to inject precise amounts of Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau into each area. The number of injections administered will depend on the size of the area being treated and the strength of the targeted muscle. The process is quick and relatively painless, however we do offer ice packs to our clients for extra comfort.

    While our wrinkle relaxer appointments are scheduled in 45-minute slots to ensure we always have enough time for any questions, concerns, etc., the treatment itself takes only 10-15 minutes and can easily be done on your lunch break!

    Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau results are typically seen anywhere from 3 to 10 days following treatment. On average, neurotoxin results last around 3-4 months, depending on dosage and product used. Lush Beauty Studio’s skilled providers will work with you to determine the best product and dosage for you.

    *Results and treatment duration vary depending on multiple factors.*

  • After receiving a Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau wrinkle relaxer treatment at Lush Beauty Studio, most of our patients can resume their normal routines immediately.

    Tiny bumps resembling mosquito bites are common following injection, but these typically dissipate within 30 minutes of treatment. Some patients may also experience minor redness or bruising at the injection site, which can be easily covered with makeup if desired.

    Please refer to the ‘Pre + Post Care Instructions’ tab below for more information on how to prepare and care for your Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau treatment.

  • Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau treatments are more popular and widely accepted in Central Wisconsin than ever before, and it is one of the safest cosmetic treatments available today.

    Contrary to popular belief, the botulinum toxin protein itself is not actually a poison as it has been extensively modified into a pure form with a very diluted concentration. When injected properly into the muscle, it does not enter other areas of the body.

    To further increase the safety of this treatment, we encourage patients to only get treated by an experienced provider, such as those at Lush Beauty Studio in Wausau, Wisconsin.

  • The number of treatments required is based on your individual goals and overall health of your skin. Most Lush Beauty Studio patients receive their Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau treatments every 3-4 months to keep skin smooth and prevent new fine lines + wrinkles from forming.

    Should you wish to stop getting treated at any time, you absolutely can! Neurotoxins will gradually fade away over a couple months and skin will return to baseline if you choose to stop treatments.

  • While we do not require a consultation prior to treatment, it is recommended if you have never had a Botox, Dysport, or Jeuveau treatment before or if it’s your first visit at Lush Beauty Studio. This gives us the opportunity to answer any questions, assess your specific concerns and goals, and create the best treatment plan for you!

    • By law, you are not a candidate for any injectables if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    POST-TREATMENT

    • No strenuous exercise for 24 hours following injections.

    • Do not lay down for at least 4 hours after treatment.

    • Do not rub or massage the treated areas.

    • If the forehead was treated, do not wear a hat or headband around the forehead for at least 24 hours.

    • When using skincare or makeup for the first 24-48 hours after treatment, do not put excessive pressure on the treated areas and be sure to apply products using an ‘up and outward’ motion from the center of the face.

    • Headaches can be a common side effect of neurotoxin injections and Tylenol may be used as needed.

SCULPTRA

COLLAGEN STIMULATOR

  • Sculptra is an injectable made up of Poly-L-Lactic Acid, which is a biocompatible and biodegradable substance that has been used for years in medical components, such as dissolvable sutures. Known as a "collagen stimulator," Sculptra is the first facial injectable developed to work deep within the dermis to help replace lost collagen and gradually restore the look of fullness to areas that are most affected by collagen loss.

    What makes Sculptra different than other products is its ability to build facial volume and increase skin thickness gradually, providing the patient with a youthful, natural appearance that can last up to two years.

  • Sculptra differs from a typical HA dermal filler by working gradually. While you may notice subtle improvements immediately after injection, the collagen-building process will continue over the following months, with the most optimal and long-lasting results occurring an average of 3-4 weeks post-treatment.

    Generally, a series of at least 3 vials of Sculptra is recommended; however, a good rule of thumb for determining how many treatments of Sculptra may be needed is 1 vial for every decade of age. For example, a 60-year-old patient may need 6 vials of Sculptra in their treatment series to restore lost volume. Typically, these treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart, but can be spaced out further if necessary.

  • SCULPTRA BOOSTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
    By stimulating your body’s own collagen production, your skin will naturally become firmer, resulting in a more refreshed, youthful appearance.

    SCULPTRA RESTORES VOLUME
    Lost facial fullness and volume will be restored by Sculptra going directly into the deep layers beneath the surface and reinforcing your skin structure.

    SCULPTRA IMPROVES SKIN TEXTURE
    While Sculptra stimulates the collagen deep within the dermis, the results show on the surface layers of your skin. In addition to the volumizing and plumping effects, your skin tone + texture will be smooth and glowing.

    NATURAL LOOKING RESULTS
    Some injectables work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, while others diminish lines and wrinkles by filling in areas. Sculptra works gradually to stimulate your own body’s collagen production, giving you the most natural results. Because of the continuous collagen production, you’ll benefit from these results for anywhere from months to years!

  • PRE-TREATMENT

    • Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment - alcohol may thin the blood and increase risk of bruising.

    • Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for approximately 2 weeks before treatment. Products such as aspirin, vitamin e, omega-3/fish oil supplements, ibuprofen, etc. have a blood thinning effect and can increase risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

    • Be sure to have a good meal prior to your appointment. This will decrease the chances of lightheadedness during your treatment.

    • By law, you are not a candidate for any injectables if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    POST-TREATMENT

    • Avoid strenuous exercise and extensive sun exposure/high temperatures for at least 24 hours after Sculptra treatment.

    • Avoid significant movement or massage of the treated area, unless instructed by the provider.

    • Avoid consuming excessive amounts of alcohol or salts to avoid excess swelling.

    • You may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each our if needed to help with swelling or discomfort.

    • Tylenol may be used as needed for any discomfort after treatment.

KYBELLA

FAT DISSOLVER

  • Kybella is a non-surgical, injectable solution that is used to permanently destroys fat cells under the chin! Fat can accumulate due to aging, weight gain, or genetics. The active ingredient in Kybella is Deoxycholic Acid, which is a naturally occurring molecule found in the body that breaks down and absorbs fats for digestion.

    The fat cells that are destroyed with Kybella do not return, and results should be permanent (except in cases of significant weight gain following treatment).

    No knives. No surgery. No liposuction. Schedule your Kybella appointment at Lush Beauty Studio to see the magic for yourself!

  • Each patient will differ in how many treatments they need depending on how much excess fullness we are treating. In general, the majority of patients need about 2-4 Kybella treatments to see optimal results; however some patients may need up to 6 treatments.

    Kybella is administered about 8-12 weeks apart and you should start to see some noticeable results around 4-6 weeks after treatment.

  • During your Kybella treatment or consultation at Lush Beauty Studio, we will examine your submental fullness to help determine how many treatment sessions you may need.

    A grid-like guideline will be marked on the treatment area and injections will begin! Most patients say the injections feel like a cramping or burning sensation, while others may experience a mild tingling sensation.

    Immediately following your Kybella treatment, the area under your chin will be swollen. The swelling may last anywhere from seven days to two weeks. Every client is different, so it is always possible that swelling may more or less than average.

    Other potential side effects include bruising, pain, numbness, redness, or firmness of the injected area.

  • PRE-TREATMENT

    • Do not consume alcoholic beverages at least 24 hours prior to treatment - alcohol may thin the blood and increase risk of bruising.

    • Avoid anti-inflammatory/blood thinning medications, if possible, for approximately 2 weeks before treatment. Products such as aspirin, vitamin e, omega-3/fish oil supplements, ibuprofen, etc. have a blood thinning effect and can increase risk of bruising and swelling after injections.

    • By law, you are not a candidate for any injectables if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

    POST-TREATMENT

    • Avoid strenuous exercise and extensive sun exposure/high temperatures for at least 24 hours after Kybella treatment.

    • You may apply a cool compress for 15 minutes each hour if needed to help with swelling or discomfort.

    • Tylenol may be used as needed for any discomfort after treatment.
