FILLERS
The slk difference: best fillers in nashville & chattanooga
The technique of filler injection was invented and mastered in Europe, and perfected in Asia. The latest advancements in filler techniques continue to be pioneered overseas, and our clinical experts at SLK continue to master these skills to bring you the best fillers in Nashville and Chattanooga.
All SLK nurses and nurse practitioners are trained in advanced filler techniques from around the globe; such as specialized cheek filler, lip filler and under eye filler. All of our injectors are both naturally artistic and experts on facial anatomy and its 3-dimensional structure. Depending on the individual, we may use a custom combination of fillers, including Juvederm, Belotero, Restylane and Radiesse.
WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS AND HOW DO THEY WORK?
Collagen is a natural protein that helps keep our skin looking plump and youthful. But as we age, collagen production slows down, and our skin starts to show signs of aging, such as wrinkles and sagging.
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected under the skin to restore the skin’s collagen layer, smoothing out wrinkles and lines immediately. Fillers are also often used to add volume to the lips and cheeks, and can enhance facial contours

Frequently Asked Questions About Fillers
Before a treatment, you will receive a free facial analysis to determine the best filler for you and your goals. After our consultation, you will know what product we recommend, how many syringes of filler it will take to achieve your goals, and how much your treatment will cost.
The session begins with a numbing cream applied to the treatment area for the patient’s comfort. Fillers contain an anesthetic in their formulas that begin to desensitize nerve-endings immediately upon the first injection. From there, the rest of the series of small injections may feel like tiny pinches. The filler injections take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
Once all injections have been administered, you will see the results instantly. There may be slight redness or swelling at the treatment area. This usually subsides within a couple hours. One of the benefits of fillers is that there is minimal downtime, so you can resume most of your daily activities immediately. We recommend avoiding makeup for 12 hours and avoiding exercise for 24 hours following treatment.
Yes, one of the benefits of filler is that you can see instant results after your treatment. The best results of dermal fillers are seen typically 1 to 2 weeks post treatment when the swelling and bruising has dissipated.
There is a variable range of how long the fillers last, depending on the specific type of filler used and how quickly your body metabolizes them. Certain fillers can last between 6 months to 1 year while others can last up to 2 or 3 years. Once your body metabolizes fillers, they are naturally eliminated and your face returns to its pre-injection appearance. The lifespan of the filler that is right for you will be determined during your filler treatment consultation with our expert aesthetic consultants.
Dermal fillers do not cause the skin to stretch or sag once the filler naturally dissolves. Dermal fillers replace the volume that was already present beneath the skin, not stretch it. Therefore, when the filler is metabolized over time, the skin will return to its original state.
The pricing of filler depends on the type of filler that’s right for you and amount needed for your aesthetic goals.
