Restore. Sculpt. Glow.
Physician-administered hyaluronic acid and Sculptra fillers that restore youthful volume, smooth deep lines, and sculpt natural-looking facial contours.
What Is Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore volume, smooth wrinkles and folds, and enhance facial contours. At LifeBoost MD, Dr. Stratt and PA Gabrielle Janney administer FDA-approved hyaluronic acid fillers (Juvederm family) and Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) to address the volume loss and structural changes that occur with aging. Hyaluronic acid fillers work immediately by physically adding volume to the treated area and attracting and retaining water in the tissues. Sculptra works differently — as a biostimulator, it triggers your own fibroblasts to produce new collagen, providing gradual, natural-looking, long-lasting improvement that develops over 3–6 months. Unlike many medical spas where injectors have limited medical training, at LifeBoost MD all aesthetic procedures are performed by medically trained practitioners with a deep understanding of facial anatomy.
Key Benefits
Immediate, Visible Results
Hyaluronic acid fillers produce immediate volumization and line correction that patients can see and appreciate right away.
Natural-Looking Enhancement
Expertly administered fillers enhance your natural features and restore youthful proportions — without looking overdone or artificial.
Long-Lasting Results
Depending on the product and area, results last 6–24 months. Sculptra produces collagen that lasts 2+ years.
Fully Reversible (HA Fillers)
Hyaluronic acid fillers can be dissolved with hyaluronidase if you're ever unhappy with results — giving you complete flexibility.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients experience mild swelling and potential bruising for 3–7 days, after which results are fully visible.
Physician-Level Safety
Filler complications are rare but real. Having an MD administer your injections provides the highest level of safety, precision, and the ability to manage any concerns.

What to Expect
- 1
Aesthetic Consultation
A detailed facial assessment and consultation to understand your aesthetic goals, review your anatomy, and recommend the optimal filler approach.
- 2
Treatment Planning
Dr. Stratt designs a treatment plan specifying product selection (Juvederm, Sculptra, etc.), injection sites, and volumes for natural, harmonious results.
- 3
Topical Numbing
Topical anesthetic is applied to maximize comfort. Most Juvederm products also contain lidocaine for additional anesthesia during injection.
- 4
Precise Injection
Filler is carefully injected using cannulas or needles depending on the area and product. The process typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on the areas treated.
- 5
Post-Treatment Care
Ice is applied immediately. You'll receive specific aftercare instructions including avoiding strenuous activity, excessive heat, and facial pressure for 24–48 hours. Follow-up at 2 weeks to assess results.
Results Timeline
Hyaluronic acid fillers produce immediate results visible within 24–48 hours (after initial swelling subsides). Results last 6–18 months depending on the product and area. Sculptra stimulates gradual collagen production over 3–6 months, with results lasting 2+ years. Lip fillers typically last 6–12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler that adds volume immediately and is reversible. It's ideal for lips, nasolabial folds, cheeks, and under-eyes. Sculptra (poly-L-lactic acid) is a biostimulator — it doesn't add volume directly but stimulates your own collagen production over months, producing more gradual but very long-lasting (2+ year) improvement. They are often used together for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Not when administered by a skilled physician who understands facial anatomy and proportion. The 'overfilled' look is the result of too much product placed incorrectly by undertrained injectors. At LifeBoost MD, our philosophy is subtle enhancement — restoring what age has taken rather than altering your fundamental features.
The most common side effects are swelling, bruising, and tenderness lasting 3–7 days. Rare but serious complications include vascular occlusion. Having a medically trained physician perform your injections significantly reduces risk, as they understand vascular anatomy and can recognize and treat complications immediately.
Lip fillers typically last 6–12 months. The lips are a dynamic area with frequent movement, which metabolizes filler faster than less mobile areas. Touch-up treatments help maintain results.
