Dermal fillers offer a quick, in-office treatment that restores volume, smooths lines, and refines facial contours so you look rested and confident, not “done.” At Alpenglow Aesthetics, a premier medspa serving the greater Whitefish area, we use advanced hyaluronic acid fillers, including RHA, Juvederm, and Restylane, to create soft, flexible results that move naturally with your expressions.
Restores lost volume, smooths deep folds, and enhances contours.
Most sessions take 30–60 minutes depending on the areas treated.
Minimal; mild swelling or bruising may last 3–7 days.
Visible immediately, with full integration after 2 weeks.
Typically lasts 6–18 months, depending on the product and area.
Your visit starts with a relaxed, detailed conversation about what you see in the mirror and how you want to look from different angles and in different lighting. Your medical provider will study your facial structure, skin quality, and expression patterns, then design a precise injection plan that focuses on the smallest amount of filler needed to give the most natural improvement.
Many fillers contain a built-in anesthetic to keep you comfortable, and topical numbing cream is also available. Using very fine needles or cannulas, your provider places the product in targeted layers to lift, contour, or soften specific areas. Most dermal filler appointments in our Whitefish clinic take about 30 to 60 minutes, and you can typically return to your day right after your visit.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers gently replace or add volume where the face has hollowed, folded, or lost definition. Rather than changing your core features, the goal is to support them so you look rested, softly lifted, and more youthful in a natural way. Fillers like RHA, Juvederm, and Restylane can help with the following:
You leave your appointment seeing a clear, refreshed difference the same day.
Most people feel comfortable returning to work, errands, or social plans right away.
Modern HA fillers integrate with your own tissue for a soft finish that moves with your expressions.
Your provider can use very small amounts for a refined, “people notice you look rested, not injected” result.
HA fillers can be dissolved with an enzyme if you want adjustments or decide to change your look later.
With regular, conservative touch-ups, fillers can help maintain facial structure and volume gradually, instead of waiting for more dramatic aging changes. Our philosophy is to start conservatively and layer slowly over time. It is always easier to add more filler later than to fix an overfilled or unnatural look.
If you have noticed a loss of facial fullness, deepening creases around the mouth, or a desire for more definition in the lips or jaw, you are likely an excellent candidate. We look for patients with realistic expectations who want to enhance their natural beauty. We recommend that patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active skin infections at the injection site wait to receive treatment.
Right after your injections, it is common to notice mild swelling, redness, or tenderness in the treated areas. These temporary changes usually settle over the next few days as the filler integrates with your tissue. Small bruises can appear, especially in delicate areas, and may take up to a week or so to fade completely, so planning around major events is helpful.
You will walk out of Alpenglow Aesthetics seeing a visible difference. However, the final look truly reveals itself after about two weeks, once any minor swelling has subsided and the HA gel has fully integrated with your natural tissues. Your skin will feel smoother, your contours will look more defined, and your overall appearance will be subtly rejuvenated.
Depending on the specific filler used and the area treated, your results can last anywhere from 6 months to nearly 2 years. Fillers in high-movement areas like the lips tend to break down faster, while cheek and jawline fillers often have more longevity. We will help you plan a maintenance schedule to keep your results looking effortless and fresh.
At Alpenglow Aesthetics, our providers prioritize ongoing training and advanced technique. We were among the first practices in Montana to offer RHA fillers, and our team travels regularly for national-level education so you benefit from the latest, safest methods for natural-looking results. Because we work collaboratively, you may see more than one provider during your visit, giving you access to multiple areas of expertise within a single appointment.
Most of the dermal fillers we use (including Juvederm and RHA) are formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic that numbs the area from the inside out during the injection. We also offer topical numbing to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible.
Our goal is the understated lift. We specialize in conservative placements that restore what was lost rather than creating an artificial look. People should notice you look great, but they shouldn't be able to tell why.
RHA (Resilient Hyaluronic Acid) is designed specifically for the dynamic areas of the face—the parts that move when you talk or smile. It is more "elastic" than traditional fillers, allowing it to blend seamlessly into your expressions without looking stiff.
Yes. One of the benefits of using hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be dissolved with a specialized enzyme called hyaluronidase if you ever change your mind or want to adjust your results.
Absolutely. Many of our patients choose to address multiple concerns in one visit. Global rejuvenation with precisely administered dermal filler and Botox is a great way to ensure your entire face looks balanced and refreshed.
To minimize the risk of bruising, we recommend avoiding blood-thinning supplements like fish oil, Vitamin E, and ibuprofen for about a week before your appointment, with your doctor's approval.
