Who Administers Your Dermal Fillers Matters: Here's Why

If you’re considering dermal fillers for the first time, you’re not alone. About 1 million people receive dermal fillers each year, and there’s little wonder why: With results that last six months to two years, dermal fillers are an easy, nonsurgical way to refresh your appearance.

The decision to try dermal fillers may come easy, but who administers your fillers isn’t a decision to take lightly. It significantly impacts your results, safety, and overall satisfaction. 

If you’re thinking about dermal fillers, you can trust our aesthetic experts here at RefineU Med Spa in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

The ideal injector:

Is a cosmetic specialist

It’s not uncommon to see a variety of medical practices add dermal fillers to their suite of services. But at RefineU Med Spa, aesthetics isn’t an add-on; it’s our specialty.

Do you want fuller lips, or maybe you’re looking to combat fine lines? Your RefineU Med Spa injector takes time to discuss your aesthetic goals before administering dermal fillers. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for dermal fillers.

You want an experienced injector who can recommend the right type of dermal filler for you. You might even find your ideal plan combines dermal fillers and other aesthetic treatments, such as Botox® injections.

Has advanced knowledge and training 

Experienced and well-trained injectors understand facial anatomy, skin physiology, and the best injection techniques. We assess your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals to determine the most appropriate filler type, volume, and placement for natural-looking results. 

Delivers quality results

Your aesthetic injector's skill level directly influences the quality of your results. A skilled injector can achieve subtle enhancements that complement your natural features, while inexperienced injectors may produce unnatural or uneven outcomes.

Prioritizes safety and manages risk

Dermal filler injections carry inherent risks, including bruising, swelling, infection, and rare but serious complications such as vascular occlusion or tissue necrosis. According to a 2023 study, most people learn about fillers from social media and might not be fully aware of the risks.

Under the leadership of Natasha Knowlton, DO, our team understands how to mitigate these risks through proper injection techniques, sterile procedures, and prompt management of any adverse reactions.

Uses only high-quality products 

Reputable injectors, like those here at RefineU Med Spa, use only FDA-approved dermal fillers from trusted manufacturers. They don’t compromise on the quality, safety, and authenticity of the products used in your treatment. 

Our team offers Juvéderm®, Restylane®, and Sculptra® dermal fillers.

Develops a long-term partnership with you

The effects of dermal fillers aren’t permanent and typically last several months to a year, depending on the type of filler used and individual factors, such as your metabolism. 

Our team doesn’t just administer dermal fillers and send you on your way; we offer personalized guidance on maintenance treatments, skin care routines, and lifestyle factors (like skin-friendly dietary modifications) to prolong the results of your treatment.
