Dermal Filler in Spokane Valley

The filler used at Luminess Lounge is Juvederm, an FDA-approved dermal filler. It is supplied as a sterile injectable gel and placed beneath the skin to add volume or support. No other filler brand is used here.

Filler can be used in several areas of the face, hands and neck. Each is described briefly below, with a link to its own page. Not every area is appropriate for every patient — that is assessed in person.

Dermal filler is not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding. It is not appropriate over an active skin infection or inflammation at the site. Patients with a history of severe allergic reactions should discuss filler before treatment, and anyone with a known allergy to the product or its components should not have it.

It is also worth saying plainly: filler cannot substitute for a surgical result. There is a point at which more filler stops improving a face and starts changing it, and knowing where that point is is a clinical judgment, not a customer-service one. Being told no — or being told that less is more — is part of what a patient is paying for. The consultation is where that conversation happens.

This may not be right for you if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• You have an active skin infection or inflammation at the treatment site.
• You have a history of severe allergic reactions.
• You have a known allergy to dermal filler products.
• What you want is a result that filler alone cannot produce, or that would require more filler than is appropriate.

Keanna evaluates you — in person or via face-to-face telehealth, whichever suits you. She takes your medical history, examines your face, and talks through what you want and what is and isn’t appropriate for you. She decides whether filler is the right approach — and if it is, which areas, how much, and which product. You are told the cost before anything is done, and you are told what to expect afterward and how to reach the practice if something concerns you.

If you go ahead, the filler is placed based on your anatomy and the structure being supported or restored. The goal is what suits your face, not the most filler that can be used.

Swelling, bruising and tenderness are common and can last several days. Lumps or unevenness can occur and are usually addressed at a follow-up. These are the things you are told about before treatment, not after.

Rare but serious complications exist, including injection into or compression of a blood vessel. That is why filler is a medical treatment performed by a qualified clinician after an assessment and not a beauty service. You are given aftercare instructions and a way to reach the practice if something concerns you.

For filler, cost depends on how many syringes you need and which product is used. How many syringes a person needs depends on the area, the amount of volume loss, and the result they are trying to achieve — and it varies a great deal between people. Anyone quoting you a number before seeing your face is guessing.

You will be given the cost before anything is done. Consultation fees, where they apply, are not credited toward the cost of treatment. Read more about what it costs →
