Natural Volume
Welcome to Scout Aesthetics in Louisville, Kentucky, where Jennifer Fick, DNP, and her team of Scout injectors specialize in providing hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm. As you age, volume loss in your face can contribute significantly to the signs of aging. Jennifer Fick, DNP's motto is that the best filler is undetectable, and her goal is not to change your appearance but to enhance your natural features. By injecting dermal fillers conservatively in the correct area and depth, the Scout team can restore natural facial contours for a refreshed, more youthful appearance. A customized treatment plan may address areas such as the cheeks, lips, jawline, under eyes, mid-face, chin, and smile lines.
The Right Formula for You
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are a popular choice for achieving soft, natural-looking results. Hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the body, and HA fillers gradually break down over time, with longevity varying by product, treatment area, and individual factors.
Selecting the appropriate filler depends on factors such as the treatment area, the concern being addressed, and your desired outcome. Juvederm and Restylane offer a range of HA fillers designed for different needs. Jennifer Fick, DNP, or one of the Scout injectors can recommend the most suitable dermal filler based on your anatomy, goals, and treatment plan.
Enhance Your Contours
Hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers have gained immense popularity in the cosmetic industry due to their remarkable benefits. HA fillers not only add volume to the skin but also improve its texture and decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The significant advantage of these fillers is that they exist naturally in the body, making them biocompatible and reducing the risk of allergic reactions.
HA fillers can provide long-lasting improvement, although longevity varies by product and treatment area. They can restore volume, soften lines, and enhance facial contours with minimal downtime. For patients interested in addressing multiple areas together, facial balancing may also be incorporated into a personalized treatment plan.

Add Volume
If you have a fear of needles, we have you covered with topical numbing cream and other comfort measures to make your treatment more comfortable.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are administered through a needle or cannula. Many fillers are formulated with lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to help improve comfort during treatment. A dermal filler appointment typically takes about 30-60 minutes, including numbing time, depending on the areas being treated.
Radiant and Youthful
The duration of results from hyaluronic acid dermal fillers such as Restylane and Juvederm varies depending on the specific product used, the individual's metabolism, the injection site, and other factors. Generally, the effects of these dermal fillers can last anywhere from 6 months to 18 months or longer. In areas with a lot of facial movements, such as the lips, the duration may be shorter, while in areas with less movement, such as the cheeks, the duration may be longer.
Additionally, the individual's age, skin type, and lifestyle factors, such as smoking and sun exposure, can affect how long the results last. It's important to note that the results of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are temporary, and the body will eventually absorb the filler. To maintain the results, follow-up treatments are usually needed.
Smoother and Plumper
For optimal results and smooth recovery after a filler treatment, it's essential to follow some pre- and post-treatment guidelines. Before the treatment, plan and schedule it at least two weeks before any major events to allow the swelling and bruising to subside. Avoid dental work and immunizations two weeks before or after the treatment. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours since it can worsen bruising. Also, avoid blood-thinning products such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and specific vitamins for three days before and after the treatment to prevent additional bruising.
Finally, discontinue alcohol, niacin, caffeine, and cigarettes 24 hours before your appointment. Following these guidelines can help minimize discomfort and bruising. After treatment, avoiding high-intensity physical activity, other facial treatments, or dental procedures for the recommended period can help support a smooth recovery. Your injector will provide aftercare instructions specific to your treatment.
We primarily work with the Juvederm and Restylane collections of hyaluronic acid fillers and can help you select the formulation that best fits your needs. The product selected depends on the treatment area, your facial anatomy, skin quality, and your goals. A consultation with Jennifer Fick, DNP, or one of the Scout injectors can help determine the most appropriate option for you.
Dermal filler longevity varies by product, treatment area, metabolism, and other individual factors. Many hyaluronic acid fillers last approximately six to 18 months, with maintenance treatments scheduled as needed.
Dermal fillers can be used to restore volume and improve contour in areas such as the cheeks, chin, jawline, under-eye area, smile lines, and other areas affected by facial volume loss. The best treatment areas depend on your anatomy, concerns, and overall aesthetic goals.
Many patients notice added volume or improved contour immediately after treatment. Temporary swelling can affect the initial appearance, so the result typically becomes easier to evaluate as swelling settles over the following days.
Dermal filler treatment generally involves minimal downtime, although swelling, tenderness, redness, or bruising can occur around the injection sites. Your injector will provide specific aftercare instructions and guidance about when to resume exercise and other activities.
The amount of filler needed varies significantly from person to person. Your injector will consider your facial anatomy, degree of volume loss, treatment areas, and desired level of correction before recommending an appropriate amount.
Hyaluronic acid filler can often be reduced or dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase when clinically appropriate. Scout Aesthetics also offers filler dissolver treatment for patients who need assessment or correction of existing HA filler.
Dermal fillers add or restore volume beneath the skin, while Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity that contributes to expression lines. Depending on your concerns, one treatment may be more appropriate than the other, or they may be used together as part of a broader aesthetic plan.
