As we age, our faces start to lose their youthful plumpness. The flatter, more lined and wrinkled appearance is due to loss of collagen. Do we have to accept this, or is there something that can be done to revive skin around the eyes, nose, lips and cheeks? Facial fillers such as Restylane® and JUVÉDERM® have stood the test of time, both having been approved by the US FDA for over twenty years. Plus, RHA®, approved in the US by the FDA a few years ago, provides even more options, including treatment of dynamic wrinkles.
In addition to reviewing average costs, which can vary widely, we’ll discuss what to look for when choosing a provider. We’ll share some criteria for choosing your injectable treatments specialist in Atlanta, including professional qualifications and patient care principles.
People today are active decades longer than they were just a few years ago. They want to combine feeling great with looking great. Pele Aesthetics understands this positive approach to an active lifestyle, and we welcome you to our Marietta, GA clinic, located just north of Atlanta.
To fulfill the needs of active people who want nonsurgical, straightforward ways to rejuvenate their appearance, we offer fillers such as Restylane®1, JUVÉDERM®2, and RHA®3. They revitalize facial areas by adding volume and boosting elastin and collagen production levels that go down with age. They’re a minimally invasive way to restore shape, contours and plumpness with no downtime and little if any redness and swelling.
Pele Aesthetics has served many clients in and around the Atlanta area. While there is no “cut-off age” for treatments, usually over 21 is the starting age for these injectables. Your Pele Aesthetics medical team will consult with you to determine your best course of treatment.
The price is quite variable for RHA®, JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® treatments in Atlanta; a quick online search has them widely ranging from $500-$800 per treatment, or more. Low prices may be a sign of counterfeit products. Specials can be enticing, but continuous offerings featuring deep discounts may signal that something is off. Compare versus Atlanta providers to get a feel for what the average is, and why the procedures are priced as they are (what’s included in each treatment).
All three brands are effective, FDA-approved, hyaluronic acid-based fillers, but they differ in their formulation and ideal use cases.
Feature | RHA® Fillers | JUVÉDERM®& Restylane® (Traditional HA Fillers) |
Primary Use | Dynamic wrinkles (move with expression) | Static wrinkles (visible at rest) & volume loss |
Formulation | Minimal chemical cross-linking; closer to natural HA | More cross-linking, providing structure and longevity |
Flexibility | Highly flexible and resilient, adapts to movement | More cohesive/structured; can appear stiffer in highly dynamic areas |
Longevity | Up to 15 months (on average) | Typically, 6 to 12 months for most products; some specialized fillers can last up to 18–24 months |
Biocompatibility | May result in less swelling for some patients due to “cleaner” formula | Highly effective and well-tolerated, with varied swelling potential across products |
If you’re learning about dermal fillers, you can review the following example success stories that illustrate how these treatments can restore not only appearance, but boost confidence and self-esteem. These examples are for illustrative purposes. It’s recommended that you consult with Pele Aesthetics for a personalized consultation.
A mid-30s woman noticed that lipstick faded unevenly on her thin lips. This made her self-conscious, and she wondered why her lips were getting thinner. At her clinic consultation, she learned that she was a good candidate for an RHA® treatment. The provider explained how the hyaluronic acid filler would provide a gentle lift to the lips. The woman looked forward to getting back the shape of her lips again.
The procedure used fine needles for precise injections. Only minimal swelling occurred, and it went away quickly with no downtime. Afterward, her lips appeared fuller and more balanced. She could smile and apply lipstick with confidence again.
A 50-year-old man experienced sagging cheeks and persistent forehead lines. The man hoped he could get back his old appearance, and he learned from the clinic’s team that he could likely get much of the facial volume back, and also get his wrinkles reduced, too. He opted for a combined Restylane® and RHA® treatment. The aesthetician detailed how RHA® would enhance cheek volume. Restylane® would be used in a targeted application to treat forehead wrinkles.
The procedure, completed in under an hour, involved precise injections for both areas. Weeks later, the patient’s face appeared more sculpted and had a calmer appearance, with improved definition and a friendlier expression. The man was delighted to see his old self back again.
You will learn about your particular procedure when you consult with your doctor or aesthetician. Most filler treatment appointments are only 30–60 minutes. The treatment area will be numbed (if using RHA®, it does have lidocaine included, but consult with your provider, who may also apply additional numbing cream). As per your consultation, the filler will be injected. Several injections are often administered to complete the treatment.
You should see immediate results, and these can last up to a year; sometimes more. Additional treatments are required to maintain the volumized appearance. That’s because the body will break down and absorb the filler over time.

As recommended by many industry-leading organizations, including the American Board of Facial Cosmetic Surgery, people interested in receiving facial filler treatments can benefit most by choosing a licensed and experienced provider6. In Atlanta, there are many spas and clinics that offer injectable fillers, but choosing a board-certified professional to administer your injectables is the gold-standard. It’s important to ensure that your injector has the required experience to safely and effectively perform the treatment.
In Georgia, dermal filler injectors must be licensed by the state and have specialized training7. A provider’s professional credentials also signify their commitment to maintaining high standards of care.
