Dermal Fillers for Wanaque, NJ

A Wanaque name in the story of the nurse practitioner

Loretta Ford, who co-founded the very first nurse practitioner program, is listed among the people closely associated with Wanaque. It is a fitting starting point for this page, because at Montville MedSpa & Pain Center two of the filler injectors are nurse practitioners. Amy Natalicchio, MS, FNP-C, RN and Tanya Santoro, NP-C inject alongside the practice’s founder, Dr. Donna D’Alessio, MD, who is board certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, leads the injector team and supervises every injection.

Matching the gel to the place it goes

Fillers here are mostly FDA-approved hyaluronic acid gels, and they are not interchangeable. A softer gel suits a lip; a firmer, structural one holds a chin. The practice’s own product list pairs them like this:

• Lips: Juvéderm Volbella XC for a subtle change and softer lip lines, Juvéderm Ultra XC for visibly fuller lips.
• Cheekbones: Juvéderm Voluma XC, to bring back height to the midface.
• Chin and jawline: Juvéderm Volux XC, which gives the lower face definition and can bring a receding chin forward.
• Smile lines and the parentheses around the mouth: Juvéderm Ultra Plus XC or Vollure XC.
• Lines that move as you talk: Revanesse Versa and RHA, gels made to flex with expression.

The under-eye hollow, or tear trough, is treated as well, with a fine needle or a blunt cannula, and it is one of the most delicate areas on the list.

Why hyaluronic acid makes a forgiving choice

Hyaluronic acid is a sugar your skin already makes; it holds water, which is why it plumps. Because it is native to the body, an enzyme called hyaluronidase can dissolve it if something ever needs correcting. That safety net is a large part of why these gels are the practice’s default.

How the appointment runs

Numbing cream goes on 15 to 30 minutes ahead, the injections themselves take roughly 20 to 45 minutes, and the area is shaped by hand before you leave. You will see a change straight away; the final look settles over days to two weeks as any swelling goes down. Hands off the treated area for three to six hours, and leave hard exercise for 24 to 48 hours.

The trip down I-287

From Exit 55 in Wanaque, head south to Exit 47 for Route 202 and follow Main Road to number 624, about eleven and a half miles. Expect close to 16 minutes without traffic, which makes a follow-up visit one or two weeks later easy to fit in.

Wanaque patients ask

Is there an age requirement? Yes. The fillers used here are FDA-approved for patients 22 and older.

How long will it last? Most hyaluronic acid fillers last between 6 and 18 months, depending on the product, the area and your own metabolism; lips usually need topping up sooner than cheeks.
