You want to look refreshed, not like you've had work done.
At pureSKIN & Wellness, that's exactly the philosophy we're built on. Founder Meleah Johnston, NP-C, has spent 20+ years in clinical dermatology and aesthetics developing a conservative, results-first approach to filler injections. The goal is never "more." It's a subtler, more rested version of you, with your facial structure, your features, your expression still fully intact.
You've Seen What Can Go Wrong. We Have Too.
Overfilled lips. Puffy cheeks. A face that doesn't quite move the way it used to. When filler is placed incorrectly, or too much is injected, the results are hard to miss.
It's why so many people in Franklin hesitate. They want the results. They're not sure they can trust the person holding the needle.
That hesitation makes complete sense. The aesthetics industry is saturated with injectors who've had a weekend course and an Instagram following. Your face deserves more than that. You deserve a provider who understands facial anatomy at a clinical level, knows when to say "that's enough," and still thinks about your results six months from now.
That's the standard we hold ourselves to at pureSKIN. No pressure to add more. No upsell during your treatment. Just a thoughtful, personalized plan for your face.
What Are Dermal Fillers, and Are They Right for You?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid, a substance your body produces naturally, designed to restore volume, smooth lines, and add definition to the face. Because they're made from hyaluronic acid, they're fully reversible with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if you're ever unhappy with the result.
Common treatment areas include:
- Lips. Adding natural fullness and definition without the "duck lip" effect
- Cheeks. Restoring lifted, youthful volume to the mid-face
- Tear troughs. Softening the hollow under the eye
- Jawline and chin. Improving structure and contour
- Temples and mid-face. Correcting hollowing that can add years to your appearance
What Makes pureSKIN Different for Filler Treatments in Franklin
Our team brings a level of clinical depth that's rare in the aesthetics world.
Founder Meleah Johnston, NP-C, FNP-C, built pureSKIN on a foundation of nearly a decade in medical and cosmetic dermatology, with roots in the Vanderbilt Burn ICU and plastic surgery unit. Jess McNeil, NP-C, and Dani Reynolds, RN, BSN, carry that same clinical standard into every treatment room. These aren't weekend-course injectors. They're nurses and nurse practitioners with real clinical backgrounds who chose aesthetics because they love the work.
The philosophy across our entire team: conservative placement, natural movement, results that last. We don't fill to a "look." We study your face, your anatomy, and your goals, and treat accordingly.
Every provider at pureSKIN is held to the same standard. Same approach. Same commitment to not overdoing it. The person you see at your consultation is the same one thinking about your results six months from now.
We use FDA-cleared hyaluronic acid fillers, the gold standard in the industry, and apply topical numbing cream and calming techniques to keep your experience comfortable from start to finish.

What Life Looks Like After Dermal Fillers at pureSKIN
The most common thing patients say after their treatment at pureSKIN? They didn't realize how much they'd been noticing the change until it was corrected.
Volume loss and hollow areas are subtle until they're not. Restoring them naturally, without overdoing it, tends to produce that effect: people notice you look well. Not that you've had something done.
Patients consistently tell us they feel:
- More confident in photos and in person, without looking "worked on"
- Rested even when they're tired
- Defined, especially in the jawline, chin, and lip border areas that soften over time
- Like themselves again, the version they remember from five or ten years ago
Because pureSKIN uses hyaluronic acid fillers, results are also fully reversible. If you ever want to adjust or dissolve the filler, we can do that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most hyaluronic acid fillers last between 8 and 18 months, depending on the specific product, the area treated, and how your body metabolizes it. Some areas, like the lips, tend to metabolize filler more quickly than areas like the cheeks or jawline.
Botox (and similar neuromodulators like Dysport) work by relaxing muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, lines formed by movement like smiling or squinting. Fillers restore volume and structure. Many patients in Franklin benefit from both treatments, and our team can help you understand which is the right fit, or whether a combination approach makes the most sense for your goals.
Most patients experience some swelling and potential bruising for a few days. We recommend giving yourself at least one week before any major events. Most people return to normal activities the same day.
