Dermal Fillers

Dermal filler injections are a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure in which your doctor injects fillers directly beneath your skin to restore volume to your face, smooth out wrinkles, and plump up lines.

Why Dermal Fillers?

People get dermal fillers to enhance their facial features or gain a more youthful appearance. There is little recovery time after the treatment, typically lasting for a few days. Depending on the type of filler used and the area, results can be apparent immediately and can endure for months or even years.

Fill Wrinkles and Folds - Hyaluronic acid within the fillers can help to fill and smooth the fine lines, making the complexion appear more youthful and healthy.
Adding Facial Volume - As we age, we naturally lose volume in the face due to a decrease in collagen and fat. Dermal fillers can help restore this lost volume instantly, creating a more vibrant, refreshed look.
Correct Depressions and Hollows - Filling depression or hollow areas, such as under-eye throughs and temple hollows.
Plump the Lips - Hyaluronic acid injections can enhance the volume and fullness of the lips
