Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle. Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery.

The Procedure

All fillers are administered in the office either with topical anesthesia or with an injectable anesthesia.

What dermal fillers can do:

• Plump thin lips

• Enhance shallow contours

• Soften facial creases and wrinkles

• Improve the appearance of recessed scars

• Reconstruct contour deformities in the face

• Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids

What dermal fillers can't do:

For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the best approach. Minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging and that ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results.

Injectables

We offer a variety of neurotoxins and dermal fillers that help to instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, like your smile lines or parentheses.

Neurotoxins are injectable proteins that aid in the relaxation of muscles that cause wrinkles when contracted from facial expression.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected below the surface of the skin to help restore volume loss, smooth out and plump fine lines and wrinkles and enhance the natural contours of the face.

All injections are administered by state-licensed specialists.
