How it works
Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers can aid in the improvement of the most common signs of facial aging including the visibility of bony landmarks, skin wrinkles, deep furrows, “smoker’s lines” and thinning of the lips. Addition of a dermal filler softens the creases, smoothens out wrinkles and returns volume to areas where the fatty tissue is lost.
Who Would Benefit
Dermal Fillers
Injectable facial fillers are great options to improve certain aging signs in individuals who are not looking for a remarkable physical change, but rather to appear more rested and confident. Fillers provide more “real-time” results, not characterized by extensive swelling and prolonged recovery periods found in more invasive surgical procedures.
Treatment Process
Dermal Fillers
A topical numbing agent is applied to areas of the face intended for injection. A fine needle is inserted into the treatment area for the desired correction. Individuals typically report minimal discomfort. Time of the procedure is specific to each individual’s treatment plan. Results are instantaneous.
