DERMAL FILLERS

Chin Filler, Cheek, and Lip Filler, Chin Dimpling, Nasolabial Folds

Dermal fillers are designed to help address volume loss and achieve a smoother appearance. These gel-based substances, primarily composed of hyaluronic acid, are injected beneath the skin to restore areas that have lost volume over time. Commonly treated areas include the temples, under-eyes, cheeks, smile lines, lips, chin, jawline, and hands. By adding volume and enhancing contours, dermal fillers create a more youthful appearance. The longevity of results can vary, with fillers lasting from six months to five years, depending on the product used.

ABOUT DERMAL FILLERS

WHAT IT IS

Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid - the featured ingredient in many moisturizers, and a naturally occurring compound found in skin. Dermal fillers work to restore and plump up soft tissue volume, smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and / or give lips and cheeks a naturally fuller look.

HOW IT WORKS

During your complimentary consultation our nurse injector will evaluate your skin condition, facial structure and your concerns to select the best product for your needs. Filler will then be then injected into your desired treatment area and will add structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Depending on your selected treatment area(s), the procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours (which your injector can better specify prior to booking). Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness may occur. You will see your results immediately and can expect them to last 6-24 months (depending on filler and area).
