Dermal fillers
Restoring structure and volume for your most youthful look
Dermal fillers are utilized in many ways to increase facial volume or reverse the signs of aging. Dermal fillers are most commonly used to:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases
- Remove wrinkles
- Improve appearance of recessed scars
We offer a wide selection of dermal fillers. Our team of professionals will help you select the best filler for your particular concerns.
Available dermal fillers
Restylane® can be used to add volume and fullness to the skin to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds, such as the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth (nasolabial folds). It may also be used for lip enhancement in patients over 21.
It's effects usually last six (6) to nine (9) months and can be used on any area of the face, including the lips.
JUVÉDERM® XC is a gel filler that instantly smooths away wrinkles around any area of the face. JUVÉDERM® XC is infused with lidocaine to improve comfort during treatment.
Its effects usually last six (6) to nine (9) months and can be used on any area of the face, including the lips.
RADIESSE® is filler that can last up to one year. In addition to the initial results, it also causes collagen stimulation in the treated areas so that with subsequent treatments the filler may last longer.
RADIESSE® is suitable for any area of the face, except for the lips.
Sculptra® is most often used as a volumizer, as it provides a good solution for people who have lost volume in their cheeks. Sculptra® relies almost exclusively on the body's collagen production to cause a more global revolumization of the facial structure and the results develop gradually over the first six months.
It is a longer lasting filler, though, lasting anywhere from one (1) to two (2) years.
Belotero® is an injection that is used to temporarily smooth out and fill in moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds (the lines from your nose to the corners of your mouth).
It's effects last approximately six (6) to nine (9) months.
Your appointment
Prior to your treatment, depending on the type and location of your injection, you will be numbed either with a traditional numbing injection or topic numbing cream. This is strictly for your comfort.
Each appointment will take approximately 45 minutes.
There will likely be swelling after injection, and can last two (2) to seven (7) days. The swelling can be alleviated by using ice packs for 10-15 minutes every hour after injection, for the first day, and as needed beyond.
With any filler injection there can be some bruising, which can be covered with makeup while it fades.
