What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume and fullness to the skin, typically

to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They can also be used to enhance facial

contours, such as the cheeks and lips. Some common types of dermal fillers include

hyaluronic acid and collagen. The effects of dermal fillers are generally temporary, lasting

anywhere from several months to a year or more.

What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

We are often asked about the various benefits that dermal fillers offer. . Here are just a few examples of the benefits of dermal fillers:

1. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: Dermal fillers can be used to

smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the face, making the skin look more youthful.

2. Enhancing facial contours: Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the cheeks, jawline,

and other facial features, giving the face a more defined and sculpted appearance.

3. Plumping the lips: Dermal fillers can be used to add volume to the lips, making them

look fuller and more defined.

4. Improving skin texture: Dermal fillers can also be used to improve the overall texture

and tone of the skin, giving it a more youthful and radiant appearance.

5. Non-surgical: Dermal fillers are non-surgical and minimally invasive, and typically

involve only a few injections.

6. Little to no downtime: There is usually little to no downtime after a dermal filler

treatment, and most people are able to return to their normal activities

It’s important to note that the results of dermal fillers are typically temporary, lasting

anywhere from several months to a year or more. The treatment can be repeated as desired

to maintain the desired effect.
