Dermal fillers are gel-like, biocompatible substances injected below the skin’s surface. The additional volume of the fillers smooths out fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers restore volume and improve skin tone for a fresher look. They can also enhance and highlight areas such as the cheekbones by plumping them and firming your skin.

Many dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a natural substance that keeps the skin hydrated and lubricated. Some may also contain collagen, another natural component of the body, to assist in tissue repair and support new cell generation. The ingredients in dermal fillers are naturally found in the human body. No recovery time is required after treatment and very little risk of side effects. Dermal fillers are an excellent alternative to more invasive anti-aging procedures.

You can use dermal fillers in various parts of your face for targeted results. Fillers can plump up thin lips, add fullness to your cheeks, eliminate laugh lines, and more. Our aestheticians can help you determine where dermal filler injections will be most effective for your aesthetic goals. Juvéderm, Radiesse, Restylane, and Perlane are among the most popular dermal fillers.
