What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are generally made of hyaluronic acid, which is a substance naturally found in our body. They are popular because they can be dissolved if needed and offer long lasting results.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, leading to firmer, bouncier skin over time.

How it Works
What are Dermal Fillers used for?
If you have lines, wrinkles, or sagging skin that make you look tired, angry, or older than you feel, dermal fillers can help you look more rested, youthful, and rejuvenated. Sometimes called facial fillers, cosmetic fillers, and injectables, these anti-aging injections “plump” areas of the face and neck that have lost volume and elasticity during the aging process. The result is a smoother, firmer, younger look.

How Do Dermal Fillers work?
As we age, we produce less hyaluronic acid, and this results in the wrinkles, folds, and sagging skin you begin to see as you get older. These dermal fillers can restore volume to wrinkles and folds. Because your body already produces hyaluronic acid, these injections are very safe, and no allergy test is necessary.
Typical Filler Treatment
Typical fillers are juvederm, perlane, restyane, teosyal.
The injections include lidocaine, which numbs the treatment area so that you will feel more comfortable when the very fine needle is inserted. For patients that are allergic to lidocaine there are lidocaine free alternatives.
Topical anesthesia is used in the majority of cases to ensure the experience is as pleasant and painfree as possible.
You can expect your appointment to last about 30 minutes.
Recovery Time
Results of Dermal Fillers
You will see gradual improvement after your injections over a period of weeks.They are all hyaluronic acid.
It’s important to note, however, that individual results vary. While the results of dermal fillers are not permanent, neither are haircuts or even surgical facelifts. Fillers provide a more rested, more youthful, and natural look.
