Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are substances injected beneath the skin to help smooth fine
lines and boost facial volume. Also known as dermal fillers, these injections
are in-office procedures that are minimally invasive alternatives to cosmetic
surgery. Patients often undergo dermal filler injections to achieve a more
youthful appearance with as little downtime as possible. Fillers are available to
target nearly any area of the face, including laugh lines and thin lips.

Dermal Fillers are made of a biodegradable hyaluronic acid, which is a
naturally occurring substance found in all living organisms. Upon being
injected, filler will add natural volume and lift to smooth the wrinkles and folds.
Dermal fillers can last up to 18 months or even past 2 years.
