DERMAL FILLERS
Restore and plump soft tissue to add volume while smoothing the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid - the featured ingredient in many moisturizers, and a naturally occurring compound found in our skin. Dermal fillers work to restore and plump up soft tissue volume, smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and give lips and cheeks a naturally fuller look.
What are they?
During your complimentary consultation, our staff will evaluate your skin, facial structure, and your goals to select the best product for your needs. Filler will then be then injected into the desired treatment area, adding structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface. Results have a natural appearance and treatment is safe with little downtime.
How they work:
Depending on your selected treatment area, the procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Mild swelling, bruising and soreness may occur. Results are immediate and typically last 6-24 months (depending on filler and area).

One of the things that makes dermal fillers so great is there's little downtime. Immediately after the treatment, there may be redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, or itching at or near the injection site. These symptoms are normal and should resolve within a few days. But for this reason we do not recommend scheduling your appointment right before a big event.

Results can be seen immediately after treatment and will improve over the course of 2-3 weeks as the filler integrates with your own tissue. Filler can last anywhere from 6-24 months depending on the filler used and the injection area.
