Fillers Dermal Fillers
As you age, your body starts to lose collagen. Collagen is an important substance that exists all over your body, including in your skin, muscles, bones, and connective tissues. Decreased amounts of collagen in your skin causes skin laxity (loose) and loss of volume. Skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity, and starts to sag.
You may choose to get dermal fillers to:
- Add volume to sagging skin.
- Make your facial features more symmetrical.
- Plump up lips and cheeks.
- Smooth wrinkles and creases on your face.

How does it work?
Many people see the results of dermal fillers right away, which is exciting. The injections usually take less than an hour. Because it’s a nonsurgical treatment, recovery time is minimal.
After receiving dermal filler injections, your injector will cleanse your skin and give you an ice pack to ease any discomfort and swelling. Bruising can occur and generally subsides in a couple of days.
Depending on the type of filler, results can last months or even years. Some fillers work for more than two years. Dermal fillers are also typically less expensive than elective surgical procedures. When we meet, we will go over the filler that I recommend and explain why for your treatment area(s).
