INJECTABLE FILLERS

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances made primarily of Hyaluronic Acid that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. Fillers can be injected into various areas such as lips, cheeks, jawline and under eyes. Fillers can cause redness, swelling and/or bruising which may require minimal "aesthetic" downtime but will reveal immediate results lasting 6-12 or 18-24 months dependent on the area being injected.

Fillers can help correct volume loss in these common areas:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Loss of midface volume because of aging
Hollows in the cheeks and temples
Under-eye hollows or tear troughs
Dark circles under the eyes
Loss of lip volume
Lips lacking in volume and fullness
Nasolabial folds around the nose
Marionette lines around the mouth
Perioral lines around the lips
Lack of jawline and chin definition
