DERMAL FILLERS

About Dermal Fillers:

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance natural facial features. They're especially popular for areas like the cheeks, lips, jawline, and around the mouth and nose; but can even be used to restore volume in other areas like hands and necklace lines.

Most fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA)- a substance that naturally occurs in your skin and helps keep it hydrated and plump. Fillers work by adding volume beneath the skin's surface, creating a softer, more youthful appearance almost instantly. While Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA by Revance are a few of the most well-known brands, there are several trusted options available. Each filler is slightly different in texture and how long it lasts. During your consultation, we'll recommend the best product for your unique needs and treatment goals.

Filler treatments typically take about 30-45 minutes, and results are visible right away. With minimal downtime, you can enjoy a refreshed look that still feels and looks like you.
