Although no one wants to look older, you can expect to see signs of aging gradually appear on your face. Two of the most noticeable changes are a loss of facial volume and wrinkles forming on lax skin. To rejuvenate your face, our skin professionals can address these common cosmetic concerns with dermal fillers. Dermal fillers involve a brief and injection of hyaluronic acid (or comparable ingredient) with minimal discomfort into your skin.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Injectable treatments reduce or eliminate lines and wrinkles (mild, moderate, or deep set), especially on the lower face.
As your skin gets thinner and facial fat begins to droop, your face may start to appear gaunt. Dermal fillers can rehydrate and effectively plump your skin so that you achieve fuller facial features.
Areas That Dermal Fillers Can Treat
Dermal fillers are usually used on the mid- and lower face. They are popular for adding fullness to the lips and cheeks to give the face attractive, youthful contours. They also reduce the wrinkles and indentations around the nose and mouth, such as smile lines and marionette lines.
Dermal Filler Treatment Details
During your consultation, you will share your cosmetic concerns, which allows our team to devise a customized treatment plan with the appropriate filler brand, amount, and injection site for addressing those concerns. Just prior to the injection, your skin will be numbed to alleviate the momentary discomfort of an injection. Most fillers now also include lidocaine, an anesthetic for further relief. The entire appointment is quick, allowing you to return to work or your normal schedule immediately.

Dermal Filler Results: How Long Do They Last?
Although dermal fillers produce fast-acting results (with near-immediate volumizing), even better results should develop in the coming weeks as your body generates additional collagen and the dermal filler begins to blend and integrate into the tissue. This collagen helps to provide additional elasticity and smoothness.
The duration of your dermal filler results will differ depending on the type of dermal filler used. Most last between six and 18 months. To maintain your results long term, please schedule periodic touchups.
How Are Dermal Fillers Different from Botox?
Each type of injectable treats a different kind of line and wrinkle. Botox is ideal for dynamic wrinkles (lines that form as a result of muscle movements) like those on the forehead. Dermal fillers are better for static wrinkles, which develop due to volume loss. Our experts can recommend the appropriate injectable option based on your cosmetic needs.
Dermal Filler Costs
The cost for your dermal filler treatment depends on the type of filler used and the amount used to achieve your cosmetic goals. Specific prices are discussed during a consultation. Dermal fillers are not covered by insurance, but financing options are available.
