Dermal Fillers
Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, nose, and mouth make you look and feel older than you really are.
Dermal fillers can temporarily smooth facial creases and restore lost volume lost, without the need for surgery.
Why do so many people choose dermal fillers?
Dermal Fillers Can Take Years off Your Appearance
Soften Facial Lines and Wrinkles
As we age, collagen and elastin fibers in the skin break down, which can cause wrinkles and creases to develop. Dermal fillers smooth nasolabial folds and marionette lines for a more youthful appearance.
Enhance Shallow Contours
When we're young, fat is evenly distributed around our face. With age, fat loses volume and shifts downward, causing the cheeks to appear hollow. Dermal fillers can restore fullness to the chin, cheeks, and under the eyes.
Plump Thin Lips
Some people have naturally thin lips, and others experience thinning over time. Dermal fillers can help you achieve a full, plump pout and diminish vertical smile lines around the edges of your mouth.
I've Heard I Need Touch-Ups. How Should I Budget?
Dermal fillers are priced per syringe and generally cost several hundred dollars. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Restylane® and JUVÉDERM® cost on average $644 per syringe and last 6-9 months, while poly-L-lactic acid fillers such as Sculptra® cost about $773 per syringe but last up to 2 years. Some patients need more than one syringe per treatment, so the final treatment cost may vary. Though dermal fillers are not covered by insurance, some doctors offer discounts if you purchase a bundle, and others offer flexible financing options.
Which Is Right for Me?
Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers like RADIESSE® can treat moderate-to-severe creases such as marionette lines, frown lines, and nasolabial folds. Fillers such as JUVÉDERM®, Perlane®, and Restylane® can smooth lines and wrinkles at the corners of the mouth, between the eyebrows, and along the side of the nose. They can also minimize the appearance of acne scars and enhance shallow areas around the face. Poly-L-lactic acid fillers like Sculptra® encourage the production of collagen. This filler works exceptionally well on the lower portion of the face and can be used to add fullness to thin lips as well as smooth deep nasolabial folds.
Fillers Can Enhance Virtually Any Feature
You Deserve to Look the Way You Feel
If you are looking for a more permanent solution, you may consider fat injections. This technique uses fat harvested from another part of the body, which is purified and injected into the face. Keep in mind that fat transfer requires surgery, and the results are less predictable than those of dermal fillers.
When administered by an experienced doctor, dermal fillers can produce completely natural-looking results. Schedule a consultation to discuss your options, and rediscover confidence in your appearance.
