Dermal Fillers
We start losing our fullness naturally over time starting at the age of 20. Over time, bone recedes and we lose fat pads. That loss of volume creates shadows, deep folds, wrinkles and lines in your face. By recreating structure with filler, the skin lays smoother on your face, lifts the skin, decreases sagging and wrinkles disappear.
Volume can be restored to all areas of the face. From chin, temples, cheeks, marionette lines, lip, lip lines, jaw, neck, ear lobes, and buttocks, we have you covered! Using filler to restore volume in precise areas will help you have a more refined, healthy, youthful appearance.
We also offer Radiesse, which is a dermal filler made o smooth calcium hydroylapatite (CaHA) microspheres. This creates a collagen matrix over time to leave your skin looking fuller and smoother than ever!
Traditional uses:
Cheeks: The CHEEKS are the bra of the face! When we lift the cheeks, it improves the facial profile, creating defined balance and improving under eye appearance. Research has shown that our eyes equate youthfulness and beauty with high, full cheekbones!
Nasolabial Folds: These grooves appear at the base of your nose and run to the corner of your mouth. This area can be treated in 2 ways: lift the cheeks! Once this is done, we can reassess and decide if treatment is needed in the actual area.
Lips: Full, plump lips are a sign of youthfulness as well as a refreshed, hydrated lip. Subtle changes can create a refreshed look without changing the structure of your lip. Having trained in many techniques, we can also fix small imperfections, smooth lines, define borders, increase fullness and create lips. Aging dehydrates and shrinks our lips….it happens to all of us but we can fight it!
Hand rejuvenation: Hands can be the quickest area to age because of how thin the skin is. Filler can be used to give them a new life!
FAQ’S
What are dermal fillers made of?
MostDermal filler is a soft gel like material consisting of a naturally occurring sugar molecule called Hyaluronic Acid. This is what most dermal fillers are made of! It is found in our skin and in many products. It is a water loving molecule that draws water towards it creating volume and hydration.
When will I see results?
Depending on the filler used, the results can be see IMMEDIATELY! Often there is swelling, so the first look is not always how it will stay.
How painful are filler injections?
Everyone has a different tolerance. Some have barely felt anything and others feel the pinches. Because of this, when we inject the lips, we apply our strongest numbing cream available on the market. This will help and make the procedure very tolerable. We also use a very small needle as well. Our fillers are pre-mixed with anesthetic (numbing) so it is very tolerable. Cold compresses will be provided for your comfort as well as soothing cream for any swelling or bruising post injection.
Is there anything I should avoid?
You can return to your normal activities however, it is common to have some swelling and bruising so it is suggested to schedule an appointment several days before a big event!
How long do fillers last?
Most fillers last between 8 - 10 months. Duration is also dependent on technique, type, area injected and patient metabolism. But the results? OMG!!
