What Are Dermal Fillers? 

Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment option that can be used to enhance facial features and smooth away the visible signs of aging. There are various types that are used to treat different concerns in various areas. During your initial consultation, it’s important to talk about all your areas of concern, your goals, and your expectations so that our experts can ensure you get the best dermal fillers’ treatment possible.

 

How Do They Work? 

This type of treatment works by treating the underlying causes of aging beneath the skin. However, some work in different ways. Some are used to relax the muscles beneath the skin that contribute to wrinkles, while others plump up and smooth out the skin. This is a safe and effective treatment option that requires no downtime or pain!
 

The Different Types

There are different types of fillers that cater to different areas and concerns.

Restylane

This type of filler can be totally customized to get the look you want. It consists of hyaluronic acid that is able to bind water and other molecules present in the skin together to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles and add volume. This type of injectable treatment is able to give you an overall youthful glow that’s natural and tailored to fit your goals.

Radiesse

This type of injectable filler is used to treat mild to severe wrinkles and folds can also enhance or lift the jaw area or the cheek area. This is a wonderful filler for those looking to add more youthful volume to their face. It is also a great treatment option for those seeking to smooth away deep folds around the nasal area.

Belotero

This type of injectable treatment is great for treating lines and folds around the mouth area. It can smooth away even deeper wrinkles that can form in this region, leaving you looking much younger and refreshed.

Other Options

There are other options available when it comes to injectable filler treatments that can deal with forehead lines, crow’s feet and more!
