As we age, our skin loses volume and elasticity and we produce less collagen and elastin.  Dermal fillers are used to restore volume and fullness in the face as well as diminish facial lines.

 

Dermal fillers can be used in multiple areas around the face including around the eye, cheeks, chin, and lips to restore lost volume, smooth fine line and reveal a more youthful appearance.

 

Dermal fillers are soft, gel-like substances that are injected under the skin.  Most dermal fillers are mixed with lidocaine to minimize discomfort during treatment. 

 

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is one of the most common compounds used in dermal fillers. HA is a naturally occurring substance found in our skin and its role is to volumize and keep our skin hydrated.
