Dermafillers
Dermal filler injections are a type of nonsurgical cosmetic procedure. Dermal fillers smooth lines and restore volume in your face. The product is injected just under your skin.
People choose to get dermal fillers to enhance their facial features or gain a more youthful appearance. This elective treatment usually takes less than an hour, and recovery time is minimal. Results are seen right away and last months to years depending on the type of filler and the location.
Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face.
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow’s feet become more apparent.
The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.

- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles

- Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
