Dermal Filler & Lip Filler

When we refer to fillerswe’re talking about Hyaluronic acid fillers acid (HA) which is a sugary, gel-like substance our body produces naturally. In the skin, HA is key for maintaining a more hydrated, plump and youthful appearance. HA fillers are created from a synthetic gel-like form of HA meant to mimic our own body’s natural HA and restore volume or rejuvenate skin when injected.

The most common types are Hyaluronic acid fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, poly-L-lactic acid fillers, and polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) fillers. Each type serves different purposes, from adding volume and smoothing wrinkles to stimulating collagenproduction for longer-lasting results.

This is one of the safest cosmetic treatments available. For years, dermatologists have been refining the use of fillers to diminish signs of aging. Today, dermatologists safely treat people of many ages and all skin colors.

Most fillers fill the skin, so they produce immediate — or close to immediate — results. A filler also can stimulate your body to produce collagen, but this takes time. 

Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last anywhere from 6 months to 1 year, depending on injection location, technique, and the individual patient’s metabolism. A consultation is the perfect opportunity for us to determine this together.

Most consultations usually take about 20-30 minutes. Our providers take the time to carefully assess your skin concerns, recommend treatments, and develop a skincare plan that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. 

After receiving filler injections, some patients have minor, temporary side effects where they were injected. You may experience some redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising. These side effects tend to clear within a week, if not sooner. 

It's important to remove makeup before getting a filler treatment to ensure that the skin is clean and free from any potential contaminants.
