Dermal fillers are safe, gel-like injectable substances that smooth creases, fine lines, and wrinkles to rejuvenate your skin and add volume and fullness to your face. Dermal fillers can be used to enhance your lips, fill your cheeks, straighten out your jawline, soften grooves underneath your eyes, and many other cosmetic alterations to reduce the visible effects of aging. Dermal fillers do not fill in wrinkles but rather add volume to the desired area in order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in your skin.
FDA-approved dermal fillers can last between six to 12 months before fading and requiring another injection. The lifespan and overall effectiveness of your dermal filler treatment depend on your physiological makeup which is why we recommend consulting your doctor before beginning treatment.
Most dermal fillers last between six and 12 months before they are absorbed back into the skin and the results start to fade. Typically, most FDA-approved dermal fillers are also infused with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment. Injecting cosmetic dermal fillers only takes a short amount of time to complete, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

Cheek / Midface
Our cheeks and mid-face look older when we have a flat, shadowy appearance due to weak bones or volume loss in the cheeks. An injection of cheek filler can help make your face appear more firm and supported. We will never create exaggerated angles or chipmunk cheeks. The results will appear perfectly natural.
Lower Face / Around the Mouth
The lower face can be rejuvenated by fillers, which fill in fine lines around the mouth and lift the corners of the mouth. Your filler treatment will be completely tailored to your needs and desires.
Temples
What is the purpose of filler in the temples? Age causes our temples to become concave (sunken in) and shrink in volume. We can restore temple volume with fillers to give the entire upper face and eye area a more youthful and rested appearance.
Under the Eyes (Tear Troughs)
Under-eye fillers work to reduce hollows and shadows under the eyes. You will look refreshed and less tired by smoothing this area with filler. Under-eye treatment is most commonly combined with cheek filler to create the most natural, transformative result.
Smile Lines (Nasolabial Folds)
Over time, smile lines and nasolabial folds (the crease between the tip of the nose and the corner of the mouth) may become deeper and more visible. Filler softens shadows and reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the tissue. The treatment is most commonly used in conjunction with cheek filler to give a more youthful appearance without looking puffy or overfilled.
Lip Plump
A very popular treatment! Whether you want subtle volume or a significantly fuller look, we’ll keep them looking natural. We will assess your lip tissue during your visit and determine the best strategy for you.
Lip Hydrate
Lip fillers don’t have to give you big lips! With Lip Hydrate, soft, flexible fillers are used to rehydrate lips and restore shape without adding volume. This treatment is often used to reduce the appearance of lip lines.
Chin Area
Injectable fillers in the chin enhance the face’s youthful appearance by giving it structure, definition, and balance. Having a weak chin structure can be genetic or an effect of age-related volume loss.
Jawline / Jowls
Dermal fillers may be used to improve the appearance of the jawline and reduce the appearance of jowls. The upper and midface are usually treated before the jawline. It usually requires several syringes to treat the jawline.
Dissolve Unwanted Filler
Did you get a lousy filler job or change your mind? Fillers placed incorrectly or unevenly are removed with an enzyme called hyaluronidase. Mistakes do happen, but we can fix them!
