Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, leading to sagging and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers help to address these concerns by replenishing volume and providing structural support to the skin. Most dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and adds volume. Others, such as Radiesse, contain calcium hydroxylapatite, which not only provides immediate volume but also stimulates the body’s natural collagen production for longer-lasting results.
The goal of dermal fillers is to enhance your natural beauty, not to change your appearance. When administered by a skilled practitioner, fillers provide subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your features without looking “overdone.”
Certain fillers, like Radiesse, have the added benefit of promoting collagen production, which can enhance the overall texture and elasticity of your skin over time.
Dermal fillers can be used to enhance volume and contour for a fuller appearance.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the injections, often described as a slight pinching sensation. To ensure maximum comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the procedure, minimizing any discomfort during the injections.
