Facial & Lip Filler

Wrinkle or volume loss filler, nose correction, jaw and cheek bone lift, facial contouring, lip enhancement and correction.

All FDA approved dermal fillers. These are used for volume loss filler, filling in wrinkles, nose correction, jaw and cheekbone lift, facial contouring, and lip enhancement and correction. This is different than Botox which only freezes muscles to stop creases and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. Whereas, dermal fillers use hyaluronic acid and similar substances to “fill in” or plump up areas that have lost volume and smoothness. Hyaluronic acid is a gel like substance found naturally in the body and used to “plump up” skin where volume needs added. Facial fillers fill the troubled areas with collagen which then helps to stimulate collagen growth in the face as well as plump and lift the skin to replace collagen loss. With dermal fillers you see results immediately unlike Botox which can be up to 10-14 days. However, allow 2 weeks for filler to fully settle before making any adjustments.

Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers last from 6 to 12 months and less frequently up to 18 months. The hyaluronic acid fillers are naturally broken down by the body with results fading away without long-term risks. More common side effects are swelling, bruising, pain during procedure, redness, itching or rash. Rare side effects include local infection, leakage of filler through the injection site, granulomas (A type of inflammatory reaction to the filler), nodules around the injection site, and movement of the filler. Dermal filler requires more time for an appointment. Generally, between 30 to 45 minutes depending on location and how many areas are needing to be filled.
