Injectables & Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers: Restore volume to cheeks, lips, and other areas for a fuller, more youthful look.

During the procedure
We will work with you to determine the best type of treatment to achieve your desired results. Injectables for your face only take a few minutes and don’t require anesthesia. Each treatment reduces wrinkles and fine lines on your face.
For forehead wrinkles
Forehead wrinkles develop when the frontalis muscle in your forehead repeatedly contracts—an action that occurs when you raise your eyebrows. Injectables for forehead wrinkles relaxe this muscle, softening forehead wrinkles and preventing future wrinkle lines from developing.
For crow’s feet
Crow’s feet develop when the orbicularis oculi muscle in your eyelids repeatedly contracts—an action that occurs when you close your eyes. Injectables for crow’s feet relax this muscle, softening wrinkles around your eyes and preventing future wrinkle lines from developing.
For hooded eyes
Hooded eyes have various causes, including strong depressor muscles in your forehead—which pull your eyebrows and eyelids down. Injectables to lift your brow and improve hooded eyes relax these depressor muscles, allowing the elevator muscles to naturally raise your eyebrows.
For lip lines
Lip lines develop when the orbicularis oris muscle around your lips repeatedly contracts—an action that occurs when you pucker your lips. Injectables for lip lines relax this muscle, softening lines around your mouth and preventing future lines from developing.
For frown lines
Frown lines develop when the muscles between your eyes repeatedly contract—an action that occurs when you frown. Injectables for frown lines relax these muscles, softening lines between your eyes and preventing future lines from developing.

For under eyes and in eye troughs
Dermal fillers for dark circles can improve under eye circles by increasing under eye volume. Dermal fillers for under eyes and in eye troughs is a preferred way to treat eye volume loss—a cosmetic condition caused by genetics, lack of fat under your eyes, or thin lower eyelid skin. This is a non-surgical alternative to eyelid surgery and should last for a year.
For marionette lines
Dermal fillers for marionette lines can soften age-related lines that stretch from the corners of your mouth to your chin. Because it boosts collagen production, the filler treatment is a preferred way to reduce marionette lines and results may last for up to a year.
For cheeks
Cheek filler helps to contour and add volume to your cheek area. Because it boosts collagen production, dermal filler treatment is a preferred way to reduce signs of aging in your face, with results lasting up to 18 months.
For smile and laugh lines (nasolabial folds)

For forehead wrinkles
Dermal fillers for forehead wrinkles can reduce fine lines, soften deep wrinkles, and replace lost volume—all signs of aging. Treating forehead wrinkles using dermal fillers is a non-surgical facelift approach and may last for 18 to 24 months.
For lip lines (“smoker’s lines”)
Using dermal fillers around your mouth can effectively smooth the appearance of fine “smokers” lines, fill furrows, and replace lost volume—all signs of aging. Because it boosts collagen production, this filler treatment is a preferred way to improve noticeable lip lines for up to 18 months.
For jaw slimming
By replacing lost fat pads just below the surface of the skin—a sign of aging—dermal fillers allow you to restore contours, thus slimming your jaw. This non-surgical facelift approach may last for 12 to 18 months.
After the procedure
For fine lines and shallow wrinkles, you’ll notice improvements within a week of your injections. For harsher lines and deeper wrinkles, it may take over two weeks to see results. Because injectables are a temporary solution for cosmetic concerns, you’ll need ongoing treatments to maintain your results.
For dermal fillers, patients often notice results immediately, though it can take up to two weeks for the filler to settle. Side effects include pain, firmness, tenderness—though these are common with other cosmetic treatments as well. However, any noticeable side effects should subside within 24 to 48 hours after your injections. Because dermal fillers are a temporary solution for cosmetic concerns, you’ll need ongoing treatments to maintain your results. But results typically last from one to two years.
