Dermal Fillers

Treatment For:

• Signs of aging

• Volume loss

• Facial contouring

How It Works:

Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are temporary, gel-like dermal fillers injected beneath the skin to diminish the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines & facial folds. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that draws in moisture to help skin stay hydrated. HA fillers are gel-like and injected beneath the skin. These fillers can restore lost volume, enhancing the structure and definition of the face and lips.

Frequently Asked Questions
