Fill in lines, folds, and so much more! FAQs about confidence-boosting dermal fillers

Several fillers are made from Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring molecule. Because HA is found in the skin and joints, the risk of adverse allergic reactions and other unwanted side effects is minimized. HA-based fillers are perhaps more popularly known by brands such as the Juvéderm and Restylane family of fillers. Additionally, some fillers are also categorized as “collagen stimulators.” They are associated with long-lasting results. Their formulations contain active ingredients which trigger the production of collagen deep in the skin. The production of this firming natural protein falls off with age. But, with certain fillers, fresh collagen can be produced to renew saggy, wrinkled skin and poorly defined and hollow areas that betray our age or make us look older than our chronological years.

By evaluating your skin and concerns, our talented team is provided with clues as to the best product to bring out and restore your one-of-a-kind and natural beauty. We consider everything from the specific aesthetic concern to be treated to the locations and severity of your trouble areas. Of course, we will also review any potential side effects, healing, downtime, and expectations for results with you. With these and other injectable treatments, recovery is minimized as they are considered to be well-tolerated and non-invasive alternatives to surgical or more aggressive cosmetic procedures.

No filler or injectable treatment is a permanent fix. But, here again, the duration varies widely depending on the type of filler being used. Other factors include how your body metabolizes the product and how well you care for your skin!
