Collection: Dermal Filler

All of our dermal fillers are Hyaluroic Acid (HA) fillers. The role of HA in the skin is to deliver nutrients and help the skin retain its natural moisture and softness. Dermal fillers, or soft tissue fillers, are products made from substances such as hyaluronic acid. These substances can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and creases, raise depressed scars, and add contour to the lips and cheeks. Fillers are long-lasting but temporary solutions that are administered in the comfort of our office. The gel formulation also contains a small quantity of local anesthetic (lidocaine) which helps minimize discomfort during injection.
