Dermal fillers are safe, gel-like injectable substances that smooth deep creases, fine lines, and wrinkles to rejuvenate your skin and restore volume and fullness to your face.

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance your lips, fill your cheeks, straighten out your jawline, and soften grooves underneath your eyes. It is a popular option in cosmetic treatments used to reduce the visible effects of aging. Dermal fillers do not physically fill in wrinkles but rather add volume to the desired area in order to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in your skin.

Typically, most FDA-approved dermal fillers are also infused with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment. Injecting cosmetic dermal fillers only takes a short amount of time to complete, and most patients are able to return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

FDA-approved dermal fillers can last between six to twelve months before fading and requiring another injection. The lifespan and overall effectiveness of your dermal filler treatment depend on your physiological makeup which will be discussed during your initial consultation.
