Dermal Fillers

What is dermal filler?

Dermal filler is a gel that is made up of a sugar called hyaluronic acid which naturally exists in our bodies. Fillers can last between 6 months or up to 2 years depending on the amount used, type of filler used, and area being treated.

What are dermal fillers used for?

Dermal filler is used to instantly restore volume loss which helps make you look well-rested and rejuvenated. It can be used to enhance cheeks, lips, and temples. It also softens deep lines like smile lines and the hollows around the eyes.

About Dermal Filler treatment:

Before your treatment, it is recommended to stop taking over-the-counter blood thinners like Advil, aspirin, omega-3’s, vitamin E, and fish oils 2 days before your injections to minimize bruising. Alcohol and green tea can also increase the chances of bruising and should not be taken prior to your treatments. There is minimal to no downtime after being treated with filler. The procedure can take 15 to 30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
