Dermal fillers and volume-building injections, often known by their commercial names such as Juvederm, Esthelis, Teosyal, Restylane, Radiesse, Redensity and others, are widely used in aesthetic medicine to fill static wrinkles and to compensate for the loss of volume over time. They are composed of hyaluronic acid, a carbohydrate (sugar derivative) occurring naturally throughout the human body. As we age and due to repeated exposure to environmental pollutants and the sun’s UV rays, our skin cells lose their ability to produce hyaluronic acid. As a result, facial features become harsh and sunken. That’s when volume-building injections of synthesized hyaluronic acid come in handy. Injected under the skin, hyaluronic acid binds to water, capable to hold more than a thousand times its weight, which makes it ideal to hydrate the skin and to maintain tissue volume. It is a safe non-surgical treatment, often used in combination with neuromodulators.

Dermal fillers can be used to correct and improve various aspects of the face. The most commonly treated areas are lips, nasolabial folds, marionette lines and cheekbones. Other areas include under-eye area, cheeks and even temples that are often affected by the loss of volume.

The most commonly treated areas include cheeks, nasolabial folds, under-eye area, temples, chin and lips. Your doctor will choose the most suitable product for your skin type and application.

Hyaluronic acid is a substance that is naturally produced by the human body and it plays a major role in keeping the skin hydrated and volumized. As we age, hyaluronic acid production slows. The rate at which is slows varies, which is why the aging process looks different from person to person.

Composed of hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers can be used to restore or balance dermal volume that has been lost over time. The most popular dermal filler treatments include: redefining the jawline, enhancing the cheek bones, and plumping or reshaping the lips.

A variety of the best dermal fillers available are offered to achieve the natural results you desire.

Depending on the area(s) being treated, the appointment time may vary from 15 minutes up to 1 hour. A consultation must be planned prior to the first treatment.

Dermal fillers are safe if the treatment is performed by one of our experienced medical experts with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy. Results are reversible by injecting an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid.

We take patient comfort seriously. While pain is typically minimal, we recognize everyone has a unique tolerance, especially in sensitive areas. We can numb the area with topical anesthetic and we have a variety of ‘distraction devices’ available to you. You may experience sensitivity, light swelling or small bruises following the treatment.

Results are visible immediately after the treatment, although minor swelling may alter the final result. You can appreciate the full benefits 1 to 2 weeks following treatment.

For most patients, results of hyaluronic injections may last anywhere from 6 to 24 months, depending on the area(s) being treated*. Our experts will advise you of the best time to return for follow up treatments at your appointment.

*Individual results may vary.

Multiple factors can impact the results including age, facial symmetry, history of previous treatment(s), lifestyle, sun exposure and diet.

Most patients return to their regular activities immediately following the hyaluronic acid injections treatment, although it is possible to experience temporary redness, bruising or minor swelling of the treated area in the 24 to 48 hours following the treatment.

The most common areas treated with hyaluronic acid are temples, under-eyes, nasolabial folds, marionette lines, cheekbones, jowls, jawline, chin and lips.

The cost per treatment varies by product, location and desired results. Our experts will recommend a product that is suitable for your needs in order to provide safe, natural and long-lasting results that meet your highest expectations.

Dermal fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, a derivative of one of the body’s natural sugars, and can be used to create volume in different areas of the face and hands. The product can absorb up to ten thousand times it’s weight in water, like a real sponge! Dermal fillers are recommended to rehydrate and balance dermal volume and are ideal to plump lips, fill deep wrinkles or other areas where volume loss is noticed.

Neuromodulators temporarily relax specific muscles by blocking nerve impulses. Dynamic wrinkles and lines that appear as a result of these muscles contracting will gradually fade. Neuromodulators do not restore lost volume or fill deep wrinkles. Therefore, you can combine neuromodulators with dermal fillers to complement your results.

Our experts will recommend a personalized treatment plan adapted to the needs of your skin.
