Dermal Fillers

The ageing process can cause changes to your face due to loss of volume and elasticity. Volume loss can cause thinning of the face and lips, leaving you feeling less-than-perfect and looking older.

Young skin is smooth and elastic and contains a large amount of naturally occurring substance that helps the skin look healthy. As we get older, the ability of the skin to produce this substance decreases and the amount in our skin begins to fall.

Dermal Fillers provide a non-surgical solution for smoothing facial folds and giving the face a younger, more sensuous form.

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive and are composed of a safe and natural substance that already exists in your body. These fillers are placed beneath the wrinkle or a fold in the skin to ‘fill in’ the depression and create a smooth appearance on the skins surface. These can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases, remove wrinkles and improve the appearance of recessed scars, resulting in natural looking and immediate results that refresh our appearance.

Before your filler treatment

  • Avoid blood thinning over-the-counter medications such as Aspirin, Motrin, Ibuprofen, and Aleve for 1 week prior.

  • Avoid supplements including St. Johns Wort, ginko biloba, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, and Vitamin E for 1 week.

  • Avoid topical products such as Tretinoin (Retin-A), Retinols, Retinoids, Glycolic Acid, or any “Anti-Aging” products for 3 days prior.

  • Avoid waxing, bleaching, tweezing, or hair removal cream on the area to be treated for 3 days prior.

  • Do not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours prior to treatment.

  • Please let us know if you are prone to cold sores, pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Please let us know of any information you believe is important regarding the treatment.
