Injectable fillers offer a safe, non-surgical solution to restore that lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and sculpt facial features for a refreshed, youthful look.

Dermal fillers are smooth, gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, soften creases, or enhance facial contours. We primarily use Hyaluronic Acid (HA) filler. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps keep the skin hydrated and plump.
Because HA filler integrates seamlessly with your own tissue, they provide immediate, natural-looking results. Additionally, HA fillers are reversible; an enzyme called hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve the filler if adjustments are needed, providing an extra measure of safety and peace of mind.

The longevity of your results depends on the type of filler used, the area treated, and your body's natural metabolism. On average, hyaluronic acid fillers last anywhere from 6 to 18 months. Areas with high movement, like the lips, may metabolize filler faster, while areas like the cheeks or jawline tend to last longer.
We take every step to ensure your filler treatment is as comfortable as possible. We can apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure, and the fillers we use contain lidocaine to numb the area from the inside as it is injected. Most patients report only mild pressure or a slight pinch.
