About Dermal Fillers
The aging process often leaves its mark on our faces. Over time, we experience a natural loss of muscle, bone, and fat, which can lead to facial hollowing, sagging, and a perceived tired appearance. For individuals in seeking a nonsurgical solution to address fine lines, minimize sagging skin, and restore a naturally radiant look, our dermal fillers provide an excellent option.
Dermal fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero represent innovative injection treatments designed to combat wrinkles, restore facial fullness, and create subtle enhancements. These fillers consist of Hyaluronic Acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance within our skin that plays a pivotal role in maintaining hydration, elasticity, and volume. As we age, the HA content in our skin diminishes, resulting in facial tissues that contract and descend. Dermal fillers are versatile and can be applied to various areas, including the lips, cheeks, chin, temples, jawline, and smile lines. They provide a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your appearance and recapture your natural beauty.
What to Expect
During your initial consultation with Carmen, you’ll have the opportunity to express your aesthetic goals and concerns. She will assess your facial structure and discuss which dermal filler options are best suited to achieve your desired results. Once you’ve decided on a treatment plan, your provider will prepare you for the procedure. This may involve cleansing the treatment area and applying a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort.
Dermal fillers are administered through a series of carefully placed injections. A fine needle or microcannula is used to introduce the filler into specific areas of the face to target wrinkles, lines, or areas that require volume restoration. The number of injections and the amount of filler used depend on your treatment plan.
During the injection process, you may feel a slight pinching or stinging sensation, but most patients find it tolerable. Many dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, which helps to alleviate discomfort.
