A variety of brands allow our expert physician injectors to treat a wide range of areas and concerns with the right formulation of fillers that deliver the best and most natural results.
How it Works
Occasionally, deep wrinkles are only minimally corrected with neurotoxin injections. In recent years, dermal filler injections have emerged as one of the most popular methods to fill out and obscure wrinkles and replace age-related lost volume in the face and neck. Fillers are made of hyaluronic acid which is a clear, gooey substance that is naturally produced by your body. The largest amounts of it are found in your skin, connective tissue and eyes. Its main function is to retain water to keep your tissues well lubricated and hydrated.
