Benefits
- Hyaluronic acid
- Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in your skin and hyaluronic acid fillers give your face that plump and hydrated look.
- Your facial structure
- Your provider will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and build an individualized plan designed for a natural, balanced result. It is our passion to evaluate the face as a whole, create balance, and enhance an individual's natural beauty.
- Treatment areas
- Increasing fullness of lips, cheeks, chin, under-eye hollows, jawline, and back of the hand
What to expect
- Treatment
- Following a consultation, your provider may apply local anesthetic and ice at the injection site before injecting dermal fillers into target areas with a fine needle. Hyaluronic acid in the filler draws water in, which helps plump the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
- Early recovery
- Most side effects associated with dermal fillers, such as swelling and bruising, occur shortly after injection and many resolve in a few days to weeks. In some cases, side effects from a dermal filler injection may appear weeks, months, or years after injection.
- Results
- Successful results will depend on the underlying tissue structure and the volume and type of filler used. The time that the effect lasts depends on the filler material and the area where it is injected.
Is it right for me?
- Dermal fillers may not be appropriate for people with certain conditions, such as bleeding disorders or some allergies.
- Your skin is inflamed or infected. If you have an active inflammatory condition (cysts, pimples, rashes, or hives) or infection, dermal filler injection should be delayed until this inflammatory condition has been managed.
After your treatment
- Read and discuss the patient labeling for the specific filler you are receiving. Your provider can provide this information.
- Seek immediate medical attention if you experience unusual pain, vision changes, a white, gray, or blue appearance of skin near the injection site, or any signs of a stroke (including sudden difficulty speaking, numbness or weakness in your face, arms, or legs, difficulty walking, visual changes, face drooping, severe headache, dizziness, or confusion) during or shortly after the procedure.

- Can dermal filler be removed?
If you choose to have fillers removed or reduced due to side effects, you may need injections, surgery, or other interventions. These procedures carry their own risks.

Treatment information
The most serious risk associated with dermal fillers is accidental injection into a blood vessel. Filler that enters a blood vessel can cause skin necrosis (death of tissue), stroke, or blindness. While the chances of this happening are low, if it does happen, the resulting complications can be serious and may be permanent.
