Dermal Fillers

As skin ages, it begins to lose collagen filled with hyaluronic acid (HA). Collagen and hyaluronic acid add structure and volume to the face, therefore a lack of hyaluronic acid causes the skin to sag and wrinkle.  Dermal fillers add volume to weakened facial features and can stimulate collagen growth. They plump and lift the skin to restore your face to a more natural, youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are effective in restoring lost volume in various areas including the lips, cheeks, smile lines such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines, temples, jawline and fine lines or “smokers lines” around the mouth.

Dermal fillers are used in a non-surgical face lift which is an in office procedure with minimal downtime. It is also known as a liquid lift. Millions of people use dermal fillers to achieve a more relaxed and smooth facial appearance while still having the freedom of expression.

Dermal fillers like the Restylane and Juvederm lines are created from naturally occurring hyaluronic acid. The Restylane family of dermal fillers includes Restylane-L, Restylane Lyft, Restylane Refyne, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Kysse, Restylane Contour and Restylane Silk.
