Dermal/Lip Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to treat a wide range of cosmetic issues in the face and hands, including diminished volume, fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Several different companies make fillers, and each has its own unique formulations, which are useful for treating distinct problems in separate areas of the face.
By filling in certain areas of the face, we can contour and create the visage you’ve always dreamed of. Over time, dermal fillers are slowly absorbed by the body and most last anywhere from 12 to 24 months before necessitating a touch-up.
If you’re looking for expert guidance and information on dermal and lip fillers, you’ve come to the right place. Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive insights and answers to your questions about these cosmetic procedures.
