As we age, sun exposure, gravity and other factors can reduce the amount of hyaluronic acid and collagen in our skin. The loss of this soft tissue causes the skin to lose structure and volume, creating unwanted facial wrinkles and folds such as lines around the nose and mouth. This loss of volume also distorts the proportions and symmetry of our face changing our youthful heart shaped face to an upside-down V appearance. This is where dermal fillers can help.
Injectable fillers such as JUVEDERM®, Restylane®, and Sculptra® add volume to the face in precise locations. Common areas that need improvement in volume include the parenthesis and the sagging corners of the mouth. Other areas to treat include areas that have experienced loss of specific fat pads such as upper lateral cheeks, temples and directly in front of the ears. Fillers like JUVEDERM®, JUVEDERM VOLUMA™ XC, Restylane®, and Sculptra® help replace the volume your skin has lost, adding precise amounts of fillers to create symmetry and to smooth away facial wrinkles and folds. At your personal consultation, we assess exactly what treatments can improve your appearance.
Over time, cheeks lose volume and flatten, adding to the heaviness at the jawline. JUVEDERM VOLUMA™ XC restores this volume, giving patients a more youthful appearance. It instantly provides a smooth, natural looking lift for the mid-face and other areas of fat loss. JUVEDERM VOLUMA™ XC is the first dermal filler specifically developed, optimized and FDA-approved for treating mid-face volume loss associated with aging and in many cases lasts for up to 2 years. It is made with hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body that works with collagen and elastin to provide volume and support to the skin. Our team will help determine which filler will help you achieve the best results.

You can experience an injectable filler treatment with a quick in-office procedure and minimal downtime. These fillers are mixed with lidocaine resulting in treatments that are comfortable and virtually painless. We also apply a topical numbing agent to the area being treating that helps reduce discomfort. Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen and vitamin E one week prior to your procedure to reduce the chance of bruising. Results are immediate and can last up to one year or more.
