What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers can plump the skin, filling in deepened lines and volumizing tissue to restore a more youthful appearance. Fillers can be used for a variety of enhancements, including reducing fine lines, highlighting facial contours, and adding volume to lips.

Dermal fillers are generally hyaluronic acid-based, a natural substance found in the body, responsible for retaining moisture and giving skin a supple, youthful look. Hyaluronic Acid-based fillers are not permanent, as your body will metabolize the filler with time.

Injectables: Artistry makes a difference, and our team offers the skill to deliver natural results that turn back the clock. Optum also offers botox.

Using dermal fillers is an effective, non-surgical way to give your skin a refreshed, youthful appearance, and natural results.

Our surgeons will utilize expert techniques and an artistic approach to refine your beauty with custom injectables.

Who is the ideal candidate?

Frequently asked questions

What steps are typically involved when getting dermal fillers?

Most dermal fillers require premedication with a topical anesthetic prior to injection in order to ensure optimal patient comfort. Once numb, multiple small injection sites will be utilized to place the filler product in the ideal location to achieve the best aesthetic results.

What are the risks of dermal fillers?

Risks of dermal fillers include, but aren’t limited to, bruising, swelling, asymmetry, and inadequate fill volume.

What results can I expect after dermal fillers?

Expected results will vary from patient to patient, depending on each individual’s aesthetic goals and the amount of product used. Some patients desire volume enhancement while others are looking for wrinkle reduction.
