What are Dermal Fillers?
As we age, our skin loses volume and may sag or begin to look sallow. As collagen production slows down, we may begin to notice wrinkles, creases and folds on our face which make us look older or more tired. Patients choose dermal fillers to address a variety of concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, loss of volume, or under eye circles. They are made up of hyaluronic acid, a sugar that we all already have in our bodies. When hyaluronic acid binds water in the skin, it can correct volume loss in the area injected and hydrate the skin.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers:
Our patients appreciate the quick results dermal fillers provide without a need for extensive downtime or recovery. Patients often choose this option if they’re looking to revive their appearance without undergoing surgery or more invasive procedures.
Dermal fillers are an effective, long-lasting way to replenish lost volume and skin tone for a natural, refreshed appearance. Dr. Sutton will do a thorough assessment of your face and recommend treatments to balance and harmonize your facial proportions and address your concerns.
Dermal fillers treat a variety of concerns and aesthetic goals. Different fillers or injections can be combined to rejuvenate your appearance – beautifully and naturally.
Lip injections or lip filler can replace volume in thin lips for a more full appearance.
Cheek filler aims to restore volume and a youthful appearance along the cheekbones.
Tear trough filler targets under eye circles that may form with age – “waking up” the face by restoring fullness under the eyes.
