ABOUT DERMAL FILLERS
wHAT IT IS
Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectable gels made from hyaluronic acid - the featured ingredient in many moisturizers, and a naturally occurring compound found in skin. Dermal fillers work to restore and plump up soft tissue volume, smooth the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and / or give lips and cheeks a naturally fuller look.
During your complimentary consultation our nurse injector will evaluate your skin condition, facial structure and your concerns to select the best product for your needs. Filler will then be then injected into your desired treatment area and will add structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime.
How it works
Depending on your selected treatment area(s), the procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours (which your injector can better specify prior to booking). Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness may occur. You will see your results immediately and can expect them to last 6-24 months (depending on filler and area).

There’s virtually zero downtime with these treatments. Neurotoxins are often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” since most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Very rarely, patients may experience minor bruising.

Results last around 3-6 months, depending on the location of the treatment, your muscle activity and your body’s individual response.
