DERMAL FILLERS

As we age, face looses volume and support needed for youthful appearance. There is atrophy of fat and bone. These problems can be addressed with dermal fillers. Fillers Like hyaluronic acid or fat is injected in the area of volume loss to give natural youthful looks, lift the area and to soften the wrinkles.

Fillers can be a simple office-based procedure that can nicely enhance their appearance. These dermal fillers are very predictable and have relatively minimal risks and side effects.

The effect is temporary and may last for 12-18 months.

For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the best approach. Nonsurgical rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging and that ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results.
