Fillers


As you age, your skin begins to thin out, and the collagen and elastin that helps to keep your skin plump and youthful will reduce. Wrinkles are formed when the substances that naturally exist in your skin start to decrease. Fillers work by injecting hyaluronic acid or another substance with a needle, which fill wrinkles, plumping and smoothing them out. Fillers are produced with substances that help to retain moisture in the skin, allowing for that plump and youthful look. Fillers can last for several months depending on the patient and the skin condition.


Side effects vary but can include swelling from the needle injection. Fillers should be done in a professional medical environment such as in our office, where we are able to determine the best course of action and ideal procedure for you with a free consultation.
