What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore facial volume, soften lines, and enhance contours affected by aging, genetics, or structural changes over time. Depending on the formulation, fillers may provide immediate volume, support skin hydration, or stimulate the body’s own collagen production. Treatment is highly customizable, allowing refinement without compromising natural facial character.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

  • Restored facial structure: Replenishes volume in areas such as the cheeks, temples, and around the mouth.
  • Softened lines and folds: Reduces the appearance of wrinkles while preserving natural expression.
  • Precise contourial enhancement: Improves contour and proportion with careful, anatomy-based placement.
  • Non-surgical rejuvenation: Achieves noticeable refinement without surgery or extended downtime.

Our Dermal Filler Options

RHA Collection

RHA fillers are formulated to integrate seamlessly with facial movement, making them well suited for expressive areas of the face. They provide soft structural support while adapting to natural animation. This option is often selected for patients seeking subtle correction that remains dynamic.

JUVÉDERM

JUVÉDERM is a family of hyaluronic acid fillers designed to restore volume and smooth moderate to severe facial lines. Different formulations allow treatment to be tailored to specific areas such as the cheeks, lips, or folds. Results are smooth, balanced, and refined when placed conservatively.

Restylane fillers offer precise contouring and controlled volume using a diverse range of formulations. They are commonly used to enhance facial definition while maintaining natural proportions. Treatment can be adjusted to support structure without heaviness.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulatory injectable that works by encouraging gradual collagen regeneration within the skin. Rather than creating immediate volume, it improves facial structure over time. This approach is well suited for patients seeking subtle, long-term rejuvenation.

Skinvive by JUVÉDERM

Skinvive by JUVÉDERM is designed to improve skin smoothness and hydration rather than add volume. It enhances skin quality from within, creating a refreshed appearance and natural luminosity. This treatment is ideal for patients focused on texture and radiance.
