Hyaluronic Acid Based Fillers

We offer hyaluronic acid-based fillers, a substance that is naturally found in the body.  Hyaluronic acid decreases in production as we age, resulting in a loss of volume and elasticity.  This reduction is what contributes to the formation of wrinkles and folds in the skin. These fillers are used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and plump the skin, helping to create a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

How It Works:

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are injected carefully into desired areas of the skin to restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These fillers plump and hydrate the skin.

The procedure is non-surgical and provides immediate results, with minimal discomfort and recovery time. The fillers gradually integrate into the skin, offering a natural and youthful appearance that lasts for several months.

Commonly Treated Areas:

● Lips – To enhance volume, shape, and smoothness.
● Cheeks – To restore volume and lift sagging skin.
● Jawline – To define and sculpt the jaw area.
● Chin – To create better facial harmony and contour.
● Under-eye area – To reduce dark circles and hollows.
● Nasolabial folds (Smile lines) – To soften deep lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
● Marionette lines – To reduce the appearance of lines running from the corners of the
mouth.
● Temples – To restore volume and address hollowing.
● Skin boosters – To hydrate and improve skin texture, especially in areas prone to
dryness or aging.
● Full face treatments – For overall rejuvenation, volume restoration, and contouring

Before-Care Instructions For Dermal Fillers:

● Consultation:
○ Have a thorough consultation with one of our experienced practitioners to discuss your goals, any medical conditions, and medications you take.

● Avoid Blood Thinners:
○ Avoid medications that thin your blood (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E) for a few days prior to treatment to minimize bruising.
○ If you’re on prescribed blood thinners (e.g., warfarin, aspirin), consult with your doctor first or reach out to us for advice before stopping them

● Avoid Alcohol:
○ Refrain from drinking alcohol 24-48 hours before your procedure, as alcohol can increase the risk of bruising and swelling.

● No Skin Irritation:
○ Avoid harsh skin treatments like facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments at least 1-2 weeks before dermal fillers, as they can cause skin irritation.
