Treatment Information
Dermal Filler Overview
Overview:
Dermal filler treatment is a cosmetic procedure that involves injecting a gel-like substance (Hyaluronic Acid) into the skin to enhance facial contours, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and restore volume to areas of the face that have lost elasticity over time.
One of the main benefits of dermal filler treatment is that it provides a non-surgical alternative to more invasive cosmetic procedures. Unlike facelifts or other surgical procedures, dermal fillers are minimally invasive and do not require significant downtime or recovery.
Dermal fillers are also a versatile treatment option that can be used to address a variety of cosmetic concerns. They can be used to add volume to the cheeks, lips, jaw, nose and chin as well as reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds, and even improving the appearance of scars or other skin imperfections.
Pre-appointment Care:
1. Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment for better skin elasticity and healing.

3. Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, or other blood-thinning supplements 5-7 days before your appointment (consult your doctor first). Also avoid antibiotics and steroid medications for a week prior.
