There are many different types of fillers that can help meet your unique goals.

Our Injection Technique

Dermal fillers are done as an in-office procedure within about 15 – 30 minutes. Before your procedure, we will consult with you to learn more about your desired results and determine which product may best deliver them. To perform the treatment, your injector will use topical numbing cream as a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The appropriate amount of filler will be gradually and evenly injected through a small needle. Depending on the desired outcome, either half or an entire syringe could be used. You can expect swelling or bruising initially, but these symptoms should fade away within a few days. Typical results can last from three months to a full year based on the type of filler used and the area of injection. Touch-ups may be needed to maintain results.
