Fillers are mainly used to restore or add volume to help improve undesired lines and contours in the face. The most common type of fillers used are hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, especially in the skin, hair and nails. It attracts water to keep the skin hydrated. High amounts of hyaluronic acid improves collagen production, nutrient facilitation between cells, and the healing of damaged skin.

 

Filler treatments are typically done in the office in a 30-45 minute appointment. A fine needle is used for the injection and discomfort associated with the procedure is generally minimal. Fillers also contain lidocaine, which causes a numbing effect with repeated injections. The length of your consultation will depend on the amount of questions you may have. You can generally receive filler injections on the same day as your consultation.
