Dermal Filler
Restore Your Natural Beauty
WHAT IS DERMAL FILLER?As we age, we lose collagen, which can result in a less youthful appearance. Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to replace lost volume by filling in shapes and contours in the face. Filler can help to bring facial harmony and balance to your appearance, bringing you a newfound sense of confidence. This can result in plumper skin, fuller cheeks, and fuller lips. Dermal filler is minimally invasive and results can be seen almost right away.
How is a Dermal Filler procedure done?Beginning with a consultation, we can discuss which areas of your face you’d like to enhance. Our approach to dermal filler is simple - we focus on artistically enhancing the shape of the face, while maintaining a natural look. We will sculpt around your natural features, not completely changing your face, but elevating your natural features. Dermal filler helps to correct volume deficits, tweak light and shadow elements on the face and add structural changes to create facial harmony.
WHAT IS COLLAGEN? Collagen is a naturally occurring protein that provides structure, elasticity and strength to your skin, bones and muscles. As we age, collagen production decreases and weakens, resulting in a loss of structure and visible lines and wrinkles. Collagen loss may also occur due to hormonal changes like pregnancy, menopause, stress and lifestyle factors like diet and smoking, sun damage and lack of vitamin C.
HOW CAN COLLAGEN BE REVITALIZED? Certain materials and treatments can act as seeds to help us grow collagen within the skin. Thread procedures and collagen washes can help to stimulate the production of collagen over time. There are also a number of lifestyle choices you can make daily to maintain and build collagen in your skin. Eating a healthy, nutrient-rich diet can help build collagen within your body. Limit sugar and processed foods, as well as alcohol and smoking. Wearing sunscreen and SPF daily can also help protect your skin against harm.
