Facial fillers are substances injected into the skin’s surface that are naturally occurring chemicals in our body to enhance collagen production. These fillers help enhance plumpness and diminish the appearance of wrinkles and folds on the skin. These injectables are medically called dermal fillers, or injectable implants, etc. as they target the skin under wrinkles, smile lines, and acne scars, to rejuvenate the tissue underneath. Facial fillers are also used as liposuction in reducing the appearance of a double chin.

Dermal filler procedures are carried out after a consultation with your dermatologist, analyzing your skin conditions and medical history. Since this is a minimally invasive non-surgical procedure, injectable fillers are not painful as most contain local anesthetic in the formulation itself. The injections use extremely thin needles that penetrate several layers of the skin and deposit the substance on the targeted area. Aptly, this treatment is also known as a ‘lunchtime procedure’ as it hardly takes 15 to 30 minutes to administer a facial filler.

Our board-certified cosmetic surgeons use only FDA-approved substances and brands that provide authentic and clinically safe cosmetic formulations. Moreover, hyaluronic acid is a substance that naturally occurs in the cells of the skin, hence there is no risk of allergic reactions using this natural elixir. Therefore, people with sensitive skin and other allergies have also benefitted greatly from dermal fillers with zero to rare complications.
