Injectable fillers serve a wide variety of cosmetic purposes from smoothing fine lines, deep creases, and large folds to filling acne scars, depressions, and deep hollows in the face. They also provide lip enhancement and non-surgical re-contouring of the nose, cheeks, and jaw line.
Yes. Some forms of collagen are animal based and, therefore, require a skin allergy test a few weeks before treatment. Most fillers are non-allergenic.
That depends on the type of filler that you choose. Some fillers last about three months while others can last as long as one to two years or more.
Non-surgical re-contouring is a minimally invasive alternative to surgical procedures such as rhinoplasty (nose job). Small, precise injections can reshape areas of the face without sculpting and shaping bone. This works very well in reshaping the tip of the nose and defining the jaw line, for example.
No. It is minimally invasive. We use local anesthesia when necessary.
Depending on the extensiveness of the procedure, you may experience some minor swelling or puffiness, and a small amount of bruising. Downtime is minimal, and some patients return to work the same day.
