As we age, facial skin begins to show laxity. This is not only due to our skin losing its elasticity, but also because of volume loss. We begin to lose fat, collagen, and bone as soon as our late 20’s and into our early 30’s. Fillers are used both to soften facial wrinkles, and act as a volumizer.
WILL A FILLER WORK FOR ME?
If you look in the mirror and see wrinkles, lines, and creases, you may be a good candidate for a filler treatment. These fillers function in different ways, and each is used to treat a specific condition. During your consultation, a clinician will choose the most appropriate filler for your specific condition as well as taking into consideration the area of the face that is being treated.
WHAT AREAS CAN BE TREATED?
- Cheeks
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette Lines
- Chin
- Jowl reduction (Prejowl sulcus)
- Jawline reshaping
- Tear troughs
- Earlobes
- Hollow temples
- Non-surgical rhinoplasty (nose)
- Lips
- Hands
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE?
Your facial features will be examined and the different filler options for treatment will be discussed. The use of numbing creams and latest injection techniques make the process comfortable, with little swelling and often no downtime.
