Fillers

The normal aging process leads to loss of volume as the underlying deep skin and fat deteriorate and decrease. Soft tissue fillers are substances injected into the skin to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, plump lips, fill hollow cheeks, and elevate deep folds. The results can lead to a smoother, more youthful appearance. There are a variety of fillers including collagen, hyaluronic acid, and calcium hydroxyapatite. Hyaluronic acid products are commonly used fillers that bind water and give the skin added volume. Results are generally long-lasting and may require maintenance or touch up treatments every 3-6 months.
