What are dermal fillers?
These injectable treatments provide a variety of benefits such as reducing signs of aging and enhancing facial features. Frequent reasons women and men visit us for filler treatments include:
• Smoothing out lines, folds, and wrinkles
Filling out thin lips and defining flattened lips.
• Replacing or adding volume to the cheeks, temples, chin, and under the eyes.
• Softening shallow scars such as those from acne and chickenpox.
• Rejuvenating the backs of the hands
• Sculpting the nose (non-surgical nose job)
BOTOX Cosmetic treats dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet around the eyes, which are caused by the contractions of facial muscles. Over time, repeated muscle contractions and dynamic wrinkles may become static wrinkles. Static wrinkles are present whether or not a person is animating. By starting BOTOX as a young adult, it is possible to delay or prevent the development of static wrinkles. We call this “prejuvenation.”
Fillers may be used to add or restore volume in a variety of areas including wrinkles, sunken cheeks, and thin lips. We often perform BOTOX and filler treatments together because they address different concerns and provide a more complete facial rejuvenation.

How Do Cosmetic Fillers Work
Fillers are injectable treatments that are placed under the skin in areas of volume loss such as wrinkles, folds, and hollows. Many contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which occurs naturally in the skin and diminishes with age and sun exposure. Other fillers contain substances that stimulate the production of collagen.
