Elevate your appearance with dermal fillers, expertly injected to smooth wrinkles, add volume, improve asymmetries, and enhance facial contours. There are three categories of dermal fillers: Hyaluronic Acid (HA), Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), and Polymethyl Methacrylate (PMMA) (note: PMMA is not used at our practice). Each category includes specific branded products,
with HA being the most commonly used and the only one that is reversible with an antidote.
Dermal filler treatments are renowned for their ability to deliver immediate results, making them a favored choice for enhancing one’s appearance. While you will see improvements right after the procedure, the full effect is best appreciated at the two-week mark, once any swelling or bruising subsides. The longevity of results depends on the type of filler used, the amount used, the location treated, and the individual’s metabolism. Most clients experience results lasting from 6 to 18 months with HA and CaHA fillers.
