In days past, collagen was used for fillers. Thanks to today’s advancements, we can provide fillers that are better tolerated and safer than collagen: hyaluronic acid. This natural product occurs in your skin. It holds water, which creates a plumping effect under your skin.
As you age, the amount of hyaluronic acid in your skin decreases. By using a filler, you can create greater volume in specific areas of your face. Often, fillers are used along with anti-wrinkle injections to enhance your appearance.
Are Fillers Right for You?
The types of concerns that fillers can address include:
- Lip shaping (definition, plumping, and elevating down-turning mouth corners)
- Nasolabial and labio-mental lines (lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth and the mouth down to the chin)
- Glabellar lines (vertical frown lines between your eyebrows)
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet
- Shaping your cheekbones
- Shaping of your jaw line
- Reducing defects caused by acne, trauma or surgery
Contraindications for Fillers
We do not treat women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. You must be 18 to have fillers applied. If you have a history of collagen scarring, connective tissue disease or emotional, medical or psychiatric conditions that impair judgment, you may not be eligible for treatment. If you’ve ever had an adverse reactions to filler injections, it’s not advisable to have them.
