Dermal Filler
Whether it’s building structure or restoring lost volume, dermal fillers can be your best friend when utilized correctly. Dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring substance that already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin. We use fillers to restore certain facial structures as well as to minimize wrinkles and folds to enhance the youthful appearance.
