INJECTIONS FOR
DERMAL FILLER
Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are delivered by injection under or within the skin to lift, support, and contour the face. They are administered by needle or cannula to address changes that occur over time due to loss of collagen and elastin as well as fat and bony structures below. They may also be used to enhance and showcase certain features.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that occurs naturally in the body and supports tissues by retaining moisture. The Hyaluronic acid gels used for injection are created from a sugar substance that closely resembles our bodies own therefore requiring no allergy testing.
To minimize discomfort, a small amount of lidocaine anesthetic is pre-mixed into the filler. A topical numbing cream is also available.
