When it comes to keeping our skin looking youthful and radiant, there are a lot of options out there. But if you’re looking for a non-surgical way to plump up your skin and reduce wrinkles, dermal fillers are the answer.
These injectable treatments can do wonders for adding volume to the face, smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines, and enhancing certain facial features. But are they right for you? Let’s take a closer look and see.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
First of all, let’s talk about what dermal fillers are. There are a few different types of filler materials, but we recommend those made of hyaluronic acid – a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps to attract moisture from the environment.
As our bodies age, we naturally lose volume in a number of places, especially in our face. Fillers are injected into the skin to plump it back up and give you a more youthful appearance. They’re a quick and easy way to give your skin a boost without any downtime or surgery. And the best part is, you’ll see the results immediately.
When you apply a dermal filler, it creates a smooth layer over any wrinkles or folds in your skin, which helps to camouflage them. This is especially helpful if you have deep lines around your mouth or on your forehead (like some of us do).
Do I Really Need It Though?
Ahh yes, we know what you’re thinking. “But I already have a skincare routine, why do I need dermal fillers?” Well, here’s the thing: A good skincare routine is important, but it can only do so much.
Dermal fillers are like the cherry on top. They work to enhance the natural beauty of your face and give you that extra oomph you’ve been looking for. Plus, they’re a great way to target specific areas of the face that you might be self-conscious about, like deep wrinkles or thin lips.
Dermal fillers can also be used to add volume to other areas of the face, like cheeks and lips. They work by drawing water into the treated area where it’s injected, but once there’s enough water in place (usually within a few days), it remains there permanently until naturally absorbed by your body over time or removed with another injection or treatment.
Ok I’m Convinced, Where Can I Have Fillers?
Our list of Services show the dermal filler services we provide, but here are some of the most common filler location applications include:
- Lips: to improve symmetry, add volume or shape

- Smile/Marionette Lines: to reduce the appearance of age-related lines around the mouth
How Long Do They Last?
It’s important to know that dermal fillers are not a one-time solution. The effects of the treatment will last for a certain period of time (between 9 months – 2 years), after which you’ll need to repeat the treatment to maintain the desired results.
But that’s not necessarily a bad thing! Think of it as a way to keep your skin looking fresh and radiant. Plus, with each treatment, you’ll have the opportunity to tweak and perfect your results.
