What are Dermal Fillers?

If you'd like to restore youthful fullness to your face, enjoy plump lips, enhance shallow contours, improve facial symmetry, or soften those facial creases and wrinkles, dermal fillers may be the answer. Dermal fillers have been called "liquid facelifts" because they offer many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the downtime.

Although they can't help with excess sagging skin, these soft tissue fillers can add more volume and provide immediate results at a lower cost compared to surgery.

Some dermal fillers are used in conjunction with other skin rejuvenation treatments such as injections of botulinum toxin. Your provider will assess your needs and recommend one or a combination of treatments to achieve your desired results.

Some common areas for filler injection include: cheeks, lips, jawline, nasiolabial folds, marionette lines, temples, lip lines (smoker lines), chin, and even hands. We offer more than 12 different kinds of fillers and an incredibly personalized approach to injecting! Our injectors, Christine and Vanessa, have trained under Dr. Ridgway for an incredibly detailed understanding of facial anatomy and with some of the best and brightest talents in the business.
