Our approach to facial rejuvenation is pan-facial, as everything we do is designed to ensure balanced, natural-looking results. For this reason, treatment recommendations vary per patient. Each person has a unique anatomy, and we customize a treatment plan unique to their face structure. We use advanced techniques and an innovative approach curated to each patient and their goals.
We carry brand names such as Juvederm, Restylane, and RHA, which are well-known products used for facial rejuvenation. Dermal filler is a sugar-based gel called hyaluronic acid and includes lidocaine in each syringe for comfort. We can use dermal filler to restore areas of visible aging, including jowling and laugh lines/nasolabial folds, as well as enhance structure and contour in areas such as the cheeks, jawline, chin, temples, and much more.
We can use dermal fillers to balance facial proportions which have always been present or have changed over time due to the anatomy of aging. For example, we can place filler in a recessed, shorter chin to improve the projection and length, giving the lips more support and the face an overall improvement in balance and proportion.
Depending on your anatomy and beauty goals, we can use dermal fillers to create the appearance of sharper, more prominent facial features. For example, the jawline can be treated to create a sharper contour and reduce the appearance of jowls.
Adding hyaluronic acid dermal filler to areas such as the lips or cheeks can restore volume and provide a natural-looking fullness for a more youthful appearance.

You will see results immediately after treatment, although there will be some swelling which will continue to settle and integrate smoothly for a few weeks.
Fillers can last 6 months to over 2 years, depending on the type of filler, area, and quantity used at one time. Periodic touch-ups with smaller quantities can help maintain your result. Together, we’ll come up with a treatment plan and reassess when touch-ups are needed.
Due to its variety of uses, dermal filler is great for many conditions, from loss of volume to facial balancing. It’s also safe for all skin types.
