A variety of filling agents are available to fill up deep lines and wrinkles on the face by means of skin injections. Some of these may require an allergy test prior to being used. We use only FDA approved agents for this purpose. The effects take only a few days and last for a variable period of time ranging from 3-4 months to a couple of years. Autologous fat (your own body fat) can also be used as a filling agent.

As we age, our skin becomes more susceptible to wrinkles and sagging. Sun exposure and years of muscle movement (i.e., smiling, chewing, and squinting) also contribute to tissue breakdown of the skin. Fortunately, there are innovative cosmetic procedures to help ease this aging process and sustain one’s youth.

Facial fillers, which are also known as “dermal fillers” and “injectables,” are temporary to long-lasting solutions administered through a few tiny injections on specific areas of the face.
