DERMAL FILLERS
As we age your face naturally loses subcutaneous fat, collagen, and elastin. The facial muscles work closer to the skin’s surface and wrinkles and fine lines become more apparent. Dermal fillers are volumizing gel-like substances that are carefully injected beneath the skin by one of our skincare specialists to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, raise scar tissue, enhance features and/or replace volume loss. They are injected into the skin at different levels to fill in facial wrinkles, folds, and fine lines. Denver Plastic Surgery Associates Medical Aesthetics, we offer several different dermal fillers, including Juvéderm®, Voluma®, Volbella®, Vollure®, Radiesse®, Belotero®, Restylane-L, Lyft, Refyne and Defyne, to give you a wide variety of treatment options and help you get the most natural looking and longest lasting results possible.
Dermal fillers are often used to add volume to the nasolabial folds (smile or laugh lines), lips and cheeks, and your treatment may require multiple syringes for proper correction. Results typically last between 6 months to over a year depending on which product is selected.
