Schedule ConsultationFirst of all, dermal fillers are not Botox or other similar products that use botulinum. This is because Botox works by freezing muscles in the face to reduce wrinkles.
Dermal fillers are gel-like products that are injected under your skin. This adds volume, fullness, improves the appearance of scars, smooths lines and wrinkles, and restores the youthful contours of your face. In addition, dermal fillers are minimally invasive FDA-approved cosmetic treatments, meaning they are safe for you to use.
Dr. Lee can help you choose the best treatments for your specific needs for many different areas of your body. These include the following:
Tear Troughs: This part of your face focuses on the area above your cheek and under your lower eyelid. Dermal fillers can reduce hollows under your eyes, which can brighten your eyes and make them not look sunken in.
Cheeks: As with the tear trough, your cheeks may lose volume as you age, making your face appear more skull-like. Dermal fillers can add volume to your cheeks, returning youthful contours to your face.
Lips: As you age, your lips can begin to thin and wrinkle. Adding dermal fillers not only reduces the wrinkling, it adds volume to your lips, making them look fuller and plumper. This creates a more youthful effect on your face.
Facial Contouring: You can target all the areas of your face with this technique. Facial contouring involves using dermal fillers to restore volume to various areas of your face. You can lift your cheeks and strengthen your jawline.
Chin Augmentation: Using dermal fillers for a chin augmentation can provide immediate results for enhancing your jawline and chin area, which can change the contours of your face by reducing jowls and double chins.
Liquid Rhinoplasty: Liquid rhinoplasty focuses on restoring contours to your nose that may have changed due to aging. This includes drooping tips, asymmetry, or bumps that may have formed on your skin, making your nose look wider or longer.
The biggest benefit of getting a dermal filler is that they fill in lines and wrinkles, which helps to restore a youthful appearance to your face. They also produce long-lasting results and minimal risks with almost no downtime needed for recovery. Dermal fillers can be used on several parts of your body. Dr. Lee can guide you on the best products and treatments available for your specific needs.
