Dermal fillers are used to correct moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds. The areas usually treated is the fold from the nose to the corner of the lip, and if needed, to the corner of the chin. Treatment with dermal fillers can smooth out folds and wrinkles, add volume to the lips, and contour facial features that have lost their fullness due to aging, sun exposure, illness, etc. Dermal fillers may also help correct acne / surgical scars. A dental numbing agent is injected into the area with a very small thin needle prior to the injection of the filler. Treating wrinkles with dermal fillers is fast, safe and involves very little discomfort. The results can often be seen immediately and may last up anywhere from 3 – 9 months.
