There is a vast number of FDA approved fillers on the market. Our office carries 20+ Hyaluronic Acid (HA) and Calcium based fillers, including Juvéderm and Restylane products. The type of filler you injector will recommend for you will be based of treatment area, facial anatomy, and desired result.
Your injector will begin by consulting with you to determine the primary area of concern and best treatment options before starting your procedure. We’ll review your medical history to ensure you are a candidate for dermal fillers. In order to track the progress of the targeted area, we’ll take photos of the area of treatment. You will be numbed with a topical numbing cream, which will take full affect in roughly 10-15 minutes after application. Your expert injector will then clean the treatment area, and begin injecting the dermal filler. The procedure takes only a few minutes to complete, and the pain is managed well by most patients.
