Dermal Fillers

Would you like to restore your youthful fullness to your face, soften facial creases and wrinkles, enjoy fuller lips?  Dermal fillers may be a treatment option for you.  Dermal fillers offer many of the benefits of a surgical facelift without the downtime.  Dermal fillers cannot tighten sagging skin, but they can add more volume and several can provide immediate results.  There are so many dermal fillers on the market today to choose from you might wonder how Dermatology Associates determines which dermal filler to offer.  Our board-certified dermatologists and physician assistant review published studies, journal articles, peer reviews on each new dermal filler that is introduced into the market completely before we offer any new item to our patients.   At your consultation with one of our providers, they will discuss with you any areas of concern and offer a treatment plan as appropriate.
