Filler
pump up the volume
As we age we start to lose facial volume. Dermal fillers are injected beneath the surface of the skin to add volume and fullness to the areas that have experienced volume loss. Fillers can be used to pump up the volume for cheeks, lips, and help decrease shadow or pesky wrinkles under the eyes. Dermal fillers can also be utilized for fine lines and wrinkles within the lower face. We often are asked what is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers? The big difference is wrinkle relaxers (tox) are designed to “relax” a patients facial muscles, whereas fillers are formulated to plump soft tissue that has experienced volume loss.
