Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment used to restore lost volume, enhance facial contours, and rejuvenate the skin. Dermal Fillers offer a non-surgical option to reduce signs of aging, improve skin texture, and create a more balanced, and more youthful appearance.
What Concerns Does It Treat
Dermal fillers have been specifically designed to restore structure and replace volume. As we age, collagen and hyaluronic acid gradually decrease, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and volume loss. Dermal fillers are specifically formulated to counter these changes, restoring structure and at Beacon Face and Dermatology our goal is always to treat with Dermal Fillers in a way that will enhance patients features for natural-looking results.
Dermal fillers are especially effective within the Mid-Face, Cheeks, Jawline, Nasolabial Folds, Tear Trough (under eyes), Chin and Nose area.
