Fillers

We are a leading laser skin clinic, revolutionizing the concept of aesthetic dermatology. Our expert Dermatologists are rigorously trained to give real results for all your skin and hair concerns.

If you have been searching for ways to make your wrinkles disappear, you might have heard skin fillers mentioned. Also known as dermal or wrinkle fillers, these substances are popular for wrinkle filling because they are less expensive than a traditional facelift.

If you want to rejuvenate your skin without undergoing any aggressive surgical procedures, a dermal filler may be your best option. Dermal fillers are increasing in popularity because they are safer and less expensive than surgery. You can regain the youthful vitality of your skin after just one treatment, and the effects can last for months. Individual results will vary from person to person.

A dermal filler is an injectable solution that fills the soft tissue under the skin. You can choose a synthetic or natural filler, and you will need to select an absorbable or non-absorbable option as well. Each variation improves the appearance of aging, wrinkling and sagging skin. Dermal fillers are ideal for filling in Creases and lines, plumping up the lips and cheeks, and enhancing facial contours.

Juvederm

Juvederm comes in several unique formulas; each designed to meet a wide variety of patient needs. A variation in viscosity (thickness) will allow the specific filler to successfully treat fine lines, deep creases, or replenish facial volume.

Juvederm Volift XC: As the ‘medium-duty’ member of the Juvederm family, Volift XC is perfect for deeper folds and mild improvements in facial volume.
Juvederm Voluma XC: JUVÉDERM VOLUMA^® XC injectable gel is for deep injection in the cheek area to correct age-related volume loss in adults over 21. JUVÉDERM^® XC injectable gel is for injection into the facial tissue for the correction of moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds (such as nasolabial folds). JUVÉDERM^® Ultra XC is for injection into the lips and perioral area for lip augmentation in adults over the age of 21. JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA^® XC injectable gel is for injection into the lips for lip augmentation and for correction of perioral lines in adults over the age of 21.
Juvederm Volbella XC: These smoother fillers are designed to provide patients with natural-looking, subtle lip enhancement and anti-aging around the lips to smooth the vertical lip lines.

Juvederm can effectively eliminate static wrinkles, providing excellent results when used on its own. When the filler is paired with Botox Cosmetic, used to treat dynamic wrinkles (caused by repetitive muscle movements), patients can see optimal facial rejuvenation. Ask your provider about the other noninvasive treatments available to compliment your Juvederm treatment.

The Juvederm Procedure

The Juvederm procedure will take less than half an hour to complete. Juvederm XC contains Lidocaine, an anesthetic, which keeps discomfort to a minimum. For added comfort, patients may request a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic. Once the consultation and anesthesia have been completed, the wrinkle-reducing filler will be applied with a very small needle, just above the underlying muscle and bone tissue.

Dermaglo uses several techniques to administer Juvederm, depending on the patient’s desired results. These include traditional injections, linear threading (a single thread placed under the skin fold), or serial punctures (a number of small deposits under the tissue). The injections themselves will take only a few minutes. Patients are then free to resume their normal activities.
