Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can restore volume loss, reduce wrinkling and enhance facial features. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture.
As we age, our body’s naturally-occurring hyaluronic acid levels decrease, resulting in sagging skin, thinner lips, sunken cheeks, and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid fillers help restore that moisture and add additional fullness.
Facial balancing delivers the most natural but most impactful result. Friends will ask “what’s your secret?”, “did you change something?” or simply comment on how amazing you look!
Most popularly, filler is great for plumping the lips, sculpting the jawline, and enhancing the cheek bones.
Facial balancing is approaching your entire face as a whole versus injecting one area for the most natural result. We don't lose volume from any one area alone as we age, which is why it is important to address the face as a whole for the most natural, balanced outcome.
Many patients feel that their facial appearance could be more balanced. At SavvyDerm Skin Clinic we use the technique of facial balancing to create a refined and balanced facial aesthetic for our patients.
An objective of facial balancing is to achieve a more balanced and proportional facial appearance. Each procedure is completely customized to the patient, which is dependent on his or her facial features and objectives.
Looking for an alternative to traditional filler? Sculptra is a modern injectable that activates your skin's natural power to revitalize collagen production for a more youthful appearance. By working with your body naturally, Sculptra stimulates collagen production lost to aging and restores the support & volume of youthful looking skin. Results can last up to two years.
During a SavvyDerm Skin Clinic consultation, the injector will discuss your aesthetic concerns and take a detailed medical history. A topical anesthetic will be used to numb the injection site before treatment to reduce injection pain. Next, the filler is injected just underneath the skin.
The effects of fillers can typically be seen immediately, depending on the type injected. After treatment, you can resume normal activities, but you should avoid any exercise and strenuous activities for several days.
