HA Dermal Fillers
What is an Hyaluronic Dermal Filler?
Hyaluronic Acid is produced naturally in your body and acts as a skin plumper. It delivers nutrients and helps the skin retain moisture, softness, and volume. It can be used to plump up wrinkled skin, fill deep lines, and replace volume. It is also a great filler to add volume to lips, define the lip line and lift creased skin around the mouth.

When Will I See Results?
Results are immediate! When you leave your appointment you will already see the difference. No downtime is required following this procedure, and side effects are minimal. Some patients may have minor swelling, bruising or soreness, which will disappear on its own. Results can last for 6-12 months, however, in the lips, a more realistic timeline is 6 months. Individual results may vary.
Before Your Appointment:
- Avoid taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen 7-10 days before your appointment.
