Dermal Filler

Youthful skin is soft, supple, and hydrated. As we age, we tend to lose volume and collagen in several areas of our faces which leads to deflation and drooping of the skin. With dermal filler treatments, skin can be rejuvenated and restored. Some areas of dermal filler treatments include the lips, cheeks, jawline, and more. In some cases, dermal filler can also be used to fill scars or to provide symmetry to the face.

The most common side effects include temporary reactions at the treatment site such as tenderness, swelling, firmness, lumps/bumps, bruising, pain, redness, and discoloration. Side effects are all mild and generally last 3-7 days.

The price per syringe is $398 for a half and $650 for a whole. These are rough estimates and do not guarantee pricing. The number of syringes is determined based on age, personal needs, and severity of the area.

Products used for this procedure are Juvederm Volbella XC, Juvederm Ultra XC, Versa, Restylane Kysse, and RHA.
