Understanding Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment designed to smooth wrinkles, restore facial volume, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful appearance. At Palmetto Women's Health, we offer a range of dermal fillers to address various signs of aging and meet the unique needs of our patients. These fillers can rejuvenate the skin by filling in wrinkles, plumping thin lips, enhancing shallow contours, and improving the appearance of recessed scars.

How Dermal Fillers Work

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that can include hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, or other biocompatible materials. They work by:

• Adding Volume: Fillers can restore lost volume to cheeks, lips, and other areas, providing a more youthful contour.
• Smoothing Wrinkles: By filling in the space under the skin, fillers can smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and deeper creases.
• Enhancing Features: Fillers can be used to enhance facial features such as lips and cheeks, creating a more balanced and refined appearance.

Preparing for Your Dermal Filler Treatment

• Consultation: A personalized consultation to assess your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals.
• Treatment Plan: Based on the consultation, a customized treatment plan is developed, selecting the most suitable type of filler for your specific concerns.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Treatment

• Treatment Process: The selected filler is carefully injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula.
• Duration: The procedure is quick, typically taking about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the areas treated and the volume of filler used.
