Lip Enhancement

Dermal fillers are substances injected at varying depths within the skin and soft tissues to fill facial imperfections such as wrinkles, creases and concave scars, as well as to enhance the fullness, or volume and shape of facial tissue.

Dermal Fillers

The dermal fillers offered in our clinic are generally classified into two main categories: Radiesse and Hyaluronic Acid fillers.

Radiesse is an injectable implant which is soft, safe, simple and immediately effective. The cream-like texture of Radiesse stays soft, feels natural and remains in place for many months to years. Radiesse is made up of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a gel carrier. It does not contain any animal or human derived components. The CaHA spheres are composed of calcium and phosphate ions which occur naturally in human tissue.

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance between the skin cells that binds moisture and provides fullness. Injectable dermal fillers are created in a lab to mimic these natural substances.

Semi-permanent and permanent dermal fillers are those used to correct deeper facial creases and in larger volume restoration. These fillers generally include microsphere particles suspended into a liquid or gel formulation or compounds that do not readily absorb, injected deep with the soft tissue for more long-lasting and large volume correction.
