Dermal Fillers

Contact

As we age, collagen, the protein scaffolding that maintains skin firmness, gradually disappears and the dermis loses moisture. While Botox Cosmetic is the treatment of choice for dynamic wrinkles of the upper face, dermal fillers add volume that time has taken away. The process, known as soft tissue augmentation, uses injectable filler materials to treat fine to deep wrinkles, nasolabial folds, smile lines, oral commissures, and scars. In addition, lips can be augmented and the face can be contoured.


What is a dermal filler?

There are many fillers available now, but the most popular are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. They are designed to naturally fill depressions and lines associated with the loss of collagen that we experience over time.

Dermal Filler Injection Procedure

Dr. Pascoe has extensive training and is adept at injecting with both small needles and cannulas. A topical anesthetic may be applied to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.

How long will my results last?

Depending on the area treated and the amount of product injected, the results typically last up to 2 years.

Is the procedure for dermal fillers painful?

The discomfort is minimal. The product contains lidocaine which minimizes any pain associated with the procedure. Topical anesthetic or ice applied to the area can be used to further minimize discomfort.

are there any side effects associated with dermal filler injections?

Temporary redness and minor bruising are possible side effects. Avoiding ASA, Ibuprofen, and Omega fatty acids for 4 days prior to treatment will minimize this risk. With any injection, there is always a risk of infection or intravascular complication. It is important to select an injector who is experienced and trained in the treatment of these very rare but possible complications.

I am still unsure if this is the right procedure for me.
