Dermal Fillers

The aging process causes the face and hands to lose underlying fat and collagen, causing skin to sag and wrinkle.

Injectable fillers have become more popular due to the instant effect they have on skin sagging and wrinkle problems that result from aging, sun damage, skin trauma, scarring, and disease. They are most commonly used to treat facial lines such as smile lines, marionette lines, and wrinkles, especially between the eyes.

Dermal fillers can also enhance features by filling in hollow cheeks and eyes, receding chins, thinning lips, jaw lines, and eyebrows; they can even be used to hide nose bumps or plump thinning skin on the hands.

Treatment can take as little as thirty minutes, depending on the number of injection sites and the injectables used. These injections generally do not cause patients to complain of significant discomfort and results can be seen almost immediately.

Dr. Roberts uses many types of dermal fillers to give patients a variety of choices. The effect can last from three to eighteen months. In some cases, the dermal fillers will stimulate skin to produce its own collagen: improvement may last for years after the filler has dissolved.

The doctor only uses fillers which are biocompatible with human skin, which lessens the chance for an allergic reaction. None of the fillers she uses are made using animal products.
