Cosmetic injectables like Botox® and Dysport® temporarily relax the muscles and dramatically reduce fine lines and wrinkles. These are most commonly used around your forehead, eyebrows, eyes and mouth. They offer smoother skin and a more youthful appearance, with minimal discomfort and little to no downtime.
Note: It is becoming more common to find cosmetic injectables offered outside of a specialty practice; however, we feel it is important that these products are administered under the supervision of a skilled dermatologist who is trained and experienced.
Dermal fillers are formulated to correct specific areas, filling deeper wrinkles, plumping lips, and restoring lift and volume to areas of the face that appear hollowed or sagging. Some injectable treatments work to boost collagen production over extended periods of time. Most fillers offer immediate, visible results that can last from a few months to more than a year, depending on the product chosen and your skin’s response to the treatment. At times mild, temporary bruising can occur. We use a range of FDA approved dermal fillers to ensure that we can tailor treatment to each client’s needs and help you look your very best.
Dermal fillers are tissue-friendly, gel-like solutions made of natural or synthetic materials. Some stimulate the production of collagen, while others restore hyaluronic acid (HA), a naturally occurring hydrating substance that keeps skin looking supple and smooth. Some of the most commonly treated areas are nose-to-mouth lines (nasolabial folds), lines from mouth to chin (marionette lines), and lines around the lips.
Our medical providers can help you select the right dermal filler for your needs. Our dermal fillers include:

Juvéderm Vollure XC’s ability to comprehensively treat moderate to severe wrinkles in the lower half of the face also make it an option for some patients considering a facelift.
How It Works
Juvéderm Vollure XC penetrates deep into the dermal layers of the skin to restore the support lost due to collagen depletion. Collagen is a protein found in the dermal structure that gives the skin its smooth, supple appearance. Over time our bodies produce less collagen leading to skin laxity and wrinkle formation. By restoring that support, Juvéderm Vollure XC effectively reverses some signs of aging to refresh and rejuvenate your appearance.
What signs of aging can Juvéderm Vollure XC treat?
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA® XC
Juvéderm Voluma XC is an injectable gel that lifts the cheek area, instantly adds volume, helps correct sagging, and provides contour to restore a more youthful appearance. Juvéderm Voluma XC is a long-lasting filler with optimal treatment and response.
What Is JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC?
This FDA approved dermal filler is specifically formulated to correct age-related volume loss in your cheeks by adding subtle volume for adults over 21. With age the production of collagen and elastin fiber slows down. When that happens, facial symmetry and volume changes. The most notable areas are along the cheekbones, underneath the eyes and across the jawline. Juvéderm Voluma XC contains hyaluronic acid designed to be injected into the cheeks and help naturally fill the hollow areas of the face and provide excellent results.
The Benefits Of JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC:
KYBELLA®
KYBELLA is an FDA approved deoxycholic acid injectable treatment that permanently eliminates fat cells in the area of submental fullness, also known as a “double chin.”
As we age, our body begins to store fat below the chin. And unfortunately, no matter how much you exercise or eat right, this stubborn fat will remind you it’s there every time you look in the mirror. The good news is KYBELLA is the only FDA approved option that is nonsurgical and capable of getting rid of a double chin safely and effectively.
What Causes A Double Chin?
We all have a layer of protective fat that pads the area around our chin and keeps it cushioned. But as we age this area begins to plump up, more often than not making us look overweight or older, even if the rest of our body is tone and trim. Aside from lack of exercise and a poor diet, a double chin can be the result of age, weak chin muscles or a hereditary predisposition.
How KYBELLA Works
Deoxycholic acid is a molecule that naturally occurs in the body to help break down fats. KYBELLA’s active ingredient is a synthetic version of deoxycholic acid, which, when injected into the fat under the chin, gets rid of unwanted fat cells forever. The product reduces these fat cells that are then naturally shed by the body – with truly impressive results. Another great benefit of KYBELLA is that when these fat cells are destroyed, the deposits under the chin cannot return. This means that once you reach the appearance you want, there is no need to get further treatment.
Am I A Candidate for KYBELLA?
KYBELLA is an effective nonsurgical option that can help you eliminate that stubborn fat under or around the chin area. And it may be right for you if …
RADIESSE®
Radiesse is a calcium hydroxylapatite filler that adds volume to facial tissue and restores a smoother appearance to the face. It is commonly used to create volume and fullness in areas where moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds occur.
What Is RADIESSE?
RADIESSE is an FDA approved dermal filler that encourages your body’s natural collagen production process and reduces volume loss. Collagen is produced by your body to provide skin with support and structure, but this production declines over time as you age. RADIESSE is made with a gel containing microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) suspended within it, and when this gel is injected, it triggers collagen production to smooth your facial skin.
Use It To Minimize:
RESTYLANE®
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler most commonly used to smooth wrinkles and folds in the face, especially around the nose and mouth. Restylane-L contains lidocaine for added comfort.
Restylane & Restylane Lyft
These hyaluronic acid dermal fillers were both designed to replace and refill the naturally occurring acid in the areas of skin where it has been lost. So, what’s the difference between Restylane and Restylane Lyft? The main difference is the overall viscosity and lifting power of the products with the location and severity of wrinkles and folds ultimately being the key determining factor in which filler is best suited for your area of concern.
The areas we treat with Restylane & Restylane Lyft include:
RESTYLANE® DEFYNE
Restylane Defyne is a specifically formulated hyaluronic acid dermal filler made with XpresHAn Technology™ to help fill and smooth marionette lines and any deep nasolabial folds.

The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Defyne is also designed to help support your natural facial expressions. This means this dermal filler’s gel will feel completely natural as you smile, frown or cry and won’t feel stiff at all, providing a degree of flexibility and smoothness not found in many other fillers. It’s like Restylane Refyne, but with subtle differences in consistency and use.
How It Works
Once Restylane Defyne is injected into the targeted deeper wrinkles and folds around the nose and mouth, it immediately begins filling the area for instant smoothing and pluming. This allows you to begin seeing results right away while the hyaluronic acid gets to work drawing in moisture and stimulating collagen and elastin production to restore that more youthful appearance.
Restylane Defyne can be used to:
RESTYLANE KYSSE®
Restylane Kysse is hyaluronic acid filler designed to tenderly add volume to your lips, while increasing the definition to the border of your mouth. This result: a softer natural-looking pout with lasting results.
Restylane Kysse is the first hyaluronic acid lip filler to use XpresHAn Technology™, also known as Optimal Balance Technology that allows the fluid to move with your lips enhancing their natural appearance and restoring volume. That’s what makes Restylane Kysse perfect for those looking for fuller lips and more defined borders to their lips. It can also fill out the area around the lips, to help smooth wrinkles and minimize the fine lines around the mouth.
How Long Does It Last?
Each treatment lasts around 6-9 months, with some of the effects lasting up to 12 months.
RESTYLANE® LYFT
Restylane Lyft is a safe, effective, and dissolvable HA filler specifically designed to create structure in the cheek area and/or add fullness in the backs of the hands by replenishing lost volume.
Restylane Lyft & Restylane
These hyaluronic acid dermal fillers were both designed to replace and refill the naturally occurring acid in the areas of skin where it has been lost. So, what’s the difference between Restylane Lyft and Restylane? The main difference is the overall viscosity and lifting power of the products with the location and severity of wrinkles and folds ultimately being the key determining factor in which filler is best suited for your area of concern.
The areas we treat with Restylane Lyft & Restylane include:
RESTYLANE® REFYNE
Restylane Refyne is a specifically formulated hyaluronic acid dermal filler that helps minimize the lines that run from the corner of your mouth toward the chin, marionette lines, for a more natural look to your face.
Restylane Refyne
The unique cross-linking of the gel in Restylane Refyne is also designed to help support your natural facial expressions. This means this dermal filler’s gel will feel completely natural as you smile, frown or cry and won’t feel stiff at all, providing a degree of flexibility and smoothness not found in many other fillers. It’s like Restylane Defyne, but with a finer consistency for subtle differences specific to treating the muscle and skin movements of each area.
How It Works
Once Restylane Refyne is injected into the mild to moderate wrinkles, folds, and expression lines around the nose and mouth, its smoothing ability becomes immediately noticeable as you see the volume restored to these areas being treated.
You will begin seeing results right away, while the hyaluronic acid gets to work drawing in moisture and stimulating collagen and elastin production to restore that more youthful appearance.
Restylane Refyne can be used to:
RESTYLANE® SILK
Restylane Silk is a hyaluronic acid gel filler offering a natural-looking, subtle lip enhancement to help smooth fine lines around the mouth.
Restylane Silk is one of the newer FDA approved hyaluronic acid soft tissue dermal fillers. It’s specifically formulated with lidocaine for rejuvenation of the lips and lines around the mouth, while providing comfort during the treatment. Restylane Silk is made from long chains of sugars that occur naturally in the skin that are then cross-linked to create a softer consistency that fills in lines for a smooth, youthful appearance. And like other hyaluronic acid fillers, it can be carefully molded and shaped into the desired contour after injection to ensure a natural look.
SCULPTRA® AESTHETIC
Sculptra Aesthetic is made from poly-L-lactic acid and works gradually to stimulate collagen production. It is a long-lasting volumizer.
What is Sculptra Aesthetic?
Sculptra Aesthetic is an injectable filler designed to provide lasting results by gradually building up the skin’s collagen, producing subtle yet noticeable changes that diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, with results that last up to two years.
How Does It Work?
The biocompatible, biodegradable synthetic material, poly-L-lactic acid, used in this filler helps the skin develop a healthier, tighter appearance through rebuilding the collagen that has broken down from the aging process to help correct various levels of facial wrinkles and folds in the skin. It also works to restore volume to sagging areas of the skin, aiding in wrinkle reduction and filling in hollow areas, such as the cheeks and temples, to help create a more youthful look.
