Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers Bucks County and Princeton, NJ

Years of exposure to sunlight, aging, disease, or injury can damage the supporting soft tissue of the outer layer of the skin. The result is a loss of youthful facial contours. Today we know that much of the look and signs of aging is due to a decrease in the volume of the skin or lipoatrophy. Increasing this lost volume with dermal filler agents such as Restylane®, Radiesse®,  Juvederm and Cosmoderm® instantly restores and renews giving the appearance of facial lift.

These dermal filler products are FDA-approved and have demonstrated their safety and effectiveness. Unlike bovine collagen, these dermal fillers do not elicit a chronic inflammatory or immune response and do not require allergy testing. These treatments fill and correct smile lines, nasolabial folds and wrinkles around the nose and mouth creating volume, resulting in a healthy and vital appearance. When injected into the lip it can restore a more natural and sensuous look.
