The natural collagen and elastin in the skin lessens as we age. Our skin becomes dryer, thinner and less able to restore itself causing fine lines and wrinkles to develop. Lifting and smoothing targeted folds and wrinkles by adding subtle volume, dermal fillers can give you a fresher more youthful look.

Wrinkle relaxants work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles. Wrinkle relaxants can also be used to treat conditions such as TMJ, migraines and hyperhidrosis.

For dermal fillers, the procedure takes approximately 45 minutes. 

For wrinkle relaxants the appointment is approximately 20 minutes.

With dermal filler treatments, the results are immediate. Please allow two weeks for product to fully settle and see final results.

With wrinkle relaxant treatments, results can take a few days up to 10 days.

With dermal fillers, there can be some slight bruising and/or swelling that accompanies it.

Please allow two weeks for final results and all products to fully settle.

Facial fillers work for a wide range of patients. They are used not only for rejuvenating skin, and reducing lines and wrinkles, but also for adding volume to your face. Fillers help to restore the volume loss that naturally begins to occur as we age and creates a fresher, brighter appearance. They are also a great option for you if you would like to contour your face to enhance your features or plump your lips.

These treatments aren’t suitable for those under 18 years.

Although there is no known risk to patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, we do not recommend having this treatment under these circumstances.

The results should be subtle, leaving our friends and family believing that we are simply looking our best.

It depends on your personal preference and the areas you would like to target. For example, if you are looking to treat fine lines on your forehead or around your eyes, we would likely recommend a wrinkle relaxant. If you are concerned about lines around your mouth or hollowness in your face, or if you are interested in achieving fuller lips, we would recommend a dermal filler.
