Dermal fillers can be applied to deep wrinkles and facial folds such nasolabial folds or smile lines to enhance the appearance and createt a more youtful look. Many individuals begin to see these signs of aging in their 40's - although younger people with prominent cheeks may also have nasolabial folds. Dermal fillers can also address the hollowing of the skin and the volume lost to aging. Dr. Vafa performs an individual facial analysis for each patient and determines the type and amount of filler needed for the most natural looking results. Dermal fillers and wrinkle fillers are priced per syringe and prices vary among different fillers. Dr. Vafa will discuss the type of dermal filler and the number of syringes needed for each individual procedure during a consultation with the patient.*

*results can vary based on individual conditions

After the age of 50 we lose 1% of our dermal collagen, elastins and hyaluronans per year. As a result we experience facial changes such as*:

• A thinning dermis
• Hollowing of the cheeks and mouth areas
• Deepening lines in nasolabial folds
• Descending fat pads due to gravity
• Greater bony landmarks
• Thinning of the lips
• Flattening of the upper ridges from the nose to the mouth
• Dropping of the mouth corners causing loss of support for the lip and leading to "marionette" lines
• Drooping of the nasal tip
• Decreasing support of lower third portion of the face

Today we can replace the hollowing of the skin and the volume lost to aging with a number of filler materials available. Dermal fillers (or wrinkle fillers) are also used to augment the size and shape of the lips (lip augmentation).*

A very tiny needle is all that is needed for the procedure. Some patients report minor and temporary discomfort from the injection.*

This depends entirely on the patient, but a single treatment will normally be sustained for approximately three to nine months. You will notice a gradual fading of its effects. At this point you will return to your doctor for your next treatment.
