What Are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers (sometimes called wrinkle fillers) are a popular solution for men and women who want to replace lost volume around the face for a younger, “fuller” look. The face can lose volume for a number of reasons, but age and significant weight loss are two of the most common factors. This treatment works by injecting the filler beneath the skin to fill sunken or hollowed areas. Injectable fillers are a promising, nonsurgical option for St. Louis, MO clients wanting to even out fine lines, sagging skin, and/or wrinkles to create a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers can also be added to other aesthetic treatments to reveal the results of a facelift without needing to undergo invasive surgery. There are a variety of fillers that could help meet the goals and expectations of each individual. To decide which products are right for you, we encourage you to visit The Health & Wellness Center where our lead provider, Dr. Secil Schodroski, can help you make this decision.
Request an AppointmentHow Do Filler Injections Work?
Ahead of your treatment, Dr. Schodroski will meet with you to discuss the areas you wish to address and determine which of our filler options would be appropriate for you. To start the procedure, a member of our team will administer numbing cream as a local anesthetic to minimize the discomfort of the injections. Dr. Schodroski will use her experience to determine the amount of filler that is appropriate and will continuously and gently inject it via a very fine needle. Keeping the desired result in mind, either a portion or an entire syringe could be used during the procedure.
