Dermal Fillers
What are dermal fillers?
Like Botox, dermal fillers have been FDA approved for cosmetic use since the 1980s. Dermal fillers can be used in a variety of places throughout the face to restore lost volume due to age, correct asymmetries, soften deep wrinkles and create contour and structure to certain areas. Unlike Botox, which is injected to weaken certain muscles that create wrinkles, dermal fillers can help fill in deep wrinkles that cannot be treated with Botox alone.
