Dermal Fillers
Usually the first visible signs of aging begin with lines and wrinkles from repeated facial expressions, which may be temporarily diminished or even eliminated by the use of BOTOX® Cosmetic. As the aging process continues, our facial skin loses its moisture and natural support structures, such as collagen and elastin, which help keep skin supple and youthful; this eventually leads to skin creases and folds. At the same time, we also start to lose fat under our skin and gravity takes effect, creating dark under-eye circles and making our cheeks appear hollow and even flattened.
Hope is not lost, as soft tissue fillers can be injected directly into or beneath the skin to help soften the effects of aging by restoring facial volume. These fillers can bring new life to tired eyes, plump and lift the cheeks, contour the chin, reduce or even eliminate smile and marionette lines, and be injected into thin lips for added fullness. Soft tissue fillers can provide a smoother and more youthful look, with virtually no downtime or need for recovery. They can also be used as an adjunct to facial rejuvenation surgery.
Treatment takes about 30 minutes with instant results lasting anywhere between six months to several years (depending on which filler is used).
One week prior to your treatment with filler, avoid taking St. John's Wort, aspirin, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, e.g. Advil, and high doses of Vitamin E supplements. These agents may increase bleeding and bruising at the injection site.

Liquid-Facelift:
A liquid facelift is a versatile, highly customizable in-office procedure in which hyaluronic acid fillers are injected in precisely targeted areas. The most commonly used are JUVÉDERM® Collection of Fillers. At a typical filler appointment 1-2 syringes are used but with liquid facelift a number of syringes are used to add and revitalize volume, define your chin and jawline, and can address a variety of concerns to make you appear years younger.
This is a minimally invasive anti-aging solution because it provides fewer risks and complications than a surgical procedure, and also requires no downtime. The effects of a liquid facelift can last up to two years if you have a full correction and minor adjustments can also be made in between that time frame to help keep your desired look.
