Dermal Fillers in Plainview, NY

Dermal filler injections (or simply fillers) are often injected to replenish lost facial volume. The face can lack volume for a number of reasons, but age and significant weight loss are major contributors. This treatment works by incorporating a liquid (the dermal filler) under the surface of the skin to fill in areas lacking volume or shape. Injectable dermal fillers are a promising, minimally invasive option for Plainview, NY women and men wanting to smooth sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines in order to create a younger-looking facial appearance. Dermal fillers can also be added to other aesthetic procedures to achieve the results of a traditional facelift without the need for surgery, surgical scars, and the associated downtime that follows. Many different types of fillers may help meet the requests and desires of each individual.
