Dermal fillers are popular cosmetic treatment options for people who want to add volume to their face. Or address concerns like wrinkles and fine lines.
Dermal filler treatments are quick, and you will see results immediately. A topical anesthetic will be applied to numb the area and make the injection less painful. You might experience some swelling or bruise depending on filler placement.
The lifespan of filler depends on many factors. These factors include your body’s metabolism and formulation of the filler. Each filler has a gel-like consistency for flawless and natural-looking results.

We all show signs of aging. The only way our skin could not have any sun damage or other impacts from the environment would be if we were vampires. While that could be a good thing to be in this scariest of months, it’s not really an effective anti-aging strategy. Plus, you’d still have declining collagen production — it drops by one additional percentage point every year after our 20th birthday — so you’d still be producing 30 percent less collagen on your 50th birthday than you did on your 20th. And declining collagen means less structural support for your […]
Most people assume that all wrinkles are created equal. You’ve seen one wrinkle, you’ve seen them all, right? Nope. There are actually two types of wrinkles: static wrinkles and dynamic wrinkles. Since we treat both of these wrinkle types with dermal fillers and neuromodulators, respectively, at Bryn Mawr Facial Aesthetics, let’s get into the difference.
Static vs. dynamic
Static wrinkles hang around all the time. That’s because they are caused by damage to the skin and by declining collagen production levels as we age. Static wrinkles are to be found on the mid to lower face: beneath the eyes and all around […]

HOW DO HYALURONIC ACID FILLERS WORK?

As the name suggests, HA fillers fill in fine lines and creases. These […]

So much attention is given to certain parts of the face, such as the eyes or the lips, that it is easy to forget that beauty does not stem from any one area, but from overall symmetry. Skilled cosmetic surgeons know this, and they harness proven procedures, technologies, and techniques to provide each patient with the level of care needed to draw beauty from the inside out. One way that we do this is by shaping under projected chins with dermal fillers.
Chin definition is an important aspect of facial balance. The chin directly affects the appearance of the nose and […]
When performed well, wrinkle fillers can minimize fine lines and create a more rested, youthful appearance.

That being said, there are still some things you should consider to make sure the treatment is safe:
Choose a medical setting. Do not attempt to have wrinkle filler treatments in a spa, resort or […]
