A natural beauty lift.

Smoothing out folds and wrinkles or giving your mouth a fuller, more sensuous form can make an enormous difference in your appearance. This can now be carried out without the use of foreign substances. The following product gives shape with the body's own natural material called hyaluronic acid which binds water in your skin, to lift and give new firmness.

Dermal filler is a long lasting skin filler that treats wrinkles, smile lines, furrows and scars. Dermal filler consists of calcium crystals suspended in a special gel. By supplementing your skin's depleted collagen with Dermal filler, our doctor at BHAAG can smooth out your wrinkles, nanolabial folds, and most scars. It is a safe, effective, time-tested, in-office wrinkle treatment that provides immediate and lasting results (it can last years!).

What areas respond best to Dermal filler treatments?

• Smile lines between the nose and lip corners
• Wrinkles around the mouth and lips
• Lip enhancement
• Depressed scars
  

What are Dermal filler treatments like?
At BHAAG, a Dermal filler treatment takes about fifteen minutes. Dermal filler is injected into the wrinkle, through a tiny needle, and placed just under your skin. The result with Dermal filler is immediate, so you can determine at first glance if you are happy with the result or if you would like more Dermal filler injected. Usually one treatment is sufficient because Dermal filler is not absorbed by your body and is long lasting.

Some of the benefits of the Dermal filler are:

• Results are immediate.
• It cannot provoke any allergic reaction.
• It is soft and remains pliable for years.
• It is cost-effective because it is long lasting.
• There is no need to harvest tissue from another site on your body.
• Dermal filler can be used alone or in conjunction with other facial rejuvenation procedures such as laser skin rejuvenation, chemical peels or facial surgery.
  

What can I expect after my treatment with Dermal filler?
Patients are up and around immediately after receiving their Dermal filler treatments. You can expect greatly improved wrinkles, enhanced lips or smoothed-out depressed scars. Any discomfort following the procedure can be controlled with medication. The treatment site may have a little swelling, which may last 24 to 36 hours depending on the area treated. There may be some slight bruising at the injection site, which can be covered with make-up.

How long will the results last?
Depending on the area treated, most of your correction may last for several months or years. Some touch-up treatments may be needed.
