DERMAL FILLERS
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers are a type of cosmetic injectable used to restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. When it comes to addressing nasolabial folds and marionette lines, dermal fillers are commonly used to soften the appearance of these facial creases and rejuvenate the overall appearance of the face.

PROCEDURE
During a dermal filler treatment for nasolabial folds and marionette lines I will carefully inject the filler into the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. The procedure is relatively quick and generally well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Some fillers also contain lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to enhance patient comfort during the injection process.
RESULTS
The results of dermal filler treatments for nasolabial folds and marionette lines are typically immediate, with noticeable improvement in the appearance of the treated areas. Over time, the filler gradually integrates with the surrounding tissue, providing long-lasting enhancement. Depending on the type of filler used and individual metabolism, results can last anywhere from six months to two years or more.
