WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

These FDA approved products, which may be made with collagen, hyaluronic acid, or calcium hydroxylapatite.

How Does It Work?
Fillers basically restore lost volume to your face and plump areas to smooth any deep-set fine lines or wrinkles. Moreover, as we get older, our bodies stop producing collagen and elastin, both of which contribute to the youthful look. Collagen and elastin levels will decline at a rate of about 2% per year. Then the body will stop producing it altogether by the late twenties.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Areas Do Dermal Fillers Treat?
Nasolabial Folds
Dr. Bacha applies dermal fillers just under the skin in the nasolabial fold area or the upper cheek area. This will give the cheeks a lift, making the nasolabial folds less noticeable.
Cheeks
Treatment with dermal fillers is entirely non-surgical and is performed right in Dr. Bacha’s office. During the cheek enhancement procedure, the filler material can be injected in several ways, such as: above the cheekbones to achieve more definition or a “chiseled” look & into the soft tissue of the cheeks, “lifting” the area to correct an aged or sunken appearance.
Lips
Injectable dermal fillers are the most common method of lip augmentation. Dr. Bacha uses Juvederm and Volbella that contain naturally occurring substances similar to hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid fillers can help restore lost volume, improve the shape and structure of the lips.
Deep Lines & Wrinkles
In this case, the ingredient plumps out where the wrinkles may occur in the injected area. Some see the filler as a healthier option than Botox. Dermal fillers rely on strong hyaluronic acid to work. The ingredients assist your skin in absorbing water, giving it a plumper appearance.
Dermal fillers are effective, and the results last longer than results from Botox overall. However, effectiveness depends on the product, the area of treatment, and the patient. Moreover, the denser the product is and the more deeply the injection is, the longer it will last, although this is not a hard and fast rule. To maintain your results, Dr. Bacha will simply repeat treatment, adjusting the amount and techniques as necessary to ensure optimal results.
