Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face.
As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat pads. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so lines become more apparent.
The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.
What dermal fillers can do:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
- Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids
- Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery.

Dermaplaning
Dermaplaning is a non-invasive skincare procedure that exfoliates the surface layers of the skin through the use of a scalpel and reduces the appearance of deep, pitted acne scars, resulting in a smoother and more even complexion.
Dermaplaning is designed to treat the small, but deep scars that sometimes result from cystic acne. Gentler versions of dermaplaning are sometimes used as exfoliating or hair-removal treatments.
Dermaplaning may be an attractive option for those seeking to improve the tone and texture of their skin, or remove deep scars from acne without the possibility of irritation from chemical peels and the expense of laser skin resurfacing. Although no treatment can fully eliminate all scars or flaws, dermaplaning typically produces excellent results.1

Microneedling
Microneedling is the insertion of very fine short, sterilized needles into the skin for rejuvenation.
