Dermal Fillers
Dermal Fillers: Radiesse + Belotero Balance
Overview
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to add volume, restore youthful contours, and improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face. One of the key benefits of dermal fillers is that they can provide immediate results without the need for invasive surgery or downtime. Additionally, dermal fillers can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual patient, making it a versatile treatment option. Other benefits of dermal fillers include their ability to stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps keep skin firm and youthful-looking. They can also be used to restore lost volume in areas of the face that have begun to sag or hollow with age. Overall, dermal fillers are a safe and effective way to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance, and their results can last for several months to a year.
