Dermal fillers can add immediate volume to your face, lift and tighten sagging skin, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles for a younger looking appearance. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that your body produces. The main function of hyaluronic acid is to retain water and keep your tissues hydrated. As part of the natural aging process and exposure to the sun, hyaluronic acid typically decreases in your skin. By replacing lost volume with hyaluronic acid, dermal fillers can instantly plump and restore, redefine facial features, and smoothen fine lines and wrinkles.

Fillers are one of the best tools a cosmetic dermatologist has to safely and naturally turn back the hands of time. Dermal fillers can instantly diminish fine lines and wrinkles, add back lost volume, and/or restore youthful contours. ShanthiMD offers patients a full range of dermal fillers that can be used to:

• Restore youthful volume to cheeks, lips, temples, and around the mouth

• Lift and support cheeks

• Soften under eye hollows

• Fill in nasolabial folds and lift downturned corners at the side of your mouth (avoiding a persistent sad or angry expression at rest)

• Smooth fine lines and wrinkles (frown lines, smiles lines, lip lines)

• Define jawline and chin

• Lessen the appearance of traumatic, surgical, and acne scars

At your consultation for dermal fillers, you are encouraged to discuss the areas of your face you’d like to enhance, and your board certified cosmetic dermatologist at ShanthiMD will recommend the perfect combination of treatments to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. The ideal filler choice depends on a combination of skin thickness, age, facial anatomy, treatment location, and more. No single filler is ideal for all purposes and/or locations of the face.
