Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by the skin cells of the body. However, its production decreases with age. The dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid and are injected directly underneath the skin to plump up these areas. They can last for about six months before being fully absorbed by the body. Why choose a dentist to do it? Unlike estheticians, dermatologists, nurses, and surgeons who can perform fillers, the dentist also has the ability, knowledge, and experience to deliver local anesthesia to make the filler injection a more enjoyable experience. In addition, the dentist has years of training and studying facial and oral anatomy.

If you are interested in dermal fillers, you can request consultation to address your concerns and to see if dermal filler is a right procedure for your facial esthetics. Other options such as Botox or (Polydiaxanone) PDO threading may be used in conjunction or instead of dermal filler.
