Dermal fillers are injectable soft gels that are used to fill in folds in the skin or wrinkles. Many dermal fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, which is a hydrating substance that is found naturally in one’s skin. Soft tissue fillers offer long-lasting, but not permanent, results.
About the Process
As we age, we start to lose hyaluronic acid and therefore the skin loses volume and some structure. Dermal fillers allow us to replace some of the lost volume, thus giving the skin a renewed youthful look. Some dermal fillers have additional components in them that encourage the body to build its own collagen.
Once you have discussed your particular treatment options and plan with our Singer Cosmetics team, the treatment itself is typically not a long appointment and results are instantly noticeable. There may be minor inflammation from the treatment and so final results may look a little different after a day or two.

It is very uncommon for there to be adverse effects from dermal fillers. Nonetheless, it is possible for there to be minor bruising associated with any injectable. Our office may recommend certain pre or post procedure medications to take or stop taking to lessen the chance of any bruising.
