Dermal fillers at Earthwinds Wellness are made with hyaluronic acid gel that is injected under the skin to smooth the appearance of wrinkles and provide fullness to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a fantastic way to help boost your skin’s volume, as it works continually by attracting water to the area. In other words, you get even better results over time.
Areas most frequently treated are nasolabial folds (folds by your mouth and nose), oral commissures (wrinkles near your lips), lips, and glabellar area (between the brows).
Dermal fillers create immediate improvement in skin depressions and wrinkles in the appropriate patient population. When used with botulinum toxin, fillers can diminish or eliminate the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
You may experience a slight burning sensation during injections. The procedure takes about 20-30 minutes. Results last approximately six months.
