dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines and soften creases, or enhance facial contours. More than 1 million men and women annually have choosen this popular facial rejuvenation treatment, which can be a cost-effective way to look younger without surgery and downtime.  Dermal fillers are commonly utilized to smooth out lines around the nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses), enhance and restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples, diminish vertical lip lines, plump and enhance the lips, smooth out chin creases and improve symmetry among facial features.  Dr. Triolo prefers the Juvederm line of dermal fillers composed of hyaluronic acid(HA) which is a naturally occurring substance that is already found in your skin. Hyaluronic acid helps keep skin plump and hydrated. HA fillers are typically soft and gel-like. The results last 6 to 12 months or longer before the body gradually and naturally absorbs the particles. Most HA fillers are infused with lidocaine, an anesthetic, to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment. When selecting a provider for injectable treatments, give your decision the same level of care and scrutiny that you would for any other medical procedure. Non-surgical filler treatment is still considered a medical procedure that requires specific training, knowledge and skill to ensure safe treatment and natural-looking results. Choose a provider like Dr. Triolo with an extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, a well-developed aesthetic eye, and a surgeon’s skill and precision.
