Consultation
Dr. Rogers and his team will be happy to answer any questions you have about Antiwrinkle and Dermal Fillers during a private consultation.
They will examine your skin closely and assess your health history and medication use to make sure these procedures are safe and appropriate for you. Once they have completed a thorough assessment goals & expectations will be discussed in order to create a treatment plan both you & your practitioner are happy with.
What are Fillers?
The main ingredient in fillers is Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally-occurring molecule within the body. The Hyaluronic Acid molecule is moisture-retentive and plays an important role in keeping elastin and collagen in the skin healthy.
The natural ageing process reduces the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid in our skin, which causes deep lines and a reduced facial volume.
Hyaluronic acid will fill deep lines and increase volume in targeted areas so these fillers achieve results that look and feel natural. Hyaluronic acid has the additional benefit of stimulating collagen production within the skin, which helps to extend and complement the outcomes of the injection.
