Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers

Our skin loses elasticity and volume as we age, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and hollow areas. Dermal fillers are a non-invasive solution that is intended to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. At Oasis Aesthetics and Wellness in Pompano Beach, FL, we offer a variety of dermal fillers that will help you achieve a refreshed appearance without invasive procedures.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

These are injectable treatments that add volume beneath the skin to plump areas affected by aging, such as the cheeks, lips, and under-eye region. They are made from substances such as hyaluronic acid (HA), calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid, which help to enhance facial volume, smooth wrinkles, and improve skin hydration. Dermal fillers provide immediate, natural-looking results with minimal downtime, which makes them a popular choice for those seeking non-surgical facial rejuvenation.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers provide a versatile, customizable solution for individuals looking to enhance their appearance. The key benefits of dermal fillers include:

  • Non-Surgical Volume Restoration: This treatment is used to restore volume to cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds without surgery.
  • Immediate Results: Unlike other treatments that take time to develop, dermal fillers offer immediate improvement in the treated areas.
  • Natural-Looking Enhancements: When performed by experienced practitioners, fillers provide subtle enhancements that maintain the natural contours of your face.
  • Minimal Downtime: You can resume your usual activities right after the procedure for most filler treatments.
  • Versatility: Dermal fillers can treat a wide range of concerns, from plumping thin lips to softening marionette lines and enhancing cheek volume.
