Cosmetic injection to a pretty woman's faceAs we age, our faces begin to lose volume and develop wrinkles. Over time, these effects become more apparent, making many people look older than they really are. If this sounds like you, perhaps you should consider undergoing cosmetic treatment with injectable fillers.

What Are Injectable Fillers?

Injectable fillers are substances that are made out of materials that are naturally found in the body, such as hyaluronic acid and calcium hydroxylapatite. Using a very fine needle and the steady hand of an experienced cosmetic professional, these substances are directly injected into specific areas around the face to provide immediate improvement for fine lines and wrinkles.

Injectable fillers can do the following:

  • Eliminate brow creases

  • Diminish crow’s feet

  • Restore facial fullness

  • Reduce smile lines

  • Plump lips

  • Fill in scars
