ABOUT DERMAL
Dermals are injectable treatments made from various biocompatible materials, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or poly-L-lactic acid. These fillers are used to add volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, providing a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
How it Works
During your complimentary consultation, we will evaluate your skin condition, facial structure, and your concerns to select the best product for your needs. Filler will then be injected into your desired treatment area to add structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The procedure can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on your selected treatment area(s). Mild swelling, bruising, and soreness may occur. You will see your results immediately and can last 6-24 months depending on filler and area.

Please arrive with clean, makeup-free skin so that we may complete proper assessment & determine where to make injections. Avoid NSAIDS (i.e. Ibuprofen®, Advil®, Motrin®, Aleve®, Celebrex®), Fish oil, Gingko Biloba, St. John’s Wort and high doses of Vitamin E for one week prior to injection.
Avoid Retin-A, Tretinoin, and Retinoids for three days prior to injection. Do not drink alcohol for 24 hours prior to injection. If bruise easily, may start Arnica tablets one day prior to treatment.

Dermal fillers contain lidocaine, a common anesthetic, which helps patients tolerate the minor pinching feeling associated with injections. Injectable lidocaine and topical numbing agents can be utilized to lesson discomfort.
Additionally, applying ice before and after the procedure can lessen the discomfort. We also offer distraction items, such as a vibration tool and squeeze balls.
