Fillers are compounds that are injected directly into the skin to "fill" unwanted facial lines and depressions. When administered by a well-trained, artistic hand they can help to achieve a more youthful appearance and restore smooth contours to the skin. The consistency and longevity varies between the different fillers. At The Aesthetic Center at Lone Star Dermatology we offer many different fillers so that they can be tailored to your specific needs. |
