Ringing in the new year is our cue to re-evaluate what we want most for ourselves, with the opportunity to set new goals. We vow to eat healthier, drink more water and commit to a workout regimen. Many of us decide to invest in ourselves both inside and out so we can look our best as we face the year ahead.

As the years pass, we lose volume in our faces and our facial contours change. Dermal fillers are the most effective way to restore youthful contours and fullness. At Compass Dermatology, we offer several filler options.

Dermal fillers can:

• Smooth away marionette lines and folds around the mouth and jowls
• Volumize lips
• Soften hollows under the eyes and at the temples
• Define and add volume to the cheeks

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is the most common dermal filler. It is a naturally occurring sugar substance in the skin. HA fillers are a safe and effective method of soft-tissue augmentation.

With HA fillers, you see immediate results upon injection and the effect persists for up to 12-18 months.

Certain hyaluronic acid fillers are designed for use deep in the skin, where a thicker gel gives better lift. Other HA fillers are softer and optimal for more superficial use or for lip augmentation.
