Dermal fillers can do so much more than just fill lines.
Dermal Fillers work by supporting the dermal layer by actually filling in areas where volume has been lost or where there are shadows. For instance, fillers are used in the mid-face to build cheeks, in the cheekbone area, under the eyes in the tear trough, in the nasolabial folds and marionette lines (smile lines as they are often referred to), to add fullness to the lips and fill superficial lines above the lip line, to build the chin, and even to restore the jawline or hide jowls.
Dermal fillers take anywhere from fifteen to sixty minutes and are done comfortably by prepping with numbing cream alone or numbing injections alone. Typically, numbing cream is applied to the area being treated with Dermal Fillers to anesthetize the area before the treatment begins. Often that is all that is necessary for a comfortable injection experience.
For lip filler injections, the option of numbing with two tiny lidocaine injections – a “dental block” – is available. These blocks make for painless lip filler injections and are completely optional. In particular areas of the face, we also employ the cannula technique to further enhance comfort and lessen the risk of bruising following filler injections.
Morpheus8 can be used anywhere on the body, including the abdomen or buttocks, though it’s most popular for the face, jawline, jowls, and neck.
