Dermal Fillers
Injectablefillers–sometimes referred to as liquid facelifts, nonsurgical nose jobs, and facelifts in a syringe– are one of the most significant breakthroughs in cosmetic enhancement in the past decade. They provide a safe, non-surgical way of maintaining youthfulness by successfully stimulating the production of your own collagen, thereby providing long lasting effects.
Injectable Fillers are best for treating premature wrinkles and replacing volume loss in the face. Many patients prefer to use their own autologous fat, taken from another part of the body, to naturally restore what they have lost in their face. This procedure is easily and safely accomplished in our Center under local anesthesia.
Some injectable fillers are injected into the nose to fill depressions, change the shape of the tip or smooth out bumps. This nonsurgical nose reshaping is an in-office procedure. It is a safe, non-invasive alternative to traditional surgical nose surgery (rhinoplasty).
With a nonsurgical 360-facelift performed by Dr. Hopping, you can enjoy the rejuvenating effects of an enhancing facelift with little to no downtime. This procedure includes a threading, Botox, and chemical peel combination to smooth wrinkles, revolumize facial skin, and completely revitalize your appearance for a radiant, youthful glow.
Lip Fillers in Washington DC
Typically made with hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body, dermal fillers for lips are an excellent treatment for restoring volume loss, plumping and hydrating your lips, and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth.
Why Choose Lip Fillers?
Lip fillers such as Restylane are safe and easily customized to your specific needs, capable of solving a variety of issues like lack of volume or lipstick lines. Lip injections are also minimally invasive and require no downtime, nor do they pose significant risk when injected by a professional.
What Do Lip Filler Injections Feel Like?
Appointments are quick and easy, rarely taking longer than an hour. You’ll be surprised to see how painless lip injections are as well, thanks to the numbing cream used prior to your injections. Most patients only feel a quick pinch, if anything at all.
When Will I See Lip Filler Results?
Patients sometimes experience swelling or bruising, but this is usually temporary and resolves itself within 24 hours, so don’t judge your results too quickly. Your lips will immediately look fuller, healthier, and smoother after your appointment, so you won’t have to wait long to enjoy your fillers.
Am I a Good Candidate for Lip Fillers?
Ideal candidates are healthy non-smokers looking to address common concerns such as asymmetry, wrinkles, and lack or loss of volume. Whether you’re seeking a natural-looking pout or dramatic plumpness, lip fillers are a powerful cosmetic treatment easily personalized to your needs.
