Dermal fillers are an essential part of our nonsurgical facelift. This procedure combines injectables like Botox® and fillers to provide dramatic, minimally invasive rejuvenation. While a nonsurgical facelift isn’t as long-lasting or dramatic as a surgical facelift, it is an ideal treatment option for many patients who want to look younger without the downtime or risk of surgery.

The cost of dermal filler treatments varies widely depending on the amount of product needed and the specific fillers used. We’ll talk about pricing and payment options during your pre-appointment consultation.

We want our patients to enjoy a comfortable treatment experience when receiving injectable fillers. Most patients tolerate the procedure easily because of the quick injections, small needle size, and anesthetic included in many filler formulations. If you’re nervous or if you’re receiving fillers in a sensitive facial location, ask us for a topical anesthetic to numb your skin before receiving your injections.
