What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables often made of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, poly-l-lactic acid, polymethylmethacrylate, or autologous fat (fat from parts of the body). Fillers can plump the skin, increase collagen production, and reduce undesirable signs of aging.

What should I expect during dermal filler injections?
When you arrive at Dr. Schwarcz’s office for dermal filler injections, you relax in a comfortable chair. He can numb the treatment area to optimize comfort. Dr. Schwarcz injects filler materials just beneath your skin at targeted areas. The procedure might last about 10 minutes, but every patient is different.
What happens after my treatment?
Because there’s no downtime associated with dermal fillers, you can resume a normal routine immediately. You notice results right away, which improve over the next few days. The effects of dermal fillers last a few months up to a year (or longer) in some cases. Repeat injections help you maintain a youthful look long term.
Don’t live with lines, wrinkles, and sagging or sunken-in skin when noninvasive treatments can take years off your appearance. Call the office of Robert. M. Schwarcz, MD, today or use the online booking feature to explore dermal fillers in greater detail.
