Dermal Fillers
Fillers can help restore the look of youth to your face by restoring the volume that age has depleted and by filling in deep wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions and sun damage. The goal of augmentative fillers is to raise the wrinkle and/or sunken area to the same surface of the surrounding skin by filling it with a replacement material.

The corrugator and procerus muscle are the muscles located in the eyebrows and between them and are the brow depressors are muscles involved in pulling your brows down towards your eyes. The crows feet or squinting muscles is the orbicularis muscle and extends around the entire eye and is responsible for blinking. Only the outer 25% of this muscle is treated as to avoid any issues with the patients blink. Sometimes selected muscles of the face around the nose or chin may also be recommended for treatment depending on patient anatomy.
