Dermal Filler in Wilmington, NC

Our injectors are skilled in the most effective techniques and will keep you informed at all times. Your comfort is our priority! The fillers we use also have lidocaine- an anesthetic that helps with discomfort. For lips, we use an advanced numbing technique that makes it painless.

Dermal filler and Botox work in very different ways. Filler adds structure, support, and volume to areas that have become hollow, flat, or less defined over time. Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify relax the muscles that cause expression lines, like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.

In many cases, these treatments work well together. Filler is best for restoring volume and enhancing facial balance, while Botox treats movement-related wrinkles. During your consultation, we will help you decide whether filler, Botox, or a combination of both is the best fit for your goals.

We use hyaluronic acid fillers, a substance your body naturally produces that helps keep skin hydrated and supported. These fillers are FDA-approved, versatile, and can be adjusted or dissolved if needed.

Common treatment areas include the lips, cheeks, chin, jawline, temples, under-eyes, smile lines, and lines around the mouth.

Before your appointment, avoid alcohol for 24 hours if possible. If approved by your medical provider, you may also want to avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements for several days beforehand to help reduce the chance of bruising. If you have a history of cold sores, let us know before treatment. It is also best to avoid scheduling filler right before a major event.

After filler, avoid heavy exercise, excessive heat, alcohol, and pressure on the treated areas for the rest of the day unless your provider tells you otherwise.
