Dermal Fillers

A new and innovative way to compensate for this breakdown of support structure and restore youth and fullness is to inject filler substances into the skin. These fillers, which include hyaluronic acid and collagen, are used to plump up wrinkles, creases and sunken areas of the face and to add fullness to the cheeks and lips. Certain types of depressed acne scars can also be filled with dermal fillers.

Most dermal fillers are comprised of substances that are naturally present in the body. Several different dermal fillers are artistically used by Dr. Joseph C. Galitzin at Skin Care at 5th Ave. to allow optimal treatment of various applications. Dr. Galitzin will advise you as to the appropriate dermal filler for your particular needs. Dermal fillers last between 4-12 months depending on the product used. As the face is constantly changing, permanent fillers are not available at this time.
