What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal Fillers have arrived at Brandywine Dental Services Group just in time for the Holidays! Dermal Fillers, such as Juvederm®and Volbella, are another great way to rejuvenate the beauty of your smile. Once you have gorgeous teeth, it is time to surround them with a worthy piece of art. The lips and lower face frame the teeth to complete the picture.   Dermal fillers can be used to decrease deep creases and restore the youthful appearance that will help beautify that frame.

How long will Dermal fillers last and how is it done?  Beginning with the lower face, fillers are injected just under the skin to fill out creases in the nasolabial folds that run from the corners of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These are often referred to as "parentheses" lines. The creases deepen as we age,but can often be completely eliminated with the use of dermal fillers!

The second area to be enhanced are the lips. As we age our lips start to thin and the lines above the lip increase in number and severity. By injecting fillers into the borders of the lips, we can plump these areas and restore a more youthful appearance. This same treatment softens those pesky lines above the upper lip. These treatments are a great value since they last from a year to 18 months.

How long is the dermal filler appointment? Is it painful? A dermal filler visit is short in duration, taking only about 30 minutes to complete.  Many times the visit can be added on to your regularly scheduled dental appointment.  The treatments themselves cause only mild discomfort that goes away within minutes and the results are amazing! We will do everything that we can to make sure you are comfortable throughout the entire visit. This small investment of time can take years away from your face, leaving a long lasting youthful smile.  I welcome you to stop in for an evaluation at Brandywine Dental Services Group today, or simply give a call at (610) 459-1344 and add a dermal filler consultation to your regularly scheduled visit!
