Injectable Fillers
Our dermal fillers consist of a clear gel containing hyaluronic acid (HA) infused with lidocaine for enhanced comfort during and after injection. Hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, helps maintain hydration. The results of our fillers typically last between six months to over two years, depending on the filler type, injected amount, and treatment area.
If you're ready to revitalize your appearance, schedule your appointment for injectable fillers with Advanced Dermatology of North Central Ohio today. Our experienced injectors provide complimentary consultations to guide you through the collections, ensuring you achieve the rejuvenation you desire.
