Dermal fillers are injectable gels, most often made from hyaluronic acid, that restore lost volume, soften lines and refine facial structure. Because hyaluronic acid binds water, these gels also add hydration and move naturally with expression. Our filler family covers the lips, cheeks and midface, smile lines, under eyes, jawline and chin, each with its own technique.
Choosing the right option starts with your face, not a menu. At our Merrick office, your injector assesses proportions, volume loss and skin quality, then recommends which areas to treat, which product firmness suits each, and whether a collagen stimulator like Sculptra would serve you better, so results look balanced rather than overfilled.

What to Expect
Your visit begins with a facial assessment and an honest conversation about your goals, often using a mirror or photos. Your injector maps the areas to treat and explains product choices. Once the skin is cleansed and numbed, product is placed gradually and shaped as you go. Expect mild swelling, tenderness or bruising for a few days. Avoid strenuous exercise for a day, and return in about two weeks for a review.
