Facial volume loss and wrinkling can be problematic for many patients. No one wants to look in the mirror and see an older version of themselves. To restore facial volume and improve contour, a dermal filler procedure can be performed. The procedure is very popular because it is safe, effective, and minimally invasive. State-of-the-art dermal filler treatments performed by Dr. Weber involve a personalized and goal-oriented approach that gives patients immediate and long-lasting results.
Are there risks associated with the dermal filler procedure?

What is the difference between dermal fillers and BOTOX?
BOTOX and dermal fillers are used to treat similar conditions. The distinguishing factor between the two is the mechanism of action. BOTOX temporarily paralyzes facial muscles. Dermal fillers fill areas of the face that have been the subject of volume loss or scarring. BOTOX works on dynamic wrinkles, or those associated with muscle movement, while fillers work on static lines and folds and areas of deflation in the face.
How do I know if a BOTOX or dermal filler procedure is right for me?
Patients who are trying to decide between having BOTOX or a dermal filler procedure are encouraged to ask Dr. Weber for his well-considered opinion regarding which procedure will best treat their condition. BOTOX works on certain dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines, while fillers work on static wrinkles.
What types of conditions can a dermal filler procedure treat?
Dermal filler procedures are commonly used to treat smile lines, smoker lines, lower eyelid bags, deflated cheekbones, hollow temples, and thin lips. They are also used to augment and shape the cheeks, fill the marionette area, accentuate the jawline, and augment and fill a weak chin.
How can I maximize my results?
