Boston Injectable Dermal Fillers

Our skin is the largest human organ. It covers our entire body and battles the elements for our entire lives. It is amazingly durable, but eventually is starts to break down. The wear effects it and it becomes less and less elastic and durable. Fine lines, creases, wrinkles and sagging begin to take the place of smooth, tight skin, particularly in the face and neck. With Boston Injectable Dermal Fillers, Dr. Bartlett can take out some of those fine lines, creases, and wrinkles to create a smoother, more youthful looking appearance yet again.

Injectable Fillers are just as they sound, “fillers” that get injected into your skin to fill out the creases and wrinkles. It’s basically playing the part that your natural, good fat was playing that gets lost as we age. There are a couple different kind of injectable fillers such as Restylane, Radiesse and Juvederm. Dr. Bartlett will walk you through the pros and cons of each and help you find the right treatment for you. Injectable fillers are perfect for patients who desire a more youthful appearance without the risks of invasive surgery and constrictive down time.

If you are ready to learn more about this and other facial rejuvenation procedures, contact our office to schedule your consultation with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Bartlett.
