Dermal Fillers

At Maria Grace Aesthetics, we use dermal fillers to help restore lost facial volume and provide facial rejuvenation. Dermal fillers are injectable gels made from substances like hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring component in the skin that provides hydration, volume, and elasticity. As we age, our skin loses collagen, fat, and elasticity, leading to volume loss, wrinkles, and sagging. Dermal fillers restore this lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours, giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Some areas that cab be treated are cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, chin, jawline.

At Maria Grace Aesthetics, we carefully select the appropriate filler based on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring optimal results that enhance your natural beauty.

Filler will then be then injected into your desired treatment area and will add structure and volume to bring sunken skin back to the surface. Results are natural-looking and treatment is safe with little downtime.

How it Works

Depending on your selected treatment area, the procedure can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 1 hour. Mild swelling, bruising and soreness may occur. You will see your results immediately, and can expect them to last 6-24 months (depending on filler and area).
