About Dermal Fillers

How can I look younger?

East Valley Ophthalmology is pleased to offer next-generation dermal fillers, injectable gels, and wrinkle fillers that provide smooth consistency, instantly restoring your skin’s more youthful appearance.

If you are unhappy with changes in your facial appearance due to aging, injectable fillers like Juvederm can help restore your appearance. If you have hollows under your eyes, sunken cheeks, thin lips, or deep facial folds, then dermal fillers can correct them to give you a smoother, younger-looking face.

Dermal fillers are natural or synthetic materials that are injected into the skin to create a firmer, more youthful appearance. As we age, our skin gradually loses collagen and fat, resulting in lines, wrinkles, and sagging in the epidermis. Dermal fillers help plump the skin, making it look fuller and healthier. Dermal fillers have been used for years in lip enhancement, lip augmentation, wrinkle correction, and other skin rejuvenation procedures, such as filling out:

  • Lip lines
  • Nasolabial fold lines
  • Smile lines on the cheeks
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Crow’s feet
  • Sunken cheeks
  • Weak chins
  • Deep acne or scarring
  • And more…

How quickly will I see results?

With dermal fillers, the injection process typically takes around 15 minutes, and results are visible immediately. Plus, there’s minimal recovery or downtime. So you can step into our office for treatment and step right back into your life.

Dr. Nirenberg utilizes state-of-the-art hyaluronic acid-based injections, which are suitable for addressing moderate wrinkles and enhancing the appearance of the lips. Hyaluronic acid is more compatible with our bodies than collagen in terms of consistency. Thus, the patient will be less likely to experience allergic reactions typically associated with other dermal fillers. Dermal fillers produce a soft, natural-looking appearance with long-lasting effects.

What is the recovery time?

You can return to your normal activities comfortably after your treatment is complete. Best of all, you will see results immediately. The therapy lasts in the human body for up to 18 months. The body’s own tissue gradually replaces it and slowly dissolves away over several years. The following key areas of the face can be smoothed and enhanced:

  • Reducing lines between the nose and mouth and on the upper lip.
  • Filling in the so-called “smile lines” and “frown lines.”
  • Diminishing blemishes like acne scars.
  • Renewing fullness in the lips.
  • Restoring the natural contours of the cheeks

East Valley Ophthalmology invites you to consult with our physicians on which dermal filler might be best for you to achieve the results you desire. Give your face the radiance it’s been missing and the youthful exuberance you’ve been longing for. We offer dermal fillers that can erase years from your appearance and enhance the beauty you once knew.

Time for a yearly eye exam?

How important are routine eye exams? If you just passed a “vision screening” — do you still need a comprehensive eye exam?
