Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers work by restoring volume and smoothing out wrinkles, using a gel-like substance typically made from hyaluronic acid. These fillers are injected into areas that need volume enhancement, such as the cheeks, lips, under the eyes, and along the jawline. Providing a youthful and refreshed look, dermal fillers can reduce wrinkles and add volume to hollowed areas.

Ideal for individuals seeking to enhance facial contours or minimize aging signs without surgical interventions, these fillers offer noticeable results immediately. Full effects are apparent within two weeks as the filler integrates with the tissue. Results can last 9 to 15 months, depending on the type of filler used and the treated area. Daily Glow Aesthetics and Bio-Age Medicine offers expert consultations in San Diego, CA. Book a two-hour appointment to discuss, evaluate, and receive treatment for a rejuvenated appearance.
