Dermal Fillers
Cross Linked Hyaluronic Acid
As we age, the natural volume of our youthful skin begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds settle in. Dermal Fillers instantly restore your skin’s volume and smooth away deep lines and facial creases. Results are immediate with minimal downtime. This non-surgical technique will help restore your natural beauty quickly, safely, and effectively. Dr. DiMeola, a physician with extensive training in advanced filler technique masterfully creates subtle, yet dramatic results.
