Fillers

Look Younger with Fillers

Why do younger people look so young? It’s often because their faces are still full of healthy amounts of fat, collagen and hyaluronic acid. Collagen is a connective tissue that gives strength, elasticity and protection to the skin. Hyaluronic acid acts as a lubricant and moisturizer for the skin.

As a natural part of aging, collagen starts breaking down and the amount of hyaluronic acid lessens. As a result of reduced moisture, strength and elasticity, our once plump, smooth skin starts to show signs of wrinkles, lines, sagging and volume loss. Mix this natural occurrence with certain lifestyle choices such as sun exposure or smoking and those signs of aging will be magnified.

The good news is that filler injections may help restore some of the youthful plumpness to your appearance and give your self-confidence a boost. Dr. Kevin I. Perman offers a variety of filler treatments in Fairfax, VA, to meet the different needs of our patients. He has over 20 years of experience with injectables.

How Fillers Work

Fillers are injected under the skin in specific areas of the face. To minimize discomfort, a numbing cream or local anesthesia may be administered. Treatments are done in our office and in most cases, there is little to no downtime; most patients can return to work or other activities immediately with few restrictions.

Filler Results

The results of filler injections will vary based on your own unique skin, which type of product is used and how you care for your skin after treatment. Dr. Perman has experience with the Juvederm line of products, Beletero, Restylane, Perlane, Radiesse and Sulptura. Results can last from 6-18 months or longer; injections usually must be repeated to maintain the results.
