Dr. Ross VanAntwerp uses dermal fillers to smooth out unwanted lines and wrinkles around the mouth and elsewhere. He also enhances lip size and diminishes the appearance of vertical lines that run from the nose to the lip.

Cosmetic dermal fillers used at the Laser Center of Maryland include Restylane, Radiesse, and Juvederm. The providers decide which one is best for you.

These naturally occurring substances fill up the areas where the skin has thinned due to aging. The doctor uses a very fine needle to inject just below the surface of the skin. The procedure is tolerable and the effects are immediate and beautiful!

What are dermal fillers made of?

Dermal fillers consist of hyaluronic acid-a naturally occurring substance in the body. Hyaluronic acid provides volume and fullness to the skin.

How long do the results last?

The results last for about 6 months.

Can my lips be accentuated with this treatment?

You will love what dermal fillers do for thin lips, and for smoothing out creases in the corner of the mouth. The change is subtle but lovely. Say goodbye to lipstick bleeding once you get this treatment!

Is treatment uncomfortable?

The doctor uses a fine cosmetic needle which minimizes discomfort. We also take other measures to insure your comfort. You might experience a short period of bruising at the injection site.
