DERMAL FILLERS
Restore Volume and Smoothness to Your Skin
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a naturally refreshed appearance. At Sensei Medical Aesthetics, we use leading brands including JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Teosyal, and Radiesse to address a variety of facial concerns. These fillers are made from advanced formulas like hyaluronic acid or calcium hydroxylapatite, substances that work with your body to hydrate, volumize, and rejuvenate the skin. Dermal fillers can treat areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, jawline, and under-eye hollows.

Enhance Your Natural Beauty
During your treatment, our experienced providers will carefully inject the filler into targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula.
The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
Some fillers, such as JUVÉDERM and Restylane, contain lidocaine to enhance comfort during the injections. A topical numbing agent may be used when needed.
Results are visible immediately, with minimal downtime required.
Depending on the type of filler used, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
