Dermal fillers used at Anew Aesthetics by Physician Assistants, Inc. are hyaluronic acid (HA) based and cross-linked to achieve different properties and therefore different aesthetic outcomes depending on where the filler is placed. Hyaluronic acid is naturally occurring in the body and is also commonly used topically in products such as face washes, serums, and creams to give healthy hydration to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is hydrophilic meaning "water loving" therefore the more moisture you intake the more plump the HA becomes within the skin. Dermal HA fillers are a phenomenal way to give a more youthful appearance or to correct an area of deficit or asymmetry. Also great because one mustn't wait for them to work, they give instant gratification. The filler will slowly metabolize out of the body over the following months to years, depending on the particular product used, thus giving a long lasting effect.

Unfortunately, fillers have recently been given a bad image due to celebrities being overdosed on this type of injectable. Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Yet, as a provider and an artist, each patient I treat will be held to a standard of health and beauty which appears inherent and ageless. No "duck lips" here! Please do not be afraid to try fillers because of the bad work one may have seen in the media. For an experienced injector, a small amount of filler can make an immediate and visible improvement while still keeping one's natural beauty intact.

Dermal fillers can be used for jaw-line definition, to reverse the appearance of retrognathia giving balance to the lower face, chin restoration, to create lip fullness and restore slope, to contour and replenish areas of volume loss such as cheeks, temples, and hands, to minimize the nasolabial folds, marionette lines, neck lines, perioral lines, and so much more. Filler usage is completely individualized, so please book a complimentary aesthetic consultation to discuss in detail how fillers can assist in your aesthetic goals.
