These are safe and natural cosmetic dermal fillers that restore volume and fullness to the skin to smooth out those wrinkles or folds that look like parentheses along the sides of your nose and mouth. Dr. Cosgrove can determine which of these fillers is appropriate for your unique needs. She injects these directly under the skin with an ultra fine needle, resulting in minimal discomfort. The procedure is simple and convenient, and the results are practically instantaneous. To optimize your comfort during the brief procedure, Dr. Cosgrove can completely numb the region with a “dental block.”
