Hyaluronic Acid fillers can add volume, hydrate the skin, and enhance facial contours. They provide immediate results with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance without going through a serious procedure.

Areas to Get Dermal Filler at Med 44 Arcadia

  • Temples: Often an overlooked area for filler application, yet they play a crucial role in overall facial balance. As we get older, the temples can become more hollow, leading to a sunken appearance that highlights the aged look. Adding HA filler to this area can restore volume to plump the skin and create a more youthful contour.
  • Pyriform: (or piriform) is the space right under the nose. This region can benefit significantly from filler, as it can enhance the definition of the cheeks and smooth out any lines or hollows as well as balancing the lips. By adding volume here, you can achieve a lifted and contoured look without the risk of excessive filler.
  • Chin: Many people have a weak or receding chin, which can affect facial symmetry. By adding HA filler to the chin, you can achieve better definition and balance in the lower face. A well-defined chin can create a more youthful and attractive profile.
