Annapolis dermatologist describes dermal fillers

Dermal fillers are popular for Annapolis area patients who are seeking a way to address unwanted fine lines, wrinkles and folds on the face. Dr. Cheryl Burgess of the Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery is proud to offer a wide range of injectables for individuals who are interested in reducing the appearance of these signs of aging and find an effective method of treatment that doesn’t require surgery.

Dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, an element that is already present in the body. Hyaluronic acid helps in attracting water, so when injected directly into the fine lines, wrinkles and folds, it can volumize the area and reduce the signs of aging. This results in a beautiful transformation and can provide patients with a way to rejuvenate their appearance and look years younger in just one appointment.

There are several brands and types of dermal fillers and Dr. Cheryl Burgess offers:

• Juvéderm
• Restylane
• Belotero

All of these fillers have their own advantages. Some dermal fillers work better in smaller wrinkles while others work best in large folds, so an examination appointment is necessary to determine which is best suited for patients’ specific needs. Dr. Cheryl Burgess and the team of the Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery can schedule patients for an evaluation and injections all in one visit. This saves patients time and helps them maintain their busy, active lifestyles without interruption.

Most people are appropriate candidates for dermal fillers. During a consultation appointment, patients will let their doctor know what concerns they have regarding their appearance and learn which dermal filler is best for their needs. All of these dermal fillers work well with neuromodulators, such as Botox, so they can be combined for optimum results.

Dr. Cheryl Burgess is here to help patients in facial enhancement in a way that does not require down time, surgery or anesthetics. Contact our practice today to learn about dermal fillers and discover how they can dramatically improve the appearance of the skin in a non-invasive manner.
