Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler at Sapphire Advanced Aesthetics
Dr. Leslie Smith is a skin specialist and cosmetic doctor in Wayzata, MN. Her training and expertise make her one of the best choices in the Minneapolis St. Paul area for dermal fillers including Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler.
Dr. Smith promotes Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler because it restores lost volume using a hyaluronic acid (HA) formula, a substance found naturally in the body. Compared to other dermal fillers, facial rejuvenation with Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler provides smoother, longer-lasting results.
Benefits of Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler
Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler is one of the most popular dermal fillers on the market. Manufactured by Allergan, the maker of Botox, Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler is FDA approved to last up to a year. It is the only filler of its kind to deliver these results with only a single treatment.
One of the things that makes Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler unique is its smooth gel formula. Because of this, Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler injections produce results that look and feel more natural compared to other HA fillers that have a more granular consistency. Also, Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler is formulated with lidocaine to allow for more comfortable treatment and recovery.
Hyaluronic Acid Dermal Filler is also safe and effective for all skin types and colors. Clinical trials have shown no increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypertrophic scarring in patients who have tanned or dark skin.
