Dermal Filler FAQs – Setauket, St. James, Belle Terre & Poquott Village,

1. What are dermal fillers and how do they work?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments designed to restore lost volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. Most fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the skin. Clients from Setauket, St. James, Belle Terre, and Poquott Village choose fillers for a refreshed, youthful appearance without surgery.

​

2. What areas can dermal fillers treat?

Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the lips, cheeks, jawline, chin, smile lines (nasolabial folds), marionette lines, and under-eye hollows. During your consultation, we customize treatment based on your facial structure and goals.
