General information
Dermal fillers differ in formula and other characteristics, but the basic principle is the same: they are injected into the skin to increase volume and reduce lines and wrinkles.
Because dermal fillers can be injected in the comfort of our medical office, patients can arrive for an appointment expressing a cosmetic concern, and Dr. Berbari or a member of her team can immediately address it. Dermal fillers can be used in conjunction with multiple skin nourishing and revitalizing treatments to meet your satisfaction.
Hyaluronic acid-Injectable treatments consist primarily of hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the tendons and muscles of mammals. Both men and woman can see satisfying results lasting nine to twelve months after receiving an injection, as the dermal filler smoothes wrinkles and fine lines, provides volume in the lips, and eliminates the harsh appearance of depressed scars.

We look forward to helping you begin your journey toward younger-looking, more beautiful skin.
If you are interested in achieving younger-looking skin, dermal fillers may be right for you. Dr. Berbari uses only the latest and safest filling treatments to smooth fine lines, reduce deep wrinkles, and restore volume to sagging skin.
Hands are said to reveal the age of a person. Thanks to filling agents, it is possible to outwit time as shown in this picture before and after injection of calcium hydroxyapatite. This agent has another advantage: the bio-stimulation of collagen. In fact, it has been observed and proven in several studies that the use of these fillers in a repetitive manner stimulates the production of collagen in the long term, which will reduce the frequency of treatments.
