Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler injections to restore lost volume, soften deep lines, and refresh facial contours — performed at our dermatology practice in Leland, NC.
About Dermal Fillers
As we age, the face gradually loses volume in the cheeks, temples, and around the mouth — and that deflation, as much as any wrinkle, is what makes a face look tired. Dermal fillers restore that volume with smooth injectable gels, softening folds and rebalancing contours in a single office visit. At Intracoastal Dermatology, filler treatment is grounded in facial anatomy: we choose the product and placement for each area with the goal of a rested, natural result rather than an obviously "done" one.
