Dermal Fillers
Collagen as You Age
Collagen is what gives volume, flexibility and strength to healthy, young skin. As part of the aging process, your own natural collagen breaks down, diminishing facial volume and elasticity. This loss of elasticity and volume results in wrinkles, facial folds and skin laxity – all of which rob your skin of its youthful, fresh appearance.
What Do Dermal Fillers Treat?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that add volume where you need it. Dermal filler is used to restore lost facial volume that results from the natural aging process and also to correct a number of concerns. Dermal filler treatments can be used to improve facial asymmetry, provide fuller and more defined lips, and improve the appearance of undereye dark circles from hollowness (collagen loss) or from undereye bags. Though similar, each dermal filler product has its ideal application. Knowing what works best, and where the product is needed, is often the key to creating the best possible results. Because of our expert training, Mirabile M.D. MedCosmetic in Kansas City has successfully used these filler products for many years leading to an in-depth knowledge of their capabilities and limitations.

What to Expect
A dermal filler treatment is typically 30-45 minutes. You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream which provides for a comfortable treatment experience.
Dermal filler has no downtime, although with any cosmetic injectable treatment you may experience bruising. You will have some post-care instructions and restrictions within the 24 hours following treatment. You can see improvement within days, with full results occurring in approximately 2 weeks.
Our knowledgeable nurse injectors will advise you on which dermal filler product is best for you based on the area being treated and your desired results. Our injectors receive ongoing advanced injection training ensuring they are always up to date on the most current tools and injection techniques.
