What Are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Wrinkle fillers (or simply fillers) are often utilized to replace diminished facial volume. Faces often lack volume for a number of reasons, but weight loss and age are the leading causes. The procedure works by injecting the liquefied dermal filler under the skin to fill sunken or hollowed areas. Injectable fillers are a promising, nonsurgical option for Auburn Hills, MI individuals desiring to smooth wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin to create a more youthful appearance. Dermal fillers can also be added to other cosmetic treatments to provide the benefits of a facelift without going under the knife, the presence of scars, and the required downtime that follows.
There are a variety of fillers that may help meet the goals and expectations of each client. We prefer to use the well-known, durable, and cosmetically pleasing JUVÉDERM® and Restylane® families of injectable dermal fillers. All their fillers come pre-mixed with lidocaine, making the procedure a very comfortable and easily tolerable experience.

For the actual procedure, our team will administer topical numbing cream as an anesthetic to minimize the discomfort of the injections. Dr. Emmert-Buck will use her expertise to determine the amount of filler that is necessary and will continuously and gently inject it through a very fine needle. Depending on the desired outcome, either half or an entire syringe could be used.

Capstone Vision & Aesthetics Reviews
Dr. Emmert-Buck and staff are amazing. Needed cataract surgery and they walked me thru every step of the way. I also had Lasik performed to correct my nearsightedness. No more glasses or contacts!!! Fantastic Surgeon! Thank you Capstone.
Went in for LASIK consult and we settled on PRK as the path forward. Honestly the best money I think I've ever spent, both in terms of the procedure and who handled the operation. Dr. Emmert-Buck and her staff are all so wonderfully attentive and personable. There was even a self-caused issue after the procedure and Dr. Emmert-Buck was quick with being able to meet me the day it happened and help me resolve the issue. If I ever need touch ups later on in life, I know where I'm going!
Came in for LASIK consult and did PRK with Dr. Leslie Emmert-Buck. She is very nice and reliable person. Happy with what I did and highly recommended.
It's a very impressive facility. Dr. Emmert-Buck is efficient, caring, professional and takes the extra step to assure each patient is properly cared for. The ambiance of the office is comforting and attractive. Great place to experience!
I can highly recommend Dr. Emmert-Buck. I had cataract surgery on both eyes as well as a lens inserted on both this summer and I can see 20/20 without glasses, it's a life changer. Dr Emmert-Buck is a very caring and meticulous doctor/person and explains everything before and after surgery in an easy to understand manner. She also takes her time with you when you are in her office to go through all the exams and any questions you might have. I'm recommending all my family and friends to see her for any eye needs.

Dermal Fillers FAQ
How much do injectable fillers cost?
The cost of an injectable filler treatment will vary depending on the type used and the amount used to match your goals. During your consultation, we will create your treatment plan that best fits your needs. After this, your injector will be able to provide you with a cost estimate, which will include any specials.
How do I know which injectable filler is right for me?
The type of dermal filler selected for your treatment will be based on the area being treated and your desired outcome. Depending on whether you want to address wrinkles or create fuller, plumper lips, your injector will listen to your needs before recommending the correct filler for you. With so many dermal fillers available, it may be difficult to select which one is the best for your needs, but we work hard to ensure you experience a natural-looking, rejuvenated look.
What is the difference between wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers?
Wrinkle relaxers treat lines and wrinkles (particularly on the brow and near the eyes) by relaxing the movement of the underlying muscles. Injectable fillers add volume to your face to fill in wrinkles, fine lines, and depressions. Dermal fillers can also be used to create fuller cheeks and lips and rejuvenate the hands.
How long will the results last?
The longevity of your results will depend on the type of filler used and the area(s) treated. Some patients' results may be visible for up to a year, whereas others might want another treatment after a few months. Follow-up treatments can be performed at Capstone Vision & Aesthetics to sustain your improvements.
What areas of my face can be treated with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers can improve signs of aging throughout your face by restoring volume or smoothing static lines. Fillers can be used on mild to moderate marionettes, parentheses, as well as corner lines around your mouth and nose. Additionally, they can add volume to your cheeks and lips.
Make Wrinkles Disappear
