At CJ Laser, we use hyaluronic acid based fillers. Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced by your body and already found in your skin and cartilage. Filler is used to eliminate wrinkles, plump, and hydrate lips, replace soft-tissue volume loss, volumize creases and folds of the face, sculpt and contour.

Results are visible immediately. The healing process will take about 3-10 days depending on the amount and area injected. You can expect swelling and bruising, give yourself a minimum of 2 weeks before any event.

Dermal fillers are temporary. Longevity depends on which product is used, which area is treated and on your individual metabolism. See individual area descriptions for more info!
