Dermal Fillers and Injectables in Charleston, SC

It is possible to maintain a smooth, younger looking complexion without the need for invasive cosmetic surgeries and long recoveries. At Port City Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brian G. Widenhouse uses dermal fillers and injectables to minimize fine lines, wrinkles and folds on men and women in Charleston, Daniel Island, Summerville and Mount Pleasant, SC, who have begun to show the signs of aging.

What are Dermal Fillers and Injectables?

Dermal fillers and injectables are excellent treatment options for many signs of facial aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. As people age, they lose volume and moisture in their skin, resulting in wrinkles, sunken cheeks, hollows under the eyes, and other signs of aging in their face. By restoring the lost volume with injectable dermal fillers, people can regain youthful contours and a smooth complexion that radiates beauty and confidence.

How Much Do Dermal Fillers and Injectables Cost in Charleston?

The cost of dermal fillers and injectables depends on the selected treatment, the number of injections needed, and whether other treatments are performed at the same time. We offer a variety of dermal fillers formulated with hyaluronic acid. We discuss the cost as well as payment options during a complimentary consultation with Dr. Widenhouse. We accept cash, checks and credit cards, and offer financing to make our treatments more affordable.

Immediately following the injections, ice packs may be applied for a few minutes to prevent and reduce the possibility of swelling.
