Dermal Fillers Injections in Fremont, CA
DERMAL FILLERS at Ariba med spa
Dermal fillers have risen in popularity because of their versatility and ability to achieve multiple outcomes. Repetitive muscle movements, environmental factors, and natural aging cause our skin to lose volume and elasticity over time. At Ariba Med Spa, we use dermal fillers to replenish youthful suppleness and improve facial contours to reach individual aesthetic goals.

FAQs
Juvéderm® and Restylane® dermal fillers are made with a hyaluronic acid (HA) base. Injectable HA is a replica of the naturally occurring molecule found in the body. Best known for its incredible ability to carry 1,000 times its weight in water, HA provides deep hydration to skin tissues.
Dermal filler is a soft, gel-like substance that improves volume while deeply hydrating tissues. Your Ariba injector will strategically administer the dermal filler under the skin to achieve specific outcomes. Dermal filler results are semi-permanent, lasting approximately twelve months.
Your Ariba injector will apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before injection. The injections feel like a pinch and can cause discomfort, which dissipates quickly. After your treatment, you can anticipate swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the treatment site.
