Dermal Fillers at Ford Wellness Center
Non-Surgical Facial Rejuvenation with Natural-Looking Results
At Ford Wellness Center, we believe in enhancing your natural beauty—not changing it. Dermal fillers are a powerful, minimally invasive solution for restoring volume, softening lines, and refining facial contours with little to no downtime. Under the skilled care of Nathan D. Ford, MD, patients receive personalized treatment plans tailored to their anatomy and aesthetic goals.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity, collagen, and hydration—leading to sagging, volume loss, and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore structure and fullness in areas affected by aging or volume depletion. They can be used to:
Smooth facial wrinkles and folds
Restore lost volume in the cheeks or under the eyes
Enhance facial symmetry and contours
Plump and define the lips
Improve jawline and chin definition
At Ford Wellness Center, we use only FDA-approved products designed to produce natural-looking results that enhance—not alter—your appearance.
Types of Dermal Fillers
At Ford Wellness Center, we offer various FDA-approved dermal fillers to address cosmetic concerns. Some common types of dermal fillers we provide include:
Hyaluronic Acid Fillers
Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that attracts and retains moisture. These fillers can add volume, reduce lines, and enhance facial contours. They are commonly used for lip augmentation, cheek enhancement, and reducing nasolabial folds.Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers
Composed of calcium microspheres suspended in a gel, these fillers are effective for smoothing moderate to severe facial wrinkles and restoring facial volume, particularly in the cheeks.Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers
This type of filler stimulates collagen production and gradually improves skin texture and volume. It is suitable for treating deep facial wrinkles and restoring overall facial fullness.
In addition to standard dermal filler procedures, Dr. Ford often combines Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with filler to provide a smoother, more natural look. PRP is derived from your blood and may help extend the desired effects of dermal fillers by promoting skin rejuvenation and collagen synthesis.
The PRP Advantage
For patients seeking elevated results, Dr. Ford offers a proprietary technique combining Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with dermal fillers. PRP is derived from a small sample of your own blood and contains powerful growth factors that stimulate collagen production and cellular regeneration.
When paired with filler treatments, PRP may help:
Prolong the effects of your filler
Improve skin texture and tone
Support healing and reduce inflammation
Enhance the overall aesthetic outcome
This innovative combination results in a smoother, more refreshed appearance—ideal for patients desiring subtle, yet significant rejuvenation.
