Dr. Cha is even a dermal filler instructor. Either doctor will give you great results.

Done by injection, these fillers place hyaluronic acid subdermally. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in all animals. It works because it attracts water and holds water under your skin surface, filling in the wrinkles. The results look and feel soft and natural. The results are long lasting. Most patients keep their smoother skin surface for about eight months to a year.
