These procedures are ideal for residents of North Branford, Clinton, Durham, and surrounding towns who want to turn back the clock without looking “done.”​

Volume loss is one of the most telltale signs of aging, and dermal fillers are the gold standard for restoring fullness to the face. At The Collins Center in Guilford, we offer a comprehensive range of fillers, including Juvederm, Restylane, Versa, RHA, and Sculptra, each selected for its unique properties and ideal applications.​
Whether you’re seeking lip fillers for fuller, more defined lips, chin fillers for improved profile balance, or under-eye fillers to address hollowing and dark circles, Dr. Collins and her team bring surgical-level understanding of facial anatomy to every injection.
