Mayo Clinic's approach
At Mayo Clinic, healthcare professionals who perform cosmetic procedures draw upon their vast experience to help provide exactly the treatment and care you need.
Teamwork
Mayo Clinic uses a team-based model of care so that a doctor who specializes in conditions of the skin, called a dermatologist, may consult with other specialists as needed to address all your concerns. And most medical services you might need are available under one roof. Your team tries to coordinate these services in a way that's convenient and efficient for you.
The clinic also offers a regenerative cosmetic service that brings together facial plastic surgeons, dermatologists, vascular surgeons and other healthcare professionals to deliver services grounded in scientific evidence and the latest regenerative technologies.
Expertise and rankings
- Expertise. At Mayo Clinic, facial-filler treatments for wrinkles are done only by board-certified healthcare professionals. Clinical training in the use of facial fillers is essential to prevent or treat complications. If your injection blocks a blood vessel that leads to a part of the eye called the retina, you'll need quick treatment to prevent blindness. Breaking up the blockage involves injecting a substance called hyaluronidase. If the need arises, you have access to all of Mayo's experts and facilities.
- Time for you. Your Mayo Clinic specialist takes the time to discuss options and answer your questions about facial fillers.

Please contact your insurance company to verify medical coverage and to obtain any needed authorization prior to your visit. Often, your insurer's customer service number is printed on the back of your insurance card.
Facial-fillers for wrinkles are considered a cosmetic procedure and aren't usually covered by insurance. Exceptions might be made, for example, for people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) who undergo the procedure to restore facial fat.
