Wrinkles are an inevitable part of the aging process. Although everyone will experience skin progression, dermal fillers can help create a fresh and youthful look no matter your age. By improving the texture and appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, these fillers can easily boost self-esteem.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers can successfully smooth facial skin to reduce noticeable signs of aging. Since these fillers are minimally invasive, they are frequently used as a safe rejuvenation treatment. Dermal fillers use a gel-like substance that is injected to smooth and plump the skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It is both cost-effective and safe to use.

What Are The Benefits of Using Dermal Fillers?

By plumping lines that frequently occur around the nose, mouth, and eyes, the volume can help the skin look youthful by smoothing wrinkles. Not only can dermal fillers minimize the appearance of wrinkles, but they can also be safely used for creating fuller, more luscious lips.

Dermal fillers do not require surgery. This type of treatment is not performed in a hospital and there is no mandated downtime needed for recovery. By softening creases in the skin with dermal fillers, facial contours can be enhanced without the dangers of anesthesia or potentially addicting pain medication.

3 Dermal Fillers For Youthful Skin

Most cosmetic fillers are FDA approved substances that are injected directly into the skin. Although all dermal fillers can be used to help reduce the appearance of aging, there are several different substances used.

Hyaluronic acid is frequently used because it is already naturally found in the skin. This type of acid keeps skin hydrated and has the consistency of the gel. Generally, hyaluronic acid fillers will last six to twelve months.

Poly-L-lactic acid is a biodegradable substance that is synthetic. These collagen stimulators can smooth deep lines by rebuilding collagen before dissolving after a few days post-treatment. For more noticeable lines, poly-l-lactic acid is the go-to filler. It also has the benefit of lasting for up to two years.

Calcium hydroxylapatite is another substance that is found within the body. The consistency is slightly thicker than hyaluronic acid and tends to last longer. Most patients that use calcium hydroxylapatite don’t need additional fillers for one year. Unlike many other fillers, this type can actually help stimulate future collagen production.

What Does Treatment Look Like?

Since dermal fillers do not require surgery, treatment is generally quick with minimal pain. Since many professionals can perform this treatment in an out-patient office setting, you can potentially get dermal fillers during a lunch break or on the weekend. A typical dermal filler appointment takes approximately an hour.

Before treatment, a consultation appointment is helpful to understand where treatment is needed as well as what type of filler works best on your skin. Depending on skin elasticity as well as location, different fillers may be used for different treatment goals.

During an initial consultation, a trained medical professional will take an inventory of your medical history to assess any possible risks. Any neurological issues or allergies can be ruled out during an exam or interview. If you take NSAIDS or blood thinners, be sure to tell your doctor.

After the dermal filling is injected into the surface of the skin, you may notice instant results. Although bruising and swelling can occur, they are both temporary. One of the best benefits of using dermal fillers is its fast recovery time. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment so that your life does not have to be put on hold.

Dermal fillers are an excellent way to retain a youthful look no matter your age. By using a safe filler treatment, the skin can be plumped and smoothed for a relaxed and gentle appearance. To find the right filler for your skin, visiting an experienced professional is key.
