What are Dermal Fillers Made With?
Dermal Fillers are made up of Hyaluronic Acid (HA). Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance that is already found in your skin. It helps keep skin plump and hydrated. HA fillers are typically soft and gel-like. The results are temporary, lasting 12 months or longer before the body gradually and naturally absorbs the particles. Most HA fillers are infused with lidocaine to help minimize discomfort during and after treatment. There are many FDA-approved filler products in the market. For your safety, it’s important to ensure that you are receiving FDA-approved, brand-name fillers. These should only be administered by a licensed Aesthetic Doctor.
How Can Dermal Fillers Enhance My Appearance?
Dermal fillers can enhance your appearance in various ways by addressing different facial concerns and providing subtle to noticeable improvements. Here are some common ways dermal fillers can be used to enhance your appearance:
1. Restoring Lost Volume and Lift Up Sagging Face
As we age, the face can lose volume and collagen, leading to a sunken or hollow appearance. Dermal fillers can restore volume in areas like the cheeks, temples, and under the eyes, providing a fuller and more rejuvenated look to achieve youthful appearance.
2. Smoothing Lines and Wrinkles
Fillers can be injected into areas with lines such as smile lines/ nasolabial folds or marionette lines. They help smooth these lines and create a more youthful appearance.
3. Contouring and Sculpting
Fillers can enhance facial contours, such as defining the jawline, chin, and cheekbones. This can create a more balanced and symmetrical facial profile.
4. Correcting Asymmetry
If you have minor asymmetries in your facial features, fillers can be used to balance and harmonize your appearance.
5. Improving Skin Texture
Some fillers can improve the overall texture of the skin, making it look smoother and more even.
The results of dermal fillers are typically temporary but can last over a year, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. The procedure is minimally invasive and usually requires little to no downtime. However, it’s essential to have these treatments performed by a qualified and experienced doctor to ensure safe and natural-looking results.
