Of all the many cosmetic treatments available, it can get confusing as to which procedures are for what conditions. This post focuses on dermal fillers and what they do.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal filler injections are non-surgical cosmetic treatments. Dermal fillers restore volume to your face, smooth out wrinkles, and plump up lines. These medications are injected directly beneath your skin by your healthcare professional.
Dermal fillers are chosen by people to accentuate their facial features or to look younger. There is little recuperation time after this elective therapy, which typically lasts under 30 minutes. Depending on the type of dermal filler utilized and the area, results can immediately be apparent and endure for months or even years.
Dermal fillers come in several different varieties. Your healthcare provider will talk to you about your alternatives. There are dangers associated with any cosmetic operation, such as infection, bleeding, and bruising.
What are the Uses of Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers may be opted for to:
- Give sagging skin volume
- Ensure symmetry in the features of your face
- Plump up the cheeks and lips
- Smoothen fine lines and wrinkles
The face is the area where soft tissue fillers are most frequently utilized; they can add volume and plumpness and smooth out wrinkles and fine lines. In addition to treating wrinkles in other body parts, fillers can also be used to cover scars.
The lips, nose, temples, and cheeks can all look better and have more volume added with fillers. Other uses include:
- Lessening the appearance of acne scars
- Removing earlobe folds
- Filling in forehead wrinkles
- Revitalizing the hands
Some medicines that treat diseases like HIV and AIDS might make your face look thinner. After taking these medications, some people decide to obtain dermal fillers to add volume to their faces.
Where to Use Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are most frequently used on the face to smooth out wrinkles brought on by aging. The Aesthetic House offers several dermal filler options. These options are:
Lip Filler: Fillers are an excellent answer whether you need to hydrate or want to give your pout more volume. Your lips’ young form will be restored immediately by fillers, which add a little bit to a lot more volume. The lines around the lips, which lose volume over time, can also be safely smoothed.
Chin Filler: When we start to lose soft tissue as we become older, dermal fillers can give the face and chin profile contour and definition. It is a fantastic minimally invasive, non-surgical option without the recovery period!
Nasolabial Folds: As we age, smile/laugh lines start to appear through aging or repetitive muscle activity. These lines can be softened and smoothed with dermal fillers, improving the skin’s look.
Cheek Filler: Filler can be used to contour the cheek area, lift and perk up the cheeks, and replace lost volume for a more youthful appearance.
Tear Troughs: Fillers can restore a youthful appearance to sunken, drooping eyes. Your eyes appear more rested and youthful by reducing the shadows below the eye brought on by aging or genetics.
Aside from these, dermal fillers can also treat marionette lines and glabellar lines. The marionette lines extend from the chin to the lip borders, while glabellar lines are found between the brows and on the smooth part of the forehead.
Dermal Fillers Can’t Correct Severe Cases.
The degree of repair that dermal fillers can offer is constrained. The benefits of surgical procedures like facelifts may be more significant for people who require more extensive correction.
If more invasive treatment options are out of the question, you can combine dermal fillers with other cosmetic treatments to enhance your look. The Aesthetic House also offers wrinkle relaxers, facials, and microneedling – all of which can help correct signs of aging.
