Introduction To Dermal Fillers
Healthy young skin is soft and supple. As we get older, so does our skin. In turn, it naturally breaks down the collagen in our system. Eventually, the youthful appearance slowly fades and the skin loses its elasticity, volume, and strength. Dermal fillers are a type of skin care solution that are injected into targeted areas of your face that have sagged, or you want to look tighter or fuller. This is a quick and easy way to instantly add natural-looking volume to certain parts of your face, such as the cheeks or lips.
What Is Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are a form of cosmetic treatment that involves injecting substances under the skin to enhance facial features. It is a popular alternative to surgical procedures for being non-invasive and with little to no downtime.
As the name suggests, dermal fillers are compounds that literally “fill” the face. Dermal fillers restore volume that was lost due to the decline of the production of collagen and elastin in the body.
There are a variety of dermal fillers to choose from and each targets a specific cosmetic need. Dermal fillers are also called fillers, soft tissue fillers, and wrinkle fillers.
How Does Dermal Filler Work?
After your doctor cleans your skin and applies a numbing lotion on it, small amounts of fillers will be injected under your skin. Dermal fillers are used for plumping up or tightening your facial features from the temples, tear troughs, or crow’s feet around the eyes, the sides of the nose and mouth, cheeks, jaws, and chin.
The fillers are created differently: they can be thick, made of gel, or come in liquid form. They also vary in their chemical formulations.
Thick dermal fillers are injected into the deeper folds or wrinkles between the nose and the corner of the mouth. On the other hand, those with a thinner consistency will be used for fine lines such as crow’s feet.
Benefits of Dermal Filler
Beyond the obvious requests of filling in cheeks or lips to make them plumper, dermal fillers also provide solutions for other skin issues and concerns such as:
Youthful Appearance
Dermal fillers replace the collagen on the face. Filling in the signs of aging or saggy skin allows for the revitalization of your facial features.
Improvement of the Appearance of Scars
Whether it’s acne scars or scars caused by accidents, dermal fillers can level the skin by filling it in and raising it. These scars in turn become unremarkable.
Enhancement of Facial Contours
By using dermal filler to make a facial feature (ex: nose, cheeks, lips) more prominent, it shows that facial symmetry is indeed true beauty.
Non-Invasive Procedure
FDA-cleared as safe and effective, dermal fillers are a great alternative to surgical procedures that would require more healing and limit your quality of life.
Immediate Results
The results of soft tissue augmentation using dermal fillers are apparent immediately.
Customizable Treatment
Since there’s a variety of available dermal fillers for you to choose from, you can discuss with your doctor the formulation, the benefits of each, and what works best for you.
