Dermal fillers are one of the most popular anti-aging treatments available from your dermatologist. They are used to diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles, giving you smoother, firmer-looking skin. Dermal fillers can also help restore lost facial volume due to aging, diminishing the appearance of sagging skin, and improving the appearance of acne scars.
What Happens to Your Face as You Age
Your face starts to lose fullness because your body naturally produces less collagen as you age. Collagen is the protein in your skin that keeps it full, smooth, and strong. Fortunately, when your body’s collagen production starts to diminish, dermal fillers can step in.
How Dermal Fillers Can Help
Our team uses dermal fillers to help their patients minimize several cosmetic concerns. They may recommend them for you if you’re bothered by:
- Deep nasolabial folds
- Hollow cheeks
- Thinning and/or lined lips
- Sagging jowls
- Acne scars
What You Can Expect With Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler treatment is quick and easy, taking just a few minutes. During your treatment, our provider follows a customized treatment plan to place your injections in precise locations. Small amounts of filler material are injected just under the skin, using a tiny needle. You will notice results almost immediately, and there is minimal downtime, so you can get back to enjoying your day.
How Long Your Results Will Last
The results of your dermal filler treatment can last for several months, depending on the type of filler you receive. If you notice a loss of facial volume down the road, you can schedule touch-up treatments to preserve your rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.
