Nonsurgical treatments are on the rise, due to their lack of incisions, scarring, and downtime. Dermal fillers are on the most popular nonsurgical treatment options today. But, what exactly do fillers do and what issues can they address? Read on for answers.
Wrinkles and Folds
Restylane and Juvederm are used to correct moderate facial wrinkles and folds. Both of these fillers are made up of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance that attracts and binds water under the skin. This helps to smooth the appearance of unwanted lines and wrinkles for up to six months.
Volume Restoration
As we age, our mid face can lose youthful volume, resulting in a sunken or hollow look. Sculptra, Radiesse, and Evolence can help to restore this lost volume for a more youthful appearance. These fillers provide immediate volume and work over time by stimulating your own collagen production.
Augmentation
For individuals who are looking to augment their lips for a plumper pout, Juvederm can be used.
What to Expect During Treatment
During a dermal filler procedure, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to help ensure a comfortable treatment experience. Then, a small, fine needle will be used to inject the filler into the treatment area. The treatment process is quick, usually taking 15-20 minutes to complete. There is little to no downtime needed following filler injections.
