Your face can show the passing of time as wrinkles, creases, and fine lines appear. You don’t have to worry about undergoing surgery to turn back the clock. Dermal fillers are an effective, non-invasive solution to take years off your appearance, but will your results look natural? Yes! You don’t have to worry about your face looking overdone. Here’s what you can expect when choosing dermal fillers to help defy the signs of aging.
Common Types of Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers differ from Botox, which temporarily paralyzes specific muscles to treat wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers involve injecting specific ingredients to enhance facial volume. You can choose from 2 common types, which include:
- Hyaluronic Acid-Based: Most dermal fillers are hyaluronic acid-based because they are safe and effective. A synthetic form of hyaluronic acid is used to plump the skin by treating specific areas that have lost volume, like the cheeks, lips, or chin. When injected between the surface of the skin and deeper levels, you will achieve immediate results that will continue to improve over the next two weeks.
- Collagen-Stimulating: Collagen-stimulating dermal fillers use poly-L-lactic acid, which is the primary ingredient that stimulates your body’s natural collagen-building process. After being injected, the dermal filler will get to work right away, creating the essential protein to provide you with beautiful, natural results that will gradually improve as time passes.
Dermal fillers can be a great option to treat smile lines, chin wrinkles, hollow temples, and jowls. They can also be used to plump your lips and treat sagging cheeks.
Enjoy Natural-Looking Results
Although dermal fillers are effective, they aren’t right for everyone. Your cosmetic dentist will learn more about your concerns and goals to determine if you’re a candidate for the injectable solution. They will create the personalized plan you need to take years off your facial appearance so you can look and feel your best.
You won’t have to worry about surgery or a long recovery to achieve results that look completely natural. After just one appointment, you can benefit from long-lasting improvement. Although every dermal filler and situation differs, many patients maintain their results for 6 to 12 months.
You can invest in the next best thing to the Fountain of Youth. Dermal fillers can refresh your appearance, so you’ll look and feel younger.
