As you get older, you realize that the structure of your facial features no longer holds up as well as before. You have deeper wrinkles near your mouth area, your jawline is starting to sag, and not even your cheeks look as sharp. Starting in your mid-30s, the signs of aging are in your face, and we mean that as literally as possible.
Luckily, medical aesthetics is in a good spot today, and you can get a treatment that can help you revitalize your look. Whether you want to reduce facial creases or work on areas that have flattened over time, dermal fillers can help you look a couple of years younger. In this blog, you can find out exactly how they can help.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable products that usually use a gel-like formula to add more volume to the target area. Mostly, they are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body that binds to moisture particles, providing more volume. These injectables also have the potential to trigger the production of collagen, smoothing your skin and getting rid of creases.
Dermal fillers can come under different brand names, such as JUVEDERM®, BELOTERO®, and Restylane®. Depending on the level of age damage, different thickness levels can be chosen to offer optimal results.
Since these fillers are generally used to address wrinkles caused by collagen depletion, they are often combined with BOTOX® Cosmetic. BOTOX® Cosmetic addresses dynamic wrinkles on the upper half of the face, whereas fillers are often used on static wrinkles on the lower side.
Issues Addressed by Dermal Fillers
When you go to Iconic Plastic Surgery for dermal fillers, you can reduce various skin conditions, whether they are caused by mild trauma or aging. Here are the most common benefits brought on by dermal fillers:
1. They Smooth Out Static Wrinkles
Gradual loss of collagen can lead to static wrinkles, such as marionette lines and nasolabial folds. Unlike dynamic wrinkles, these will form whether or not there is movement in the skin. Fillers can help “fill in” the creased areas, softening their appearance.
2. They Enhance Jawline and Cheekbone Definition
The loss of collagen and elastin can lead to significant volume loss and sagging in areas like your cheekbones. These sunken cheeks or jowls can make you look older than you are, disrupting the balance. Fillers with a thicker formula, such as JUVEDERM® VOLUMA XC, can be used to restore that contour, adding a subtle sharpness that makes the complexion look more rejuvenated.
3. They Make You Look Hydrated
As mentioned, dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which binds to moisture particles, keeping everything in place as the HA expands. Using these products on the cheeks can make the target area look plumper and more hydrated.
4. They Reduce Under-Eye Hollows
Under-eye hollows and dark circles can also form after significant loss of collagen. This can make you always look tired, even if you technically had enough sleep the night before. Fillers can help plump the area and thicken the skin in those delicate parts, preventing it from sinking.
5. They Improve Acne Scar Appearance
Acne can leave pits in your skin once the inflamed pore heals, whether or not you pick at the pimples. These are known as atrophic scars, often forming when there’s not enough collagen to fill that pit in. Dermal fillers can raise the skin while triggering new collagen production, improving overall skin texture.
