Fillers vs. Microneedling
Fillers and microneedling are two nonsurgical options for rejuvenation and a more youthful appearance. Both address the visible signs of aging while producing glowing skin. However, these similar anti-aging treatments do have their differences. When considering nonsurgical face rejuvenation, how do you choose between fillers and microneedling?
Microneedling encourages natural collagen production
Microneedling refreshes your skin by increasing your skin’s natural collagen production, an essential protein for younger, firmer, and smoother skin. By using tiny needles to micro-puncture facial skin, causing microscopic wounds that don’t hurt or bleed, microneedling signals your skin to create more collagen and improve your skin’s appearance.
People with all skin types can benefit from microneedling, which treats:
- Scars
- Wrinkles
- Dark spots
- Pigmentation issues
- Large pores
Fillers restore lost facial volume
Dermal fillers are made from gel-like substances and are injected below your skin’s surface. Doing so can smooth wrinkles and restore the facial volume you lose as you age. Different dermal fillers address other skin challenges, including:
- Thin or undefined lips
- Sunken cheeks or temples
- Indented scars
- Deep wrinkles
- Hollow undereye area
These injectables are made from substances your body naturally produces, such as collagen and hyaluronic acid. They have minimal side effects when administered by trained experts such as AcquaBlu Medical Spa.
We can safely combine fillers and microneedling for the best results
Choosing between fillers and microneedling depends on your skin concerns and aesthetic goals.
Dermal fillers are an excellent option for filling in lines and wrinkles or addressing a lack of volume or fullness. Results are immediately visible, but when the filler wears off, your skin will return to how it looked pre-filler.
Microneedling gives your skin a younger look and addresses surface issues such as scars or sunspots. Because it relies on your body’s natural collagen production and skin turnover, results appear gradually over time and are long-lasting.
If your goal is to improve volume while smoothing surface issues, a combination of microneedling and fillers delivers the best results. You can safely combine these treatments and enjoy both benefits, although you must wait several weeks after getting fillers before a microneedling treatment.
