Your Spring Love Affair With Filler
Spring is traditionally a beautiful time for renewal and romance, so why not celebrate both with dermal filler treatments that can plump and volumize the lips, smooth away lines and wrinkles, and help you fall in love all over again with your complexion?
Treatment with dermal fillers is safe, non-surgical, and non-invasive, so you can undergo your session over your lunch break and then return to work or school immediately afterward feeling and looking refreshed. Every procedure is personalized to your unique needs so that you never look “done.” Instead, your results will appear natural, elegant, and timeless as long as you choose a qualified, accredited medspa with skilled nurse injectors.
How do fillers work?
Dermal fillers are made to resemble human skin tissue. They can be used to fill in depressions, combat lines, folds, and wrinkles, boost volume, or, in some cases, provide a non-surgical facelift or nose job. Many fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, which gives youthful skin its hydrated, supple glow. As we age, our supply of HA diminishes, leaving behind hollow-looking contours. Dermal filler can help reverse these age-related trends, promoting a radiant, revitalized appearance and enhanced self-confidence. Results with dermal fillers are long-lasting, but they are not permanent. This means that you will have to come in for a touch-up after 6 to 18 months.
Dermal fillers can be used to:
- Treat nasolabial folds, glabella lines, and marionette lines
- Add volume and shape to deflated lips
- Reduce vertical lip lines
- Offset volume loss in the cheeks and midface
- Combat acne scarring and other facial imperfections
- Correct under-eye bags, puffiness, and dark circles
What are some of the most popular dermal fillers on the market?
- Juvederm – The Juvederm family of hyaluronic acid-based fillers includes Voluma, Volbella, Vollure, and Ultra Plus, to name a few. These injectables can help accomplish many anti-aging goals, soften the complexion, and create a more inviting facial expression. Results typically last 3-9 months, depending on the formulation.
- Restylane – Restylane products are engineered with a non-animal form of hyaluronic acid, helping lift sunken contours, volumize the lips, repair lines and creases, and hydrate the complexion from the inside out. Like Juvederm, Restylane is often used as a component of a non-surgical facelift. Results last anywhere from 3 to 12 months.
- Sculptra – The main ingredient in Sculptra is poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) which helps to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production. Collagen is a protein found naturally in youthful skin that helps reverse marionette lines, smile lines, and chin wrinkles. With Sculptra, anti-aging results can last as long as two years, making it a very cost-effective option.
- Radiesse – Formulated with tiny microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHa), Radiesse is another innovative injectable that boosts natural collagen production. Radiesse can help enhance facial volume, reverse nasolabial folds, and treat age-related flaws in the back of the hands. Results can last up to one year.
What is the takeaway?
Today’s dermal fillers are safe, effective, and easy to use. They provide subtle, elegant changes that enhance your natural beauty while removing flaws that draw attention away from your best features. If you are just starting to see the signs of aging, but you’re not yet ready for major surgery with its attendant downtime, scarring, incisions, and anesthesia risks, dermal fillers may be the perfect fit for your cosmetic aspirations!
