As we get older, our skin begins to lose its natural elasticity and volume which can cause wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging. Fortunately, dermal fillers provide a solution in the fight against the effects of aging. Dermal fillers are temporary cosmetic treatments designed to help restore plumpness and shape to areas that may have lost volume over time. They are meant to create a natural-looking youthful appearance without any surgery or downtime required.
At Finesse Cosmetic Surgery in Boston, MA, we understand how important feeling your best is, and that often involves looking your best. We offer dermal fillers as one of our many cosmetic surgery services. Designed to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, dermal fillers can provide you with a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are an increasingly popular, minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face. Using hyaluronic acid—a naturally occurring substance in our skin—dermal fillers are injected below the surface to volumize areas like the lips, cheeks, and under-eye hollows. This helps to restore fullness, soften wrinkles, and even out your complexion with natural-looking results.
Many people turn to dermal fillers for a quick, cost-effective solution to achieve younger-looking skin without requiring surgery or long recovery times. No matter what your goal is–whether it’s subtle facial contouring or age-defying wrinkle reduction–dermal fillers could be the perfect option for you.
What Are the Different Types of Dermal Fillers?
Are you considering using dermal fillers to smooth out your wrinkles and give your face a more youthful appearance? If so, then it’s important to understand the different types of filler available on the market. Dermal fillers can help maximize volume under the skin, plump your lips and cheeks, soften facial lines and folds, provide lift for sagging skin, and improve contouring of certain areas of the face, essentially giving you an overall more natural-looking appearance.
Juvederm
Juvederm is one of the most popular brands of dermal filler because it produces natural-looking results with minimal side effects. It is made from hyaluronic acid (HA), which is naturally found in our bodies and helps keep skin hydrated. Juvederm comes in a variety of products designed for specific areas of the face.
Juvederm Volbella
Juvederm Volbella is an exciting new dermal filler that offers the potential for smooth and natural-looking results. Its innovative formulation can temporarily address fine lines around the mouth, as well as subtle lip enhancement and improved overall definition. Many who have tried Juvederm Volbella have been delighted with the results, which are said to be soft, long-lasting, and gentle on the skin that they can achieve.
Juvederm Voluma
Juvederm Voluma is a long-lasting injectable filler used to add volume and hydrate the skin. It can be used to add subtle volume and fullness in areas such as the cheeks, resulting in a more youthful-looking complexion.
Restylane
Restylane is another brand of dermal filler that contains hyaluronic acid. It has been clinically tested for safety and efficacy and can be used for a variety of purposes such as reducing wrinkles or increasing lip size or shape. It can also be used to add subtle definition or contour to facial features such as cheekbones or jawlines. Restylane is known for producing results that look natural without any harshness or lumps common with other brands of dermal filler.
What Should I Anticipate for a Dermal Filler Treatment?
Our dermal filler treatment is designed to be as comfortable and safe as possible. As such, we may administer a mild numbing agent or anesthetic to the affected area in order to avoid any discomfort when injecting the dermal fillers.
Depending on the size of the area being treated, an average dermal filler treatment may take roughly an hour; afterward, you can go about your day as usual. We suggest avoiding activities like sun exposure, strenuous exercises, and applying makeup for the day after your dermal filler treatment. We’ll provide more detailed instructions during your appointment.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type you choose; some will last up to two years while others may only last six months before needing touch-ups. The effects may begin to wear off before then depending on factors like age, lifestyle habits, genetics, metabolism rate etc., so it’s important to consult with your doctor about how often you should come in for touch-ups if needed.
