Now with non-surgical face enhancement, you can use fillers to help you achieve plump and youthful looking skin!
We get what you’re going through right now. Once you’ve hit your 30s, not so subtle signs of aging start showing up! You can’t control the natural cycle of aging skin and you’ve probably tried many methods, skin care products and creams to delay the effects of aging.
We’ve all been through that similar route of forehead wrinkles, deep nasolabia folds and sunken cheeks. Yet, no amount of superficial treatment can help enhance those areas.
Dermal fillers inject hyaluronic acid (HA), that is a substance made naturally by our bodies, into the skin, nose, chin or lips to restore lost volume to your face and plump these areas at the same time – so that the deep set lines are smoothed out. It is different from Botox, which halts muscle movements. Instead, fillers have a smoothening and plumping effect. And because HA is naturally found in the human body, HA fillers have a much smaller risk of causing an allergic reaction.
As we get older, our bodies stop producing collagen and elastin – both of which contribute to anti-aging. Experts argue over when we start losing collagen; but the generally agreed age is 25. Which is pretty young, right? Your collagen and elastin levels then decline at a rate of about 2% per year and your body will have stopped producing it altogether by your late twenties.
Turn your life around with this minimally invasive, treatment that promises satisfactory results now!
Dermal fillers are biocompatible, injectable substances that create lift, add volume, and restore a more youthful appearance to certain areas of the face that show signs of aging.
It does have functions to augment facial features such as nose, chin and even cheeks.
The most common fillers are made of a soft gel consisting of non-animal hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a sugar molecule that naturally occurs in the human body, and it is found in our skin. It helps hydrate and adds volume to the skin. It is naturally broken down by our own bodies. Dermal fillers consisting of hyaluronic acid include Restylane, Juvederm, Voluma, and Belotero.
Other fillers, such as Radiesse, consist of synthetic calcium hydroxylapatite microspheres suspended in an aqueous gel. Calcium hydroxylapatite is a natural mineral component found in bone. These microspheres stimulate your own collagen. Over time, the body degrades the calcium hydroxylapatite and gel, leaving behind your natural collagen.
As we age, we lose volume in key areas of the face. This contributes to folds, wrinkles, hollow temples, thinning lips, sunken eyes, and an older appearance to the face. Fillers can be used to restore this volume loss, smooth out folds and wrinkles, and improve contours to achieve natural results without altering facial expression. Certain fillers can also be used to correct scars.
The effects are long lasting but not permanent. They last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years, depending on a number of factors including the patient’s age, area treated, type of filler used, quantity of filler used, and lifestyle.
No! You can go right back to your normal routine. However, I always advise my patients that they may have some bruising or swelling, so it is best not to schedule a filler appointment right before any important event.
