What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable products that typically contain the active ingredient of hyaluronic acid. Fillers can offer you real results that are both significant and natural.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid has become one of the most popular ingredients included in dermal fillers for a reason: It is a natural substance that the body itself produces plentifully when we are young. Getting older means less hyaluronic acid, resulting in thinner, drier skin that is a wrinkle magnet.
Hyaluronic acid fillers work by restoring much of the hyaluronic acid lost due to things like the aging process. This encourages skin tissue to drink in moisture, thickening the skin in the treatment area and minimizing, or eliminating, many types of wrinkles.
In addition to hyaluronic acid, some fillers like Juvederm include lidocaine to enhance patient comfort during the treatment process. Lidocaine is a safe product that is used in every hospital in America.
Sculptra
One of the dermal fillers in Livingston we offer is called Sculptra, which is a bit different from conventional hyaluronic acid fillers. This FDA-approved product comes in the form of an injection that triggers your body’s own collagen production. Collagen is an abundant type of protein that provides bulk and structure to your skin, helping it maintain hydration and elasticity.
The active ingredient in Sculptra is called polylactic acid. This is a special biodegradable substance that your body absorbs and gradually breaks down. As your body metabolizes the injected Sculptra, it replaces it with newly formed collagen to help restore facial volume and reduce wrinkles.
Dermal Filler Results
In the case of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers like Juvederm and Restylane, your results should become evident soon after your initial treatment. Sculptra takes a bit longer to work its magic, but you should start noticing results within a few weeks after your treatment.
One key takeaway about dermal fillers is that this is not a permanent treatment. After some time, which varies from product to product, the injected material will be completely broken down by your body. You would need some touch-up injections at that point to maintain your results.
Dermal Filler FAQs
What are the most common areas treated with dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are commonly used to enhance facial features such as lips, cheeks, and under-eye areas. They’re also used to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, and forehead, offering a rejuvenated and youthful appearance.
How long do dermal fillers typically last?
The duration of dermal fillers depends on the type used and individual metabolism. Generally, results can last from six months to two years. Factors like the filler material, injection technique, and metabolism influence longevity. Regular touch-ups can extend the effects of the treatment.
Can dermal fillers be used in combination with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, dermal fillers can complement various cosmetic procedures like Botox, laser treatments, and chemical peels. Combining treatments can provide comprehensive rejuvenation, addressing different aspects of aging and enhancing overall results.
How soon can I see results after getting dermal fillers?
Results from dermal fillers are often immediate, with noticeable improvements in volume and contouring. However, minor swelling and bruising may initially obscure the results. Over the following days, as the swelling subsides, the full effects become more apparent.
What factors should I consider when choosing a provider for dermal filler injections?
When selecting a provider for dermal fillers, consider their qualifications, experience, and reputation. You should ideally ensure the fillers are administered by medical professionals with specific training in injectables and supervised by plastic surgeons or dermatologists, like at the Center for Eye and Facial Plastic Surgery. Additionally, evaluate the provider’s portfolio, client testimonials, and adherence to safety protocols to ensure a safe experience.
