Age on your Terms

When ageing sets in, the skin loses its natural elasticity, making it prone to lines and wrinkles and sagging. When we get older, the collagen that is responsible for keeping skin looking young is diminished. Some treatments take a month or more to take effect, but with dermal fillers, the benefits of treatment are seen right away.

Dermal fillers are known by many names: injectable fillers, cosmetic fillers, injectable cosmetic fillers, tissue fillers, injectable tissue fillers, facial fillers, injectable facial fillers, injectable collagen, or injectable hyaluronic acid. Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to plump up skin, fill in lines and wrinkles, help correct recessed scars, and rejuvenate the face. These fillers are primarily utilized for correcting the deep lines that show up between the side of the mouth and the nose, or between eyebrows and to enhance and increase lip size and shape.

Dermal fillers are a minimally invasive method of turning back the clock and making one's face appear youthful and refreshed. There is a fast recovery period, sometimes none, and they are much cheaper and less risky than a face lift. They are a popular solution to treat unsightly lines and wrinkles and scarring from injury or acne. When plastic surgery seems like too invasive of a procedure, dermal filler injections are the right option to revive your appearance. 

The length of time the fillers stay in effect depends on the drug or ingredients used, where it's injected, and the patient's skin type. A lot of choices are out there when it comes to dermal fillers, and the amount of improvement needed, and the places where the correction is desired make up the factors when deciding. The filler that is the most suited for your face will be suggested by your doctor and any questions will be answered. Dermal fillers today are usually one of these 3 types: hyaluronic acid, fat, and collagen. Each of these fillers last about a year, at which point you will need to get re-treated.

There are a lot of trade name fillers to choose from, including ZyPlast, Sculptra, Hylaform, Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane, Perlane, DermaLive, DermaDeep and Artefill. For your type of facial concerns, the doctor will run through your options, and assist you in making the best choice for your needs.

At times, some side effects like swelling, itching, filler shifting, rash or infection, bruising, and some people just plain are not happy after with the effects. 

There are many benefits to dermal fillers however advanced injection techniques and correct product placement can significantly improve the final effect and appearance of treatment as well as lower the frequency of touch up treatments.
