What are dermal fillers?
When it comes to reducing the appearance of fine lines and facial wrinkles, there are two effective treatment options: neuromodulators like Botox, and dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm. Each can be used on its own, or the two can be combined for a dually effective approach to tackling the signs of facial aging.
Botox vs. Dermal Fillers
While both treatments smooth out wrinkles, they do it in completely different ways:
Neuromodulators (like Botox): These temporarily block the signals between your nerves and your facial muscles. By relaxing the muscles that cause skin to bunch up, the overlying wrinkles fade away. Botox is best for dynamic wrinkles—the lines that appear when you move your face, such as crow's feet or forehead lines when you smile or frown.
Dermal Fillers: These tackle wrinkles caused by a loss of plumpness. Most fillers are made of hyaluronic acid, a sugar molecule naturally found in your skin that holds onto moisture. As we age, our natural hyaluronic acid supply declines, leading to a loss of facial volume and sagging. Fillers simply replenish this lost volume, lifting and smoothing out deeper, static creases like laugh lines, marionette lines, and nasolabial folds (the creases running from your nose to your mouth).
In short, Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expressions, while fillers plump up the hollow spaces where volume has been lost.
Dermal fillers we provide
Juvederm
Juvederm is most often used around the nose, around the mouth, and in the lips and cheeks to restore lost volume and correct the wrinkles and lines that appear in these areas over time.
Restylane
Restylane likewise targets the loss of facial volume over time and the presence of wrinkles around the mouth and on the forehead. This FDA-approved injectable corrects moderate to severe wrinkles and facial creases, for as long as six to 12 months.
Lip Augmentation
If you’re done dealing with lips that are less than smooth, puffy, and voluptuous, select dermal fillers can be used to make those concerns a thing of the past. Your goals for lip augmentation will help determine whether your final look is simply more youthful but very natural, or a little wilder and flamboyant. Both outcomes are possible and the lips can be carefully augmented so their curves and form are just perfect.
Fat Transfer
Last but certainly not least, in this category of injectables, we have facial fat grafting. While dermal fillers fill the role of facial rejuvenation just fine, facial fat transfers offer an even more natural approach, since they use your body’s own healthy fat tissue to restore lost volume and accentuate all the right areas of your face.
Am I a candidate for dermal fillers?
Since most dermal fillers contain naturally occurring ingredients, there are very few contraindications to their use, and most patients can benefit from them. They are also FDA-approved and have been clinically proven to be safe and effective. Side effects are mild and typically include mild injection site pain and perhaps some swelling, but these are self-resolving and dissipate rapidly.
When you come in for an appointment or for treatment, our experienced and knowledgeable aestheticians will help choose the dermal filler that works best for you, taking into account what you aim to achieve with the procedure and the current state of your skin. We’ll then curate a personal plan to help you reach or exceed your beauty ideals.
