What Are Dermal Fillers?
Over time the natural volume of youthful skin begins to diminish, our skin begins to lose its fullness and wrinkles and folds form. Dermal fillers are ideal for correcting these imperfections. The dermal fillers we use consist of a substance found naturally in our body. This allows for an organic way to provide volume and fullness to the skin.
Dermal fillers can smooth out a number of lines around the mouth and nose, including parentheses lines, marionette lines, perioral lip lines, and the nasolabial folds. Fillers can also reduce the appearance of acne scars and other superficial scars.
Fillers can augment thin lips, creating appealing volume. Additionally, dermal filler injections can improve facial symmetry and restore volume to sunken temples, cheeks, or areas of the jawline.
Why grow old gracefully if there is no need to? Over time what was once your healthy young skin began to lose its elasticity and strength. The skin’s natural collagen started to break down, facial volume diminished, and wrinkles and facial lines appeared. You may look older than you really feel.
The reality is that there is a way to slow down or reverse the effects of aging. You can bring back that youthful look and replenish your own natural collagen to restore lost volume with Radiesse®. The Radiesse® facial injection treatment has a unique formula that stimulates the production of new collagen to help correct wrinkles that last for up to a year.
Radiesse® dermal filler is composed of compound of calcium-based microspheres in a water-based gel that is injected into the skin in a trouble-free and non-invasive procedure. In just one injection treatment, it’s possible to attain long-lasting rejuvenation. Radiesse® has been in use since the mid-1990’s it is simple and convenient with immediate results, and contains Food and Drug Administration approved lidocaine, a local anesthetic for extreme comfort.
Areas of the face that are treatable include:
- Wrinkles
- Smile lines
- Frown lines
- Marionette lines
Radiesse® is not just any dermal filler but can actually help to restore new skin beneath the surface to refurbish the fullness and youthful look of your face without surgery. This makes Radiesse® the perfect choice for overall facial rebuilding.
A newer and highly effective use for Radiesse is the technique of hypderdilution. When diluted and injected superficially, Radiesse acts as a collagen stimulating agent. The Hyperdilute Radiesse technique combines the filler with saline and lidocaine, thinning the consistency and increasing the volume of product. The Hyperdilute Radiesse is then injected into the desired area through a thin cannula. This treatment is a favorable alternative to surgical intervention such as facelift or neck and décolleté lift
Am I a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a good option for people who prefer minimally invasive treatments for improving signs and symptoms of skin aging. If you have an active skin infection in the targeted area, you will need to treat it before coming in for a dermal filler treatment session.
Smoking, drinking, prolonged sun exposure, and other activities that cause skin aging can reduce the effectiveness of dermal fillers and how long they last.
Some people may not be suitable candidates for dermal fillers. These include those with a history of extreme allergies, an active skin infection in the treatment area, or known hypersensitivity to the filler ingredients or lidocaine.
How to Prepare for a Dermal Filler Session
We may ask you to avoid taking blood-thinning medications and certain herbal supplements starting one week before your dermal filler injection. Doing this will help reduce excessive bruising and swelling.
Avoid anti-aging skincare products and waxing, bleaching, or any form of hair removal on the treatment area two days before your dermal filler session.
Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours before your dermal filler treatment to prevent excessive bruising and swelling.
Your Dermal Filler Consultation
A dermal filler consultation will be focused on your appearance goals. Our medical spa offers Juvederm and Voluma dermal fillers that rejuvenate and enhance different areas of the face. A skincare expert will help you determine which filler is best for your skin issues.
Your face will be examined, and you will provide your complete medical history, including prescriptions and allergies. This will help ensure that dermal fillers are safe for you and a great match for your beauty goals.
Once you are eligible for a dermal filler session, a highly individualized treatment plan will be created to achieve the overall look you’re aiming for.
Your Dermal Filler Session
The area selected for treatment will be cleaned by a skincare professional. After that, the dermal fillers will be gently and precisely injected into the areas that need improvement. The treatment is quick and easy, and results can be seen immediately. The whole session may only take fifteen minutes to an hour.
Dermal Filler Aftercare
After administering dermal filler injections, the site will be cleansed. You may be given an ice pack to reduce any swelling or discomfort. Mild bruising or redness may be present, but these will disappear in a few days. You will see the results right after the injections are delivered.
The Cost of Dermal Fillers
The price of dermal fillers varies based on the cost per syringe. The patient’s aesthetic goals can also affect the overall price of treatment.
