While people are willing to admit that their appearance is important to them, many are still unconvinced that an invasive surgical procedure is right for them. This makes non-invasive dermal fillers an ideal solution for cosmetic improvement.
What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
A variety of dermal fillers can be injected into various regions of the face to help patients look smoother, younger, and more refreshed.
Dermal fillers offer noticeable improvement with a range of benefits, including:
- No surgery
- Natural-looking results
- Quick, lunch-time procedure
- Fast recovery
- Minimal discomfort
- No physical restrictions
- Immediate visibility
What Can Dermal Fillers Enhance?
As you age, your body starts to lose collagen. Collagen is an important substance that exists all over your body, including in your skin, muscles, bones and connective tissues. Decreased amounts of collagen in your skin causes skin laxity (loose) and loss of volume. Skin becomes thinner, loses its elasticity and starts to sag.
You may choose to get dermal fillers to:
- Add volume to sagging skin.
- Make your facial features more symmetrical.
- Plump up lips and cheeks.
- Smooth wrinkles and creases in your face.
Some medications prescribed to treat medical conditions such as HIV and AIDS can cause thinness in one's face. Some people choose to get dermal fillers to restore volume to their face after taking these medications.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Dermal fillers provide temporary results. They typically last anywhere from six to twelve months; however, some have been known to last longer.
Treatments can be performed as often as necessary. Injectable sessions are completed in the office with no downtime, and most men experience minimal discomfort, as many dermal fillers contain lidocaine. Results begin to show immediately.
The cost of your dermal fillers depends on the type and volume of filler needed.
Dermal fillers are priced per syringe.
