Do you want a proven approach to making your skin smooth and getting its volume back? Did you know that over 1 million people choose dermal fillers each year? At Ecstatics Aesthetics in Newport News, VA, we highly recommend these injectables for their effectiveness and the natural look they deliver. So, what are dermal fillers and how do they work?
What Are Dermal Fillers?
An Overview
These injectables are a non-surgical way to decrease your lines and wrinkles while plumping out areas that have lost volume. They are most often used on the face, but some are available for the hands as well. Their effectiveness comes from the fact that they work with your skin’s natural renewal mechanisms, delivering substances that induce an anti-aging response. Best of all, they are extremely safe and the results look natural.
What They Treat
Most fine lines and wrinkles are treatable via these injectables. Some examples include:
- Crows feet
- “11” lines
- Brow lines
- Laugh lines
- Lip Lines
As you can see, fillers are available to treat both the lower and upper areas of your face. They are effective on mild through moderate cases, so even if your wrinkles have progressed past the stage of fine lines, they will still respond well to this treatment.
How Long They Last
These injectables are among the most long-lasting cosmetic treatments available for the skin. Unlike topical products that need to be reapplied every day or services that only make your skin look nice for a week, one set of injections will give you smoothness and volume for months! The longevity depends on the kind of filler you choose, but many last between six months and one year.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
How do these injections provide results that beat most other treatments and last for months and months? The answer is in the fact that they work beneath the surface of the skin to act in place of certain naturally-occurring anti-aging substances that decrease with age. Some of the most important are hyaluronic acid and collagen. Here are some details.
Fighting the Aging Process
Ever wonder why wrinkles start to occur in our late 20s and early 30s? They happen in places where the skin folds to accommodate facial expressions and other movements, so why do they show up more and more as we get older? Basically, it’s all about our body’s production of collagen, hyaluronic acid, and certain other substances that keep us looking young. They:
- Keep skin hydrated
- Help the skin retain elasticity
- Assist in volume retention
- Support the skin’s structure
- Allow the skin to renew itself and heal from damage
Very young skin resists the wrinkling effects of daily use, stress from environmental elements, and sun exposure because it produces its anti-aging substances in abundance. However, as we get older, this production lessens and our wrinkles show up more and more.
Restoring the Skin’s Vitality
Fillers deliver the substances your skin needs to boost its collagen production. Many do so with hyaluronic acid.
Collagen is a naturally-occurring protein that keeps your wrinkles at bay, along with healing scars, resisting sun damage, and numerous other important functions. The formula of the dermal filler you choose will depend on which brand you go with and what your specific needs are. In addition to delivering the ingredients that work with the natural anti-aging process, they use a plumping gel that immediately restores volume, allowing you to see some of the effects immediately.
