Dermal Fillers Questions and Answers

Dermal fillers are well known as an injectable, soft, gel-like substance and is injected under the facial skin to address a number of age-related concerns that the patient may have about their skin including:

– Smoothing out under-eye circles
– Lifting cheekbones
– Volumizing the lips
– Smoothing lip lines and creases referred to as marionette lines around the mouth
– Rejuvenation of hands that are starting to age

While not all dermal fillers that are available are created with the same substance, most dermal fillers are composed of the same common compounds like hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in our skin already and is a naturally added substance to dermal fillers. It helps to play a major role in keeping our skin not only hydrated but also volumized.

Other substances that are also commonly found in many dermal fillers include numbing ingredients that are premixed into the formula, which helps to maximize the comfort of your dermal filler treatment. Calcium hydroxylapatite may also be included in the dermal filler formula, as it is a mineral-like compound that is found in human bones. Calcium hydroxylapatite was commonly used in plastic surgery treatments to help with the density and reconstructive aspects the surgery and it has a long-proven track record of safety.

Not only do dermal fillers offer great natural ingredients, they also use synthetic fillers which are included like Poly-L-lactic acid which in turn helps to stimulate the collagen production in your body. Dermal fillers that use Poly-L-lactic acid are different from other fillers found in medical spas, as they offer gradual results instead of instantaneous results. These dermal fillers add volume over a several-month periods to stimulate the body’s own natural production of collagen.

All dermal fillers may be created differently to suit the individual needs of each patient, especially since not all patients are looking for the same results. Call our clinic today to book a consultation appointment to learn about our different dermal filler options and to get advice on which dermal filler would be right for you.

How long a dermal filler will last will depend on the brand of dermal filler you end up receiving in your treatment. No dermal filler offers permanent results; however, dermal fillers do offer a maintained look that can be used for years. The results from a dermal filler treatment can last anywhere of three months to two years. Like previously stated, the results vary on which dermal filler product you will have injected and where you will have it injected. Other matters that also need to be taken into account will depend on how long that certain dermal filler will last.

Other benefits of dermal fillers include:

– Visible and long-lasting results
– No recovery or downtime is needed after your treatment
– The minimal risk associated with dermal fillers
– Beautiful and natural-looking results
– Adds a confidence boost to each patient that leaves our clinic

Not only that, but dermal fillers are a fantastic way to add more volume, remove fine lines and plump up your skin.
