WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?
Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches overtime and loses its elasticity, which adds to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.
Dermal fillers can be used to:
- Plump thin lips and increases fullness
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases, lines, and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Enhance or Augment the nose with a non-surgical rhinoplasty (nasal reconstrucition or "nose job")
Dermal fillers differ in chemical make-up, longevity, and have varying degrees of softness. Softer fillers are used in the lips, while sturdier fillers might be desired to enhance cheekbones.
