What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat, causing facial muscles to work closer to the skin surface, which makes smile lines and crow’s feet more apparent. Dermal fillers can be used to:

  • Plump thin lips
  • Enhance shallow contours
  • Soften facial creases and wrinkles
  • Improve the appearance of recessed scars
  • Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
  • Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids

These treatments are not only used for aging; younger clients also use dermal fillers to enhance and balance facial features.

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume and smooth wrinkles in the skin. The primary mechanism through which dermal fillers operate involves filling in soft tissue under the skin. 

Dermal fillers are a versatile solution for addressing various signs of aging and can be used in conjunction with other treatments like Botox or laser therapies for a comprehensive rejuvenation strategy. Each type of filler is designed for specific areas and concerns, ensuring a customized approach to facial enhancement.

Here’s a closer look at how dermal fillers achieve their effect:

  1. Volume Enhancement: As we age, our skin loses collagen, elastin, and fat, leading to a decrease in facial volume and the appearance of wrinkles and folds. Dermal fillers replenish this lost volume by being injected directly into the areas requiring enhancement, such as cheeks, lips, and under the eyes. This helps to restore a more youthful, lifted appearance.
  2. Collagen Stimulation: Some dermal fillers contain ingredients that stimulate the production of collagen within the dermis. Collagen is a vital protein that helps maintain the skin’s strength and elasticity. By promoting collagen growth, these fillers provide a longer-lasting effect beyond just the physical filling.
  3. Water Attraction: Many fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that retains moisture and keeps the skin hydrated and plump. When injected, hyaluronic acid fillers attract water molecules to the area, enhancing their volumizing and smoothing effects.
  4. Immediate Results and Gradual Improvement: Once injected, dermal fillers provide immediate volume and correction. However, over the following weeks, they can stimulate the body’s natural processes, such as collagen production, which contributes to further improvements in skin texture and firmness.

The Liquid Facelift

This innovative, non-surgical procedure combines different injectables to achieve results similar to a facelift. By lifting and filling specific areas of the face, it offers a rejuvenated appearance without the downtime of traditional surgery.

The “liquid facelift” restores facial volume, reduces wrinkles, and provides a degree of facial rejuvenation. The liquid is typically an injectable filler (Restylane Lyft, Juvederm Voluma, Restylane Silk, and others) in conjunction with Botox which relax facial lines. A liquid facelift can restore a youthful appearance with minimal downtime, discomfort and no incisions or scarring.

Airbrushing Technique

Our Airbrushing technique is a newer method focused on targeting fine lines around the eyes and lips, providing a smoother, more youthful look quickly and effectively.
