What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable substances that can address common skin flaws like wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
The team at A to Z Dermatology offers a variety of popular dermal fillers, including Juvéderm® Voluma™ XC. These fillers work by replacing volume where your face loses it over time.
Your face starts to lose fullness because your body naturally produces less collagen as you age. Collagen is the protein in your skin that keeps it full, smooth, and strong. Fortunately, when your body’s collagen production starts to fall short, dermal fillers can step in.
What cosmetic issues can dermal fillers treat?
The team at A to Z Dermatology uses dermal fillers to help their patients minimize several cosmetic concerns. They may recommend them for you if you’re bothered by:
- Deep nasolabial folds
- Hollow cheeks
- Thinning and/or lined lips
- Sagging jowls
In other words, if loss of volume in your face is causing wrinkles or changing your appearance in an unwanted way, speak to the team at A to Z Dermatology about dermal fillers.
They can closely evaluate your skin and discuss your aesthetic goals to determine which dermal filler is right for you. The team customizes a treatment plan that may involve one or more fillers to achieve your desired results.
What is the process like for getting dermal fillers?
Getting your filler is a fast, easy, comfortable process. The needle used in the injection is so small that you should feel very little discomfort, and the treatment takes just minutes.
Your provider at A to Z Dermatology follows a customized treatment plan to place your injections in precise locations. They use specific doses of the filler to improve the contours of your face, plump your lips, and smooth the wrinkles and fine lines out of your face.
Immediately after your treatment, you can see a noticeable improvement in your appearance. Over time, your results will continue to improve.
Following your procedure, you won’t have to schedule downtime or a recovery period, and you can quickly go back to your usual activities.
How long do the results of dermal fillers last?
The results of your dermal fillers can last for several months, depending on the type of filler you receive.
Juvéderm fillers can last up to a year. If you notice a loss of facial volume down the road, you can schedule touch-up treatments at A to Z Dermatology to preserve your rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.
