What are Dermal Fillers?
These are fillers formulated to deal with the side effects of aging and other blemishes on the face. The following are some of the main reasons these type of fillers are used for.
- It can be used to get rid of laugh lines or "crows feet"
- It is popularly used to fill out lips and get rid of lines that form on the edge of the lips
- Enhancing or augmenting cheeks to give them a younger look
- Fill out the sunken area below the eyes
- Filling out the temple area where it can look gaunt with age
- Giving the lower cheek area a more even look
- Filling out imperfections that may occur from scarring such as chicken pox or injuries and acne
What is it Made of and How Long Does it Last?
These types of fillers are made with natural as well as artificial products and it is injected into the area where it is needed. It is done to increase the volume of the area by making it plumper, in order to take out any imperfection or unevenness. Dermal fillers are not in anyway similar to botox, therefore do not achieve their results the same way. Botox works by stopping muscle movement, which in turn stops wrinkles from forming.
Natural fillers are made with an acid called hyaluronic acid. In some rare cases, mild allergies can occur. The filler itself can last as long as two years. After that, it starts to flatten, in which case the area can be refilled. Synthetic fillers, on the other hand, can last much longer. In fact, they last so long that they are considered to be permanent. Only the natural and inevitable aging process will finally start to take away the effect of an artificial filler.
When to Use Fillers
There is no right time to use fillers. It all depends on the patient and what their needs are. A cosmetic institution such as Nulook Medspa, will consult with patients and decide what is right for them. The highly trained doctors at Nulook Medspa do not follow a “one size fits all” solution when deciding what course of action is best for you. There are even hybrid solutions to take care of those wrinkles and pockmarks. For example, a combination of Botox and dermal fillers can be done to achieve amazing results.
Nulook Medspa can be described a one stop shop for all things related to cosmetic treatments. This is not a beauty salon where you walk in to get a quick facial or hair dye. It is staffed with highly experienced doctors and nurses who know how to treat all blemishes of the skin and have the equipment to do so. The process starts with a consultation with one of the doctors who will advise you on the best course of action to achieve maximum results.
