Dermal fillers are gaining widespread popularity, and for good reason. Firstly, they are not the same as BOTOX, which works by freezing the underlying muscles that contribute to signs of aging such as wrinkles. They are a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that can smooth out your skin and enhance your lips quickly and painlessly. However, there is no one magic filler. In order to achieve the best results possible, your dermatologist may recommend one or more treatments utilizing different types of fillers.
Volumizing Fillers
Volumizing dermal fillers, also referred to as heavy fillers, are typically used for the longest lasting results in hollow areas of the face such as the cheekbones. Skin-care Longmont dermatologists like the experts at JMarie Skin Studio typically use heavy hyaluronic acid-based fillers to accomplish this goal. IV nutrition may also be offered. Hyaluronic acid is naturally produced in the body and contributes to skin fullness and elasticity. However, its production naturally declines with age.
Superficial Fillers
Superficial fillers, also referred to as light fillers, are the most common treatment option used by dermatologists. These dermal fillers are ideal for smoothing out fine lines such as those around the eyes, lips, and nose. They are also used to enhance the lips to produce a fuller and more youthful look. In many cases, dermatologists may use both light and heavy fillers to produce more noticeable results.
Choosing a dermal filler over other cosmetic procedures may be right for you if you are looking for a low-cost, noninvasive antiaging solution. However, it is important to keep in mind that fillers are temporary. In order to maintain your results, you may need maintenance treatments over time. The timing for this will vary depending on your skin type and goals. Expect to make a visit to your dermatologist every three to six months for the best results possible.
