Many people want to improve or revitalise their aesthetic appearance but do not want to undergo an intensive surgical procedure. Injectable dermal fillers are an ideal solution for these patients because they are non-invasive, require minimal time post-treatment and are effective in correcting aesthetic changes due to aging, sun damage and facial volume loss. Injectable fillers, often referred to as “lunchtime facelifts”, have become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments in the United States after Wrinkle Reduction injections (Botox/Dysport/Xeomin).
Dermal fillers are primarily used to replace volume loss in the skin and facial soft tissue. Common areas include nasolabial grooves (grooves at the junction of the upper lip and cheek), marionette lines, smile lines, tear troughs and wrinkles along the forehead and upper bridge of the nose.
Dermal fillers are also commonly used to make the patient’s lips look fuller and to complement the loss of volume in the cheeks and temples. In addition to offering the aesthetic advantage of instantly filling facial lines and grooves, dermal fillers can also stimulate the skin’s natural collagen proliferation, thus helping to prevent the formation of wrinkles and folds in the future.
