Dermal Fillers: Not Just For Your Lips
When most people think of dermal fillers, their mind automatically goes towards lip fillers. And though we adore a perfectly plump pout, what we love most about dermal fillers is how versatile they are. There are so many kinds of fillers out there, and so many kinds of uses that can be paired with them. Today we’re exploring all the possibilities that our dermal fillers have to offer here at HZ Plastic Surgery.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
In case you’re unfamiliar, dermal fillers are injectable, non-invasive procedures that temporarily erase imperfections, restore youthfulness, and repair the signs of aging. Dermal fillers are a minimalistic way to enhance your appearance without an especially dramatic effect like a facelift. The best part? They’re quick, safe, and pretty painless!
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
Depending on the type of dermal filler you use, the effects may last anywhere from a few months up to three years. You can always get a touch-up treatment to extend the impact.
All The Ways You Can Make Dermal Fillers Work For You
There are quite a few different types of dermal fillers. Some are meant to increase plumpness, improve the appearance of burns or scars, fill in lines or wrinkles, or enhance the youthfulness and health of your skin.
Here’s some of the most popular uses for dermal fillers, and which types are the best candidate for the job.
Treating Under-Eye Circles
A common treatment area of dermal fillers are those under-eye bags that make the bearer look perpetually tired. This quick procedure will help your outside reflect your youthful energy and zest for life from the inside! For this particular treatment, one of the best options by is Restylane. Restylane is a hyaluronic acid injectable known for adding volume to its treatment site. This makes it an optimal choice for minimizing those dark circles for 6 to 12 months!
Volumizing the Lips
Bold eyes and luscious lips are the key to making your face stand out from the crowd. That’s why so many trend setters and go getters turn to a lip filling procedure. But each treatment is no one-size-fits-all solutions. HZ Plastic Surgery has several different options for your lip fillers: Restylane is once again a great option, adding fullness for up to a year. Many other patients turn to Dysport, which gently enhances lips with a fuller appearance for 3 to 6 months. Our final option is Juvederm Volbella, which not only plumps your lips, but also smoothes any fine lines and wrinkles around your mouth, lasting you up to a year.
Lifting the Cheekbones
Bring back the striking spark of your youth with a quick dermal filler treatment! For this procedure we recommend, Juvederm, an option that adds volume, lift, and contour to not only your cheekbones but also your cheeks and jawline. This type of treatment can shave years off your appearance and lasts up to 2 years. Restylane is another great option for lifting your cheekbones, with results that last about 12 months.
Smoothing Smiles Lines & Wrinkles
Fillers are also a great to reverse the clock on your skin by smoothing smile lines and any unflattering wrinkles you could do without. Different fillers perform better for different target areas. For example, if you’re looking to smooth out severe wrinkles around your mouth and forehead, Restylane and Sculptra are the go-to’s, lasting you a year to two years respectively.
Rejuvenation of the Hands
As we age, our hands tend to grow thinner, taking on a gnarled appearance as veins, tendons, and even bones become more visible. Restore that smoothing volume to this particular problem area with a dermal filler made specifically for the job: Radiesse smooths wrinkles and gently adds volume to cover unsightly veins and tendons. Radiesse also helps your body generate more collagen, which helps to fill in the hands even more. The long-term effects should last up to a year.
