Time can have a dramatic impact on how we look. As we age, we lose a lot of volume in our faces, causing wrinkles and sagging skin to appear. Thankfully, these and other issues can be corrected with dermal fillers. These injectable treatments take little time to administer and can give you amazing results that last for several months! Connect with Kirin here at Emerald Aesthetics to explore our filler treatments and find out what they can do for you.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments primarily used to add volume to specific areas of your face. Most fillers, like JUVÉDERM®, are made of hyaluronic acid (HA). This natural substance is produced by the body and can add significant volume to areas of the face when injected. Other filler types include Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA), Poly-L-lactic Acid, and more. The best choice for you will depend on your needs, which we can explore during your consultation.
What Do Dermal Fillers Address?
Dermal fillers are an excellent option for addressing several skin concerns, primarily those caused by a gradual loss of volume. These include:
- Facial Volume Loss
- Sagging Skin
- Wrinkles and Fine Lines
What to Expect?
These treatments typically take 60 minutes to administer and are formulated to improve shallow areas of the face. We pre-apply a local anesthetic cream, and most of the fillers contain local anesthetic also. By plumping the skin, fillers can also minimize the appearance of wrinkles. Several injections will be made at specific sites according to your needs during a session. After the treatment, you can return to the rest of your day, avoiding aerobics until the next day.
Results of Dermal Fillers
Dermal filler results from these treatments can be seen almost immediately and may last up to 1-2 years. These results may vary depending on the specific issue treated and the chosen filler used. Some side effects can be experienced, so it’s important to discuss post-treatment guidelines during your initial consultation.
