Dermal Fillers - Know Forms Of Them!

Dermal fillers help to reduce facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat and there is bone resorption The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity,  lifestyle and lack of skincare routine.

Dermal fillers can be used to: 

• Improve sagging.
• Improve tired look.
• Improve sad look.
• Make you look younger and attractive
• Shape and volumize thin lips 
• Enhance shallow contours 
• Soften facial creases and wrinkles 
• Improve the appearance of recessed scars 

Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation treatments. What dermal fillers won't do for patients with lid drooping eye bags. They need surgical approach Non-surgical rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same result but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It was the second most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure. 

Dermal fillers are a naturally-derived or synthetic material that is directly injected into the skin with the purpose of plumping that area to the point where the wrinkle, depression, or fold is gone. Depending on the type of filler, the effects can last anywhere from six months to two years Don’t confuse dermal fillers with Botox.  Although both procedures involve injections, Botox is most often injected around the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) to relax muscle movement that results in wrinkles. It has nothing to do with the plumping smoothing effect dermal fillers have. Because they work in different manners, many people elect to get both Botox and dermal fillers—the combination can produce a remarkably younger-looking face.
