As we age, people naturally lose the fat that’s under the skin, bringing facial muscles closer to the skin’s surface. The result? Lines and wrinkles become more visible, showing the signs of aging more prominently.
Fortunately, there are a variety of dermal fillers that can help reverse the signs of aging. Fillers work to restore the volume and fullness of your face, helping to eliminate lines and wrinkles while enhancing lips and contours.
WHAT MAKES DERMAL FILLERS DIFFERENT
Unlike other injectables, fillers work to add volume under the skin, helping to smooth out lines and wrinkles. Dermal fillers are designed to add volume to the face and can be used to improve the signs of aging, as well as for other cosmetic purposes like lip augmentation.
Dermal fillers are also unique because while they require maintenance, some provide results that can last up to two years! Plus, certain fillers contain collagen, which stimulates the production of protein. That means that over time, your body will produce more collagen, continuing the improvement of your skin’s appearance and health long after the injections. You’ll be able to prevent the signs of aging from worsening or becoming more apparent.
