If it’s time for you to seriously start completing have some “work” done on your face, you may want to think about derma fillers. These substances work very well at making wrinkles seemingly vanish, and produce a more natural result than Botox. They also last longer.
Most derma fillers are made of hyaluronic acid or collagen. These two substances are available in a type of clear gel that gives the skin a natural texture when they are placed underneath the surface of the skin.
Before the fillers are injected, there is an anesthetic applied to the area. This may be done topically or through a small injection. Once the area is numb, the filler is injected. Eventually, this filler is absorbed into the body and another treatment is needed. However, most fillers will stay in place between six and twelve months. There are a couple of new fillers available today that are considered semi-permanent and can last as long as a year and a half.
Side effects can include redness and swelling at the injection site, but this is gone within a day or two. Since most of the fillers are created from all natural substances, there is little chance for an allergic reaction. Speak to your med spa personnel if you have any reason to think you may be allergic.
Derma fillers are also a great way to plump up the lips. Usually, a collagen based filler is used, as this is one area where the end result must be incredibly smooth. Collagen is a substance found in the skin that helps keep the skin plump and smooth. It also helps with the skin’s elasticity. If your skin has less collagen than normal, wrinkles begin to appear. Collagen levels usually decrease with age.
If you have very deep wrinkles, these fillers can really work wonders. Marionette lines found between the mouth and the jaw line, as well as “parenthesis lines” found between the mouth and the nose are very easily treated with derma fillers. You can quickly look years younger and there is no repeat treatment needed for several months. You can see where this could save you quite a bit of money over the cost of treatments that require many additional appointments.
Men are also getting derma fillers. It’s estimated that between ten and fifteen percent of all cosmetic procedures are now done on men. While you may have a hard time getting any man to admit to it, the technicians in the med spas are very well aware of the number of male clients. This is really a marker of how effective these types of treatments are.
Derma fillers provide a unique opportunity to look younger without the downtime, pain, and expense of a face lift. A face lift also comes with significant risks, stitches, and many follow up appointments. If you are looking for a procedure that gives you fantastic results, but doesn’t cost a lot or have a high recuperation time, it’s time to seriously look at derma fillers.
