The older we get the more the hyaluronic acid content, which is important for hydration and water retention in our bodies, decreases. This means our skin becomes drier and starts to lose its plumpness. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that occurs in the body, it holds water, which hydrates and gives volume to the skin. As we age, this production of hyaluronic acid diminishes.
For a number of reasons, maybe age, stress or weight loss, we might find that our face is beginning to look tired, drawn and gaunt. A younger person’s skin looks firmer and plumper in comparison, thanks in part to collagen and hyaluronic acid. But as we get older, these substances in our skin slowly begin to diminish and this results in a loss of facial volume. One of the ways to combat the signs of getting older, is to replace the hyaluronic acid that is lost during the ageing process.
Dermal fillers are the ideal, non-surgical treatment to improve facial contours, fill out sunken cheeks, reduce wrinkles and fine lines and help people regain their former youthful looks. Before our late 30’s, the skin should still keep it’s natural contoured nature and volume, without too many wrinkles or sagging, which makes the process a better prospect for middle-aged skin. Although late nights, heavy drinking and smoking can speed up the signs of ageing, so it’s possible to need Dermal Fillers Treatment at a younger age.
The fillers are injected under the skin into the lower parts of the face, and give gentle volumising and contouring. They create a naturally smoothed out appearance and fill in the fine lines and wrinkles and plump out the grooves and creases. The effects of dermal fillers are much softer than other treatments, giving an instant rejuvenating appearance. Today, dermal fillers have changed the face of cosmetic medicine.
By simply placing the fillers in strategic places:
- Adds volume to hollowed, gaunt, or sunken areas of the face.
- Gives a natural filled out appearance under the lower eyelids, correcting the hollowed eyed look.
- Softening of the deep grooves between the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.
- By adding volume the cheeks, it improves the marionette lines from the mouth to the chin.
- Jowls correction can give you the result of a smooth jaw line.
- Gently thickens skin that has thinned, due to ageing.
- Improves furrows, deep folds and creases.
- The precise placing of fillers plumps up the apples of the cheeks and sculpts the cheek bones.
- Lip enhancement / lip augmentation will give the lips better definition, reduce lipstick bleed, add more volume and a fuller appearance.
The effects of dermal fillers are instant, so there’s no waiting for weeks until any swelling has gone down to see how the procedure has turned out. There’s a small chance however, of slight bleeding where the needle enters the skin, and slight swelling or redness at the injection area, although this will go down very quickly and the use of an ice pack will speed up resolution.
Benefits include:
- It’s a non-invasive treatment.
- Little downtime, so you can return to normal activities straight away.
- It reduces lines and wrinkles to give the face a more youthful looking appearance.
- Fillers replenish lost volume and give a softer, younger look.
- Long lasting results.
Most of today’s dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which improves skin hydration and stimulates the body’s production of collagen. With a few syringes of dermal filler, your face is plumper and the cheeks lifted, which also has a lifting effect on the jaw-line.
