What Are Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances injected beneath the skin to restore lost volume, smooth lines, soften creases, and enhance facial contours. They are a popular, non-surgical treatment for achieving a refreshed and youthful appearance.
When and Why Are Fillers Used?
- Volume Loss: As we age, the skin loses collagen, fat, and elasticity, leading to a loss of volume. Fillers help replenish these areas for a fuller, more youthful look.
- Wrinkle Reduction: Fillers can smooth out static wrinkles and fine lines caused by aging or repetitive facial movements.
- Facial Contouring: Enhance facial features such as the cheeks, jawline, and lips for improved symmetry and definition.
- Hydration: Many fillers contain hyaluronic acid, which attracts moisture, keeping the skin plump and hydrated.
Where Can Fillers Be Used?
Dermal fillers are versatile and can be used in multiple areas of the face, including:
- Lips: Enhance lip size, shape, and definition.
- Cheeks: Restore volume and lift for a contoured appearance.
- Nasolabial Folds: Smooth lines running from the nose to the mouth.
- Under-Eye Area: Reduce hollows and improve dark circles.
- Jawline and Chin: Enhance jawline structure and balance chin proportions.
- Temples: Fill in sunken areas for a fuller look.
