What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable materials that plump up wrinkles and hollows in your face to smooth out your skin and rejuvenate your appearance. Fillers can also help balance your facial features for a more pleasing symmetry.

Dermal fillers are a highly efficient way of treating the signs of aging, and they’re also much less painful, risky, and expensive than cosmetic surgery.

What problems do dermal fillers correct?

Dermal fillers can effectively treat a wide range of facial problems, including:

Wrinkles
Nasolabial folds
Chin creases
Thin lips
Sagging jawline
Hollow cheeks
Under eye shadows

Your provider at Paramount Health Directions can also perform a liquid face lift, using dermal fillers with Botox® injections to further enhance your appearance.

How do facial fillers work?

The active ingredient in many fillers is hyaluronic acid (HA). HA is a clear, sticky liquid that helps to lubricate tissues around your body. It’s in your joints, for example, helping to prevent friction, and HA is present in the tissues that form the layers of your skin, helping to keep them hydrated.

Over time, the levels of HA in your body fall, becoming even more of an issue post-menopause in women. Without HA, your skin gets drier and more likely to wrinkle. At the same time, the loss of moisture in the underlying tissues creates hollowing.

Dermal fillers add new HA into the affected areas on your face, rehydrating the tissues. As a result, your wrinkles smooth out, and the hollow regions plump back up again.

What happens during dermal filler treatment?

The first stage of your dermal filler treatment is assessing your face to pinpoint where the injections should go. Your Paramount Health Directions provider marks the places where they need to administer the injections before using a fine needle to inject the filler into your face.

The procedure causes minimal discomfort, but you can have numbing cream on your skin first if you’re worried about pain or don’t like needles. After the injections, your provider expertly massages the filler into the tissues. This ensures an even distribution and helps the finished result look as natural as possible.

Do fillers work straight away?

You can see the results of dermal filler treatment immediately. The effects last for a long time — sometimes up to two years.

Each session only takes about 15 minutes, and discomfort afterward is minimal.
