Injectable fillers are not specifically designed to be a skin tightening solution, though they may help to fill out loose or deflated features in some cases. For example, sagging or hollow cheeks can often be plumped up with dermal fillers to restore a more youthful look.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers like Restylane® and Juvederm® boast many youth-preserving benefits, from smoothing facial lines to restoring lost volume. But, did you know that these fillers also actually stimulate your body's own collagen production?
HAc filler stimulates collagen type 1 and elastic fiber synthesis through the TGF-β/Smad pathway. The role of HAc-HAp composite fillers in photoaging in animal models and their effects on skin, including elasticity and tensile strength, should be investigated.
The effects of the fillers will wear off after months or years, but the treated area is likely to return to its original state. The benefits of both Botox and fillers will be gone and you'll notice that those lines and volume loss will come back.
A restorative cosmetic treatment for boosting lost volume, cheek fillers not only add balance, contour and fullness to the cheeks, but they can actually help lift the whole face and iron out a few of those fine lines and wrinkles as part of the deal.
Dermal fillers can be used to restore mid-face (cheek) volume and sculpt the jawline, in order to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls. The procedure is not painful, does not require any significant down-time and is excellent at lifting and sculpting the skin, where volume needs to be replaced.
How can cheek fillers help? Facial fillers are a top treatment choice for eliminating jowls as they can be used to rebuild the structure of the face whilst rebooting the skin's natural supply of hyaluronic acid and smoothing the jawline.
The use of fillers in the face to achieve a liquid facelift or to increase the size of your cheek bones will leave some damage behind to your face and in the young patient under the age of 35 it will make you look older.
Dermal fillers are great for anyone looking to restore the smooth and youthful shape of their face. Although some last for two years, others need to be repeated every 4-6 months for best effects.
Do they lift like a facelift? Never. However, they do provide a bit of a lift or give the illusion of lifting. Cheek fillers also provide volume to the face.
Poly-L-lactic acid (Sculptra) is an injectable filler used to replace lost facial fat. This synthetic polymer has been used for many years in dissolvable stitches and bone screws. This product stimulates the body's own collagen for better skin texture and a longer-lasting result.
For topical products, hyaluronic acid is the clear winner. Building collagen takes time and other methods, but it will give you the most long-term and visible results to prevent wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and strength overall.
Eating foods rich in vitamin C and amino acids can increase the levels of hyaluronic acid and collagen in the body as both are important for skin. Foods such as oranges, red peppers, kale, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and strawberries are all rich in vitamin C.
Fillers are a great option for patients seeking a softer, more youthful look. However, if used improperly or over used, fillers can have negative long term consequences. In fact, patients who do not properly use filler could actually speed up their skin's aging process, resulting in older looking skin.
Collagen-stimulating dermal fillers have their long-term effect by producing encapsulation of the product which, if stable, will produce healthy type I collagen and not an inflammatory reaction producing type III scar tissue.
Whether the consistency is gel-like or silky smooth, the efficacy of hyaluronic acid is an unrivaled, natural source of skin support that can dramatically improve the appearance and texture of the skin.
By injecting hyaluronic acid into the skin around the eyes, in strategic places, volume can be increased, and the skin can be restructured. This can help to lift the eyes.
Cheek filler
They are ideal for replacing volume loss, enhancing cheek volume, and can improve the appearance of the lower eyelid by volumising the upper cheek area. We recommend using as little as 1ml per session for an enhanced appearance.
Fillers can change the shape of your face for sure. It does depend on the natural shape of your face, the amount and type of filler as well as the injector. Make sure you go to an expert, experienced injector.
“Proper placement of mid-face and lower face filler should not significantly affect the smile,” he shares. With that said, “if an overly firm filler is used or if the region is overfilled, an unnatural appearance can result as the lips push against stiff surrounding tissues,” he adds.
In general, the amount of filler you will need for your treatment will depend on the severity of skin laxity in your cheeks and your aesthetic goals. Voluma syringes are typically one cc and many patients need between two and four syringes to complete the treatment, which can be one to two syringes per cheek.
Fillers are most often the first step toward reducing nasolabial folds. Dermatologists and other aesthetic professionals inject fillers into the skin around the cheek. This adds volume to the area and lifts the skin.
