Done well, dermal filler can be absolutely amazing. It can make you look less tired, less sad, less saggy and more attractive. It can reshape your lips and restore hollows under your eyes. But some practitioners don't – or can't – keep their patients looking natural.
Fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane®, and Belotero Balance® can help transform the eye area for a younger, rejuvenated look. Cheek volume is another popular area that clients want to target with fillers. With age, the cheeks can become hollow in appearance or look flat due to a decrease in collagen production.
Results look natural but are transformative and immediate. Clients will walk in with moderate-to-severe lines and wrinkles and walk out looking years younger. Most people can expect to enjoy results for up to 12 months before needing another visit to maintain their results.
A dermal filler like Juvederm Voluma® XC can add volume to hollowed cheeks for a fuller, firmer, and more youthful look.
Like the rest of the Juvederm family of dermal fillers, Voluma is made from a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid suspended in a smooth and pliable gel. Because it's made of a naturally produced ingredient, the results are also very natural looking and can even improve the condition of your skin.
Restylane Defyne and Refyne give patients natural-looking, flexible filling of the wrinkles and folds around the mouth.
Dermal fillers are instant, so you can see a visible result immediately after injection. It takes up to 4 weeks for the filler to fully integrate into the tissue and some fillers are more cohesive than others.
Mid-face treatments can add definition to the cheeks as well as help lift this area, creating more “feminine” contours. This is especially true when considered in combination with the jawline. Cheek filler can be placed deep in the medial cheek to give the patient more rounded, forward projecting “apple” cheeks.
Here's What We Know About the New FDA-Approved Juvéderm Volux Dermal Filler. It's not every day that a new dermal filler receives FDA approval, and the new Juvéderm VOLUX™ XC is especially unique: it is the first hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler specifically formulated and approved for use in the jawline and chin.
The Results Improve Over Time
Because these injections stimulate your body's production of collagen and elastin, the final results of treatment won't be seen for several weeks. Even as the hyaluronic acid is processed by your body, healthy collagen and elastin grow at a more significant rate.
A natural dermal filler procedure, also known as a facial-fat transfer procedure, uses your body's own fat cells to replace fat which is naturally lost from the face as we age.
Excessive use of fillers distorts natural face features, causing an aged appearance. When the face becomes distorted this makes you look unnatural. And an unnatural look will make you look disproportioned.
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.
“No filler. Never filled either one, ever.” She also denied having eyelash extensions and confirmed her eyebrows are real. “I've never had eyelash extensions,” she said.
Like JUVÉDERM, Restylane Kysse is composed of hyaluronic acid, except it is cross-linked with BDDE, which is said to produce more natural-looking results and flexible movement.
Will Results Improve Over Time? Absolutely! This injectable gives you improved results over time, unlike many other similar treatments. The active ingredient in Restylane works with the natural regenerative properties of your body, extending the results you'll see after treatment over the course of several weeks.
Volbella is a wonderful hyaluronic-acid based dermal filler that creates very natural looking and feeling lip augmentations. It's my filler of choice when adding just a touch of volume.
The differences for Restylane Lyft vs Voluma? Restylane Lyft is FDA approved for 15-18 months of lift while Voluma is FDA approved for 20-24 months of lift. Voluma is the softer agent and I like using this in individuals with thin skin or with individuals who need a mild lift (younger patients).
Answer: Fillers improvement over time.
Once the fillers settle in, and your tissue heals from injections, your results can truly be seen as they are! Voluma and Volbella are hyaluronic acid fillers, which do not stimulate collagen on their own.
Most experts agree that patients in their mid to late twenties and thirties are at a great age to start treatments. By injecting the muscles that typically cause wrinkles around the mouth, eyes, and eyebrows before they start developing, you are preventing them before they happen.
With dermal fillers, most people think your skin will become wrinkly or saggy if you stop getting injections. This is not necessarily true. 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 major contraindications to the use of a filler are as follows: active infection near the site of injection, a known allergy/hypersensitivity to the material or to the lidocaine mixed in the syringe of the filler (Zyderm, Zyplast, Cosmoderm, Cosmoplast and certain hyaluronic acid fillers and Artefill) and glabellar ...
