Aging is a natural phenomenon that occurs in humans. When the aging clock starts to tick, it’s hard to slow it down alone.

The skin begins to look wrinkled, saggy, and less radiant. The good news is you don’t have to look haggard all because nature is taking its course and you’re getting older.

One of the most common but expensive methods for combating aging is surgery. Plastic surgery comes with numerous skin-enhancing effects. However, many people find surgical procedures invasive.

If you belong to a group that wants to enhance their skin naturally without going under the knife, you’re in luck!  

Dermal filler injections can turn back the aging clock, and give you smoother skin. It’s no wonder these non-surgical treatments have become popular.

In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the benefits dermal fillers offer. 

 

1. Less invasive cosmetic treatment 

 

Surgical procedures tend to be invasive and complicated. Procedures such as cheek implants or facelifts require incisions or administering anesthesia. The possibility of complications like swelling, infections, or scarring cannot be ruled out.  

Dermal fillers are a popular and effective choice for people hesitant about going under the knife. Dermal fillers are considered the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the U.S. 

 

2. Restores lost volume

 

Certain factors such as age, sun radiation, diet, stress, etc., can cause the skin to lose collagen and elastin. This could lead to volume loss around the cheeks. Dermal fillers effectively restore lost volume, giving you a fuller and more youthful look. 

However, you can only enjoy the best results when the treatment administered is suitable for your skin type. 

At La ViE MD, we personalize treatment plans and ensure they align with specific skin types/conditions. So, you can count on gaining natural-looking results that enhance your unique skin features. Check out our Derma Fillers services today!

 

3. Reduces wrinkles and fine lines 

 

Deep wrinkles such as nasolabial folds are common effects of old age and are a huge concern for people. 

Thankfully, dermal filler treatments (specifically hyaluronic acid fillers) can help in smoothing wrinkles and reducing fine lines from expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting.

 

4. Restores skin’s elasticity

Proteins like collagen and elastin are vital for helping the skin maintain its texture. While collagen provides strength and structure to the skin, elastin enhances its flexibility. It enables the skin to stretch and return to its natural shape without sagging.

So after a wide smile or prolonged frown, your face can go back to being free of laugh lines and wrinkles. Over time, the lines from your facial expressions may become constant. Factors such as old age, sun exposure, and smoking habits impact collagen and elastin production.

An insufficient supply of both could lead to wrinkles, face lines, lost volume, and saggy skin.

However, dermal fillers stimulate collagen and elastin production, which helps to remove wrinkles, restore volume, and minimize sagging skin.  

 

5. Faster procedure and results 

 

Surgical procedures such as liposuction or facelifts may require several sessions. Depending on their complexity, these sessions often last several hours, weeks, or even months. 

Conversely, most dermal filler treatments are quick and less tedious. A typical session lasts 30 minutes to an hour. 

You can walk into La ViE MD for your dermal fillers and walk out with a young, confident look before lunch break ends. It’s that quick, and the results are almost immediate.

 

6. Delivers subtle and natural-looking results 

The results from dermal cosmetic treatments are noticeable almost instantly. After a single treatment, you’ll notice smoother and defined skin, a rejuvenated look, and volume restoration. The treatments enhance your existing natural beauty.

These results are usually refined and look natural. That way, you can look years younger and have a rejuvenated appearance without looking overdone. 

 

7. Long-lasting hyaluronic acid results

To achieve long-lasting results, some treatments require frequent adjustments. Dermal filler treatment results can last for anywhere between 6 months to a year or more.

How long the results last depends on the type of dermal treatments used. For instance: 

 

• Juvederm: Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid filler effective at adding volume and treating skin hydration problems. With Juvederm, your cheeks and lips can regain a fuller and more attractive appearance.
• Restylane Defyne: In the process of restoring a rejuvenated appearance, many fillers end up disrupting natural facial expressions or even leading to serious complications. Restylane Defyne is nothing like that! Restylane Defyne hyaluronic fillers remove deeper lines(such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines) without disrupting expressions.
• Voluma XC: This hyaluronic acid filler is designed to fill and add volume to the mid-face and cheeks. It gives you a contoured and rejuvenated appearance that can last for two whole years.
• Vollure XC: The filler is effective in removing complicated wrinkles such as nasolabial folds.  With these fillers, you can keep enjoying a rejuvenated appearance for up to 18 months.

 

8. Boosts self-confidence 

 

Studies show that a person’s physical traits can potentially influence their self-esteem and confidence. It’s safe to say that an improvement in physical features can boost a person’s confidence. 

Dermal fillers provide minimally invasive procedures for skin rejuvenation. They enhance your natural youthful features, which in turn boosts your self-esteem and confidence. The good feeling and confidence boost that comes with the natural-looking results of dermal fillers are priceless.

 

Takeaway: Restore lost volume and gain a rejuvenated appearance with non-surgical procedures

Aging is a natural phenomenon that can’t be stopped. Wrinkles, folds, face lines, and sagging skin are common signs of aging. It’s also a major concern for anyone who loves to look young and radiant.

Factors such as sun exposure, stress, lifestyle, and diet can intensify aging signs or even stimulate early signs. 

While adopting a healthier lifestyle may contribute to slowing down aging, it’s never enough.

Taking the right diet or reducing sun exposure may not give you the instant and lasting results you desire.

Dermal fillers, on the other hand, provide long-lasting skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime and effects. 

If you’d love to turn back the aging clock, dermal fillers are a safe, and effective way to do that. Book an appointment with La ViE MD today, to restore your youthful glow most naturally. 

 

FAQs 

We’ve compiled comprehensive answers to the most common questions and concerns around dermal fillers. That way, you can feel more confident in your decision to book an appointment.

 

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic treatments that are remarkable for restoring youthful glow and lost skin volume. 

These non-surgical cosmetics contain hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, or other biocompatible materials, which come with minimal risks.

Dermal fillers are injected into certain areas, such as the cheeks, lips, under the eyes, etc. Once administered, these treatments help increase collagen production, improving the skin’s texture and elasticity.

 

How long do the effects of dermal fillers typically last?

How long the effects last may vary depending on the type of filler used and the complexity of the skin. 

Dermal filler effects can last anywhere from six months to a year. However, other hyaluronic-based acid fillers like Voluma XC can last for up to two years. 

 

What is the ideal age to start getting fillers?

There’s no “perfect” age to start getting fillers. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to wait until you start noticing aging signs before you get them. 

Nonetheless, getting fillers early enough (say, in your 20s) is a great approach to prevent wrinkles and folds–which could be a result of facial expressions, lifestyle, or age.

Getting fillers early prevents early aging signs, enhances natural features, and maintains long-term skin health.

 

What should you expect before undergoing a dermal filler treatment?

Before dermal injections are administered, expect to undergo consultation. At LA ViE MD you’ll be scheduled for a 1-on-1 appointment with an expert. During this consultation, we’ll discuss goals and also strive to understand your unique needs. This helps our experts create a customized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.

After consultation, you’ll get a brief on how to prepare your body for the injections. 

For instance, it’s important to avoid alcohol, blood thinning meds, and specific supplements to minimize bruising and swelling.

On the treatment day, a numbing cream is applied to the areas to be injected. It’s a “lunch treatment” and it could take less than 30 minutes.

You’ll be out of the clinic with immediate results and little time wasted.

 

What are the potential drawbacks of using fillers?

Dermal fillers offer several advantages. However, it also comes with mild side effects that are worth considering.

Fillers may lead to temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. However, in many cases, these effects reduce after a few days.

Effects like swelling or bruising can be worse when you don’t prepare the body well before the injection. It’s important to pay attention to the dos and Don’ts issued by your medical personnel.

Similarly, when fillers are administered by untrained personnel, it could lead to undesirable results. 

LA ViE MD’s expertise in administering fillers helps to minimize these risks. We offer services that are the gold standard in the industry.
