How do dermal filler injections reduce the signs of aging?

You may choose dermal filler injections to ease the signs of aging, which are caused by gravity, sun exposure, and loss of skin elasticity. As you get older, the thin layer of fat that sits beneath your skin also shrinks, causing you to lose youthful plumpness and volume. 

Some of the most popular dermal fillers contain hyaluronic acid (HA), which plumps your skin and fills in lines. Your body naturally produces HA, but as you age, your levels decline. Restoring your hyaluronic acid in treatment areas restores fullness to your lips and cheeks. Hyaluronic acid can also plump skin to treat smile lines, smoker’s lines, and bunny lines. 

The team at Beauty Planet Laser Aesthetic Center may recommend combining dermal fillers with neuromodulators like Botox®. Neuromodulators interrupt the nerve signals that activate the muscles that cause wrinkles when you make expressions. These injectables treat crow’s feet around the eyes, horizontal lines on the forehead, and the 11s – the worry lines between your eyebrows. 

How long do the effects of dermal filler injections last?

The effects of all cosmetic injectables are temporary. How long they last depends on the formula used, your body’s personal response, and the area treated. 

The effects of dermal fillers typically last longer – anywhere from 6-18 months*. You can also receive retreatments of dermal fillers when the results wear off. 

What should I expect when getting dermal fillers?

Your cosmetic injectable appointment takes just 20-30 minutes. When you come in, you’ll discuss your cosmetic concerns and your goals. Your provider determines which dermal fillers are best for you.

During treatment, they cleanse your face and then marks areas where treatment should take place. They apply the injections using a very thin needle and most people tolerate the treatment quite well. You will have several injections, but the procedure is quick.

Following treatment, you don’t need to take any downtime. You may experience slight swelling or bruising at injection sites, but these side effects fade within a week. 

Results from dermal filler injections are noticeable right away and your features soften over the course of a few days.
