A Closer Look at What Dermal Fillers Are

If you have wrinkles and fine lines, you are not alone. Due to age, genetics, and other factors, the condition of your skin changes. You have likely tried traditional methods only to find they offer short-lived results. There is an advanced skincare treatment that offers long-lasting, natural-looking results without requiring downtime or leaving you with scars. Dermal fillers are non-surgical injectables that provide unique benefits. At Premiere Aesthetics, Angella Benson offers a range of dermal fillers. She is a Board Certified Aesthetics Nurse Practitioner and the owner of Premiere Aesthetics. If you would like to know more about dermal fillers and how they can benefit your skin, give us a call to schedule a consultation. 

What are Dermal Fillers?

A dermal filler is a non-surgical, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment. These fillers are injected into different levels of your skin to reduce the signs of aging. Dermal Fillers reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, tighten your skin, and restore volume loss. Cosmetic fillers are not permanent. However, they are long-lasting, and when the effects wear off, you can schedule a follow-up treatment to continue enjoying the benefits. 

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

Dermal fillers come in a gel form that is injected underneath your skin to add volume and eliminate hollow areas on your face. The consistency of each filler differs. Dermal Fillers stimulate elastin and collagen production in your skin. These are two essential proteins in your body that help to keep your skin looking and feeling healthy. The proteins tighten and lift your skin to provide a more contoured appearance. This creates natural-looking results that you can enjoy immediately after treatment. 

What are the Treatments Like?

Dermal fillers are administered with an ultrafine needle to deliver the gel exactly where it needs to be injected. The treatment sessions are quick and easy and require no downtime, allowing you to continue with your daily activities, such as driving and going back to work after the treatment. Dermal Fillers are suitable for most skin types and tones, and treatment plans are customizable to suit your specific needs. 

Types of Dermal Fillers

There are many dermal fillers available. Each of them uses different active ingredients and targets different skin concerns. The more you know about each filler, the easier it will be to choose the right one for you. Here are some of the dermal fillers we offer: 

The Juvéderm Collection

Juvéderm has a range of fillers designed to treat a specific area of concern. The active ingredient in Juvéderm is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a chemical naturally found in your body. This makes Juvéderm a low-risk filler because it is a non-animal-derived treatment, and has a low chance of causing allergic reactions. The effects of Juvéderm can last up to eighteen months after treatment. Here is a breakdown of the Juvéderm range: 

Juvéderm Volbella

If you are looking for a Juvéderm lip filler, Juvéderm Volbella is perfect for you. This cosmetic filler restores volume loss in your lips and recontours your lip line. This gives your lips a more defined appearance and restores balance to your face. 

Juvéderm Voluma

As you age, you may develop hollow areas on your face. Your cheeks are particularly susceptible to hollows. This is due to a decrease in elastin and collagen in your skin. Juvéderm Voluma can effectively restore volume to your cheeks and give your face a fuller, more rejuvenated look. 

Juvéderm Vollure

There are not many cosmetic fillers that can effectively treat deep facial folds. Juvéderm Vollure is specifically designed to target deep facial folds. The gel used in this filler is much thicker than other fillers in the Juvéderm range. This filler can also be used to reduce the signs of wrinkles on the back of your hands. 

Juvéderm Ultra

Juvéderm Ultra is also a lip filler. It offers your lips plumpness and definition. It can also treat marionette lines that form between your chin and your mouth. 

Juvéderm Ultra Plus

Juvéderm Ultra Plus uses a thicker consistency gel to target deep facial folds and severe wrinkles. This filler offers more drastic results. Due to the thickness of the gel, it contains lidocaine to numb the skin in the target area. 

Restylane

Restylane is a versatile dermal filler that targets wrinkles, deep folds, and hollow areas on your face. It also uses hyaluronic acid to achieve results. HA attracts water molecules from your body to the skin in the target area to restore volume. The results that you achieve with Restylane can last up to eighteen months. 

Radiesse

The active ingredient in Radiesse is calcium hydroxylapatite. CaHA reduces the appearance of nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and many other facial folds. Radiesse can be used on your cheeks and hands to restore volume loss and reduce the signs of wrinkles. The results are long-lasting and seen immediately. Radiesse is slightly different from regular dermal fillers. It is a biostimulator that focuses on collagen production.

Revanesse

Revanesse relies on hyaluronic acid to target wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss. Revanesse uses a unique wet milling technology and spherical hyaluronic acid particles. This filler is typically used under your eyes. It can help you achieve more uniform, natural-looking results that appear discreetly and gradually.
