As you age, it’s normal for your face to lose volume, for wrinkles and lines to begin to appear, and for your lips to become less plump. But while it may be normal, sometimes you may want a little boost to help you look and feel fresh and youthful. Dermal fillers are products that can be used to help reverse some of the signs of aging and help you enhance some of your facial features.
At Legacy Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we want you to always look and feel your best. If you are preparing for a special occasion or you just want to treat yourself to plumper lips or fuller cheeks, dermal fillers such as JUVÉDERM® offer many different options that can suit your unique needs.
Dermal fillers are injectables that restore lost volume, smooth away wrinkles, and refine facial contours. These fillers are formulated with substances like hyaluronic acid, which not only fills lost volume in the skin but also promotes hydration. For those seeking a refreshed, youthful look, dermal fillers offer a versatile and non-invasive option.
Injectable fillers work by delivering gel-like substances beneath the skin, where they can plump up thin lips, soften facial creases, or enhance shallow contours. When injected, these fillers add immediate volume, which lasts several months before being naturally broken down by the body.
Filler treatments are often used to fill in deep lines around the mouth, known as nasolabial folds, or to add volume to sunken cheeks. Fillers can also be used to reshape the chin or jawline and improve the shape and volume of the lips.
JUVÉDERM VOLUMA is a type of dermal filler that is specifically formulated to add volume to the cheeks. It uses a thicker hyaluronic acid gel that lifts and contours the midface to treat age-related volume loss. JUVÉDERM VOLUMA can provide a subtle lift and enhance facial harmony with results that are long-lasting due to its robust formulation.
JUVÉDERM VOLBELLA is a dermal filler made for delicate areas. Its smooth, lightweight gel makes it ideal for subtle lip enhancements and treating fine lines around the mouth. Additionally, VOLBELLA is an excellent lip filler and under-eye filler, effectively minimizing under-eye hollows and achieving a refreshed look.
JUVÉDERM VOLLURE is one of the facial fillers tailored for wrinkles and folds on the lower face such as nasolabial folds. It combines hyaluronic acid with Vycross® technology, resulting in a filler that balances flexibility and support.
JUVÉDERM Ultra Plus is a robust formulation used for deeper lines and more significant volume loss. It is suitable for treating more pronounced facial wrinkles and folds for sustained improvement.
Dermal fillers can last anywhere from six months to two years, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated. This can be different for everyone because of differences in metabolism, facial structure, facial expressions, and lifestyle. Taking care of your skin is the best way to keep your results as long as possible.
During treatment with injectable fillers, you can expect a quick and non-invasive treatment. The area will be cleaned, and a topical anesthetic or a vibration tool may be used to promote comfort. The filler is then injected into the target areas, and the process usually takes about 30 minutes.
Yes, many cosmetic fillers are FDA-approved. This includes JUVÉDERM products, which have undergone rigorous testing and have approval for specific applications such as lips, under-eyes, chin augmentation, and more.
There is minimal to no downtime after getting dermal fillers. Most patients can return to their daily activities immediately, although it’s common to experience slight swelling or bruising at the injection site. This typically resolves within a few days.
While changes are noticeable right away, you can expect to see the full results of facial fillers within one to two weeks after the treatment. Initial swelling may obscure the final outcome, but as it subsides, the enhanced contours and smoothed lines become more apparent.
A good candidate for a filler treatment is someone looking to address signs of aging, such as wrinkles, fine lines, and volume loss without invasive procedures. We look for patients who are in good overall health and have healthy skin with no active skin infections. Candidates should be those who have no known allergies to filler ingredients.
