Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers, are chemicals made specifically to be injected under the skin to boost volume and fullness in the face. While patients typically get this treatment to add fullness to their facial features, they actually have several other uses. Read on to learn about the many ways dermal fillers help with various skin concerns.

Plumping and enhancing lips

Celebrities love a good, puckered lip and lip fillers give them exactly that affect. This explains why dermal fillers are more common among A-listers. Moreover, since our lips naturally thin out as we age, this procedure is more popular among our older clients.

People typically go for dermal fillers when they want to make their lips look more defined and plump. This treatment may take a few visits to complete depending on your situation, but you’ll start seeing changes in your appearance after the first session.

For fuller cheeks

As we get older, we lose volume in our faces, particularly in the cheeks. This is especially true for runners and other athletes who engage in high-impact activities. Dermal fillers injected by a trained professional can give your cheeks their volume and youthful contours back, without the frozen-face effects of Botox. The best part? You don’t need to undergo expensive and time-consuming face lift surgery to get the look.

Defining the nose and chin

Instead of going for an expensive and invasive surgical procedure to reshape your chin, neck, or nose, you can simply get dermal fillers at Las Vegas Infuze Aesthetics & Wellness. Injectable dermal fillers are a popular nonsurgical treatment for changing the contours of the face, especially the chin, jawline, and nose. Patients often get them to enhance their side profile or reduce the appearance of drooping neck.

Get rid of scars left behind by acne

About 40% of people with severe acne also develop scars, according to studies. Scars from acne are equally as stubborn to remove as any other kind of scar. People who have face scars often feel self-conscious about them, even if others don’t notice them. Luckily, dermal fillers can help them regain their confidence bytreating acne scars and smoothing out the surrounding skin.

Fillers are typically injected below the scars. The procedure involves raising the scars that have sunk and settled, leaving behind skin that is more even and radiant. Some dermal fillers can also help break down the bands in the skin that produce the scars, so they eventually disappear.

Filling in deep undereye bags

Do the hollows under your eyes seem to be getting bigger with time? This is a normal part of the aging process, which involves the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This causes the skin to lose its fullness and structure, which in turn creates the hollowness. This depression a tear trough.

Dermal fillers are an excellent alternative for combating this hollowness because of how well they restore lost volume and elasticity in the skin. The fillers will work immediately and urge the skin to produce additional collagen and elastin on its own. Over time, these proteins will make those hollow areas look fuller.

Blur frown lines and wrinkles

In contrast to Botox, which temporarily numbs muscles and restricts the constant movement that causes specific wrinkles, fillers will ensure frown lines don’t appear even when your face is resting. These injections have hyaluronic acid which is an essential element of the skin. Dermal fillers inject this substance into your skin, making it plumper and concealing the appearance of wrinkles and frown lines.

Remove stubborn marionette lines and laugh lines

Lines around the lips, also known as marionette lines, are deep creases that can make a person look much older than they are. By replacing lost volume in these areas, fillers can make the face look younger and more balanced in no time. The creases that form around the mouth when you laugh or smile are called nasolabial folds. Dermal fillers smooth out this area and provide a youthful, refreshed appearance without altering the face’s natural contours.

For softer, smoother, younger looking hands

You’ve probably noticed that your hands have thin skin. Hand skin is also more vulnerable to the elements since it is the part of your body that gets the most exposure. This is also why your hands are the first place signs of aging and sun damage will appear.

Laser resurfacing and chemical peels can be effective treatments to resurface this skin, but dermal fillers are the only option that can bring back its suppleness and elasticity. This procedure instantly enhances the fullness of the hands by restoring their volume. It’s a great way to hide the signs of aging like wrinkles, tendons, veins, and bones.
