How Dermal Fillers Provide Natural-looking Results
You look in the mirror and staring back at you is an older version of yourself, one that doesn’t match your still-youthful spirit. If you want to dial back the years, but still look like you, dermal fillers are an excellent solution.
As part of the extensive array of services here at Lafferty Family Care, Dr. Scott Lafferty and our team offer several aesthetic treatments that can help you achieve your cosmetic goals. If you want to see the face you remember from a few years back, dermal fillers are just the ticket.
Here’s a look at some of the many advantages of dermal fillers and why they deliver natural-looking results.
An all-natural solution to an age-old problem
As you grow older, there are several processes that occur in your face that can lead to signs of aging. First, exposure to the sun can break down the collagen and elastin fibers in your skin, leaving you with fine lines and wrinkles.
As well, your collagen production begins to wane, allowing your skin to droop and sag. At the same time, the thin layer of fat located behind your skin begins to shift, which can cause a loss of volume in your face.
Fortunately, dermal fillers can address all of these issues, quickly and naturally, which is why the treatment sits in the No. 2 position in minimally invasive cosmetic treatments in the United States, just behind Botox® and its counterparts.
At our practice, we use the industry-leading brand Juvéderm®, which offers an extensive line of fillers that all contain hyaluronic acid. This substance naturally occurs in your body, especially in your joints, and encourages moisture retention.
What Juvéderm fillers can accomplish
With our Juvéderm dermal fillers, we can accomplish a number of objectives, including:
- Plumping thinning lips
- Filling in deep nasolabial folds
- Reducing marionette lines
- Restoring volume to your cheeks
- Reducing sag in your jowls
- Smoothing out vertical lines around your lips
Since Juvéderm contains hyaluronic acid, your body readily accepts the substance and your results are immediate. As for how long they last, it varies from one person to the next, but generally about 6-12 months.
If you really want to dial back the years, you can combine dermal fillers with Botox treatments, which will cover the top and bottom halves of your face for an overall anti-aging effect.
While these types of cosmetic injectables are quick and easy, our clients love them because they deliver natural-looking results that don’t scream, “You’ve had work done.”
