Aging is a fact of life whether we like it or not. However, while getting old is inevitable, looking old doesn’t have to be.

Thanks to injectables like dermal fillers, you can maintain a youthful glow. If you’re curious about how these treatments can help, this article is definitely for you.

Let’s take a closer look.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

In general, dermal fillers refer to soft tissue fillers that can add volume to the skin or lips, smooth creases and folds, and fill in tear troughs.

On top of these, they can also be used to reduce the appearance of any pitted acne scars. In some cases, dermal fillers are used to sculpt the jawline and add projection to the chin.

There are many kinds of dermal fillers and depending on your aesthetic goals, each one can help you look younger and more radiant than ever.

What Are Examples of Dermal Fillers?

Whether you’re after restoring lost volume, plumping up your lips, or enhancing your skin, Sedalia Aesthetics offers a variety of dermal fillers. These include:

Radiesse

Radiesse is an FDA-approved dermal filler for treating smile lines, marionette lines, as well as moderate to severe facial wrinkles and folds.

When injected into the treatment area, Radiesse helps add fullness and gives your face a more youthful appearance. Aside from that, it can also help contour your chin and cheeks which can reduce the signs of aging.

Juvéderm

There’s also Juvéderm, a dermal filler made with hyaluronic acid (HA) which helps your skin look supple, plump, and youthful.

Just like other dermal fillers, it can help smooth fine lines and wrinkles and restore volume. In addition, it helps improve your skin’s firmness and elasticity.

RHA

Another option is the RHA Collection of dermal fillers. These dermal fillers are used for the correction of moderate to severe dynamic facial wrinkles and folds.

Moreover, it is also used to enhance the natural shape of your lips and they can fill and contour your cheeks.

Reasons To Get Dermal Fillers

There are more benefits to getting dermal fillers than what you may have known. In fact, here are 4 additional reasons why it’s worth a try:

It Helps Increase Elastin and Collagen Production

Dermal fillers with hyaluronic acid can help increase the levels of collagen and elastin, which are known to help your skin look and feel younger.

It Provides Faster Results

Unlike some treatments, dermal fillers produce a noticeable difference almost immediately, with results appearing within days after the treatment and the full results manifesting in just a few weeks.

It’s Safe and Minimally-Invasive

Generally, the pain and downtime throughout the dermal filler process is minimal at most. While you may experience some swelling, redness, and bruising around the treated areas, this is generally mild and should subside after a few days.

While serious side effects are rare, individual experiences vary. Always consult a qualified professional before undergoing treatment.

The Results Can Last for Months

Dermal filler effects can last from 6-18 months depending on the kind of fillers you had. Either way, you only need maintenance touch-ups semi-annually, at least.
