Age on your Terms

By Alistair Leaven


The elasticity of skin that comes naturally weakens over time, saggy skin, wrinkles and lines are the result. Young skin looks plump and taut thanks to collagen, but as we age, the collagen in our skin slowly decreases. The effects of dermal fillers are immediate - so you do not have to wait for weeks until the swelling has gone down to see how the procedure has turned out.

There are all kinds of terms for dermal fillers, including injectable facial fillers, facial fillers, tissue fillers, cosmetic fillers, injectable cosmetic fillers, injectable hyaluronic acid, or injectable collagen. There are many things dermal fillers are used for to rejuvenate the face, recessed scars can be made less prominent, to make skin appear fuller, and of course to reduce lines and wrinkles. These fillers are primarily utilized for correcting the deep lines that show up between the side of the mouth and the nose, or between eyebrows and to enhance and increase lip size and shape.

This method can actually make it seem as if you have the face of your youth, looking younger using this slightly invasive process. There is a fast recovery period, sometimes none, and they are much cheaper and less risky than a face lift. Whether for lines and wrinkles, or to make acne or accidental scarring less prominent, many people are choosing dermal fillers. When plastic surgery seems like too invasive of a procedure, dermal filler injections are the right option to revive your appearance.

When a patient opts to use a method other than surgery, dermal fillers are the second most common choice, coming just behind injections of Botox. There are very few complications associated with the procedure. The risks that do exist include infection, bruising, swelling, itching, migration of the filler, rash, or dissatisfaction with the results.
