5 Things to Know About Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers can create an incredible level of facial rejuvenation, smoothing away the years or creating an ideal facial balance by adding volume at the jawline or cheeks or an enhanced pout. However, the perfect outcome of filler injections is a look that appears entirely natural, not fake or overdone, and that’s where Dr. Kim’s team of injectors excel. To better understand the basics of dermal fillers, there are five things to know:
Not all fillers are the same.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers have been developed in a range of formulas. A very soft, pliable filler may be the ideal choice for your lips and to smooth vertical lip lines, while a thicker gel (such as Restylane Lyft or Juvéderm Voluma) is better suited for adding cheek, jawline, or chin volume.
The skills of your injector are the primary issue in the beauty of your results.
To look natural, beautiful, and fresh, filler injections are based on the skills of the injector. The injections must be performed precisely, in the right areas, with the right type of needle and filler to achieve the best outcome. Choose your injector carefully! With a true master of the art administering your injections, you can expect more beautiful results and less bruising.
Filler injections can appear entirely natural.
With the right filler formula and a precision approach to injections, your results can appear natural, not overdone, and create an effect that looks fresh, smooth, and as if made by nature. The ideal outcome of filler injections is a refreshed look that others can’t identify as being achieved with fillers. Dr. Kim’s team of injectors has filler injection techniques down to a fine art!
Filler enhancements are a commitment.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers, such as the Restylane and Juvéderm lines, do not last forever. Your system slowly absorbs the filler over time, and each type lasts for several months or longer. To maintain the refreshed, enhanced look, you will need to schedule regular injections, which may be every six, twelve, or eighteen months. Generally, thinner filler formulas are absorbed more quickly.
HA fillers have an added benefit.
The synthetic hyaluronic acid in Restylane and Juvéderm has an added benefit – these products keep the skin hydrated and can stimulate an increase in natural collagen production and skin cell regeneration. Your skin will appreciate the added hydration by:
- Looking plumper and firmer
- Feeling softer and silkier
- Looking and feeling fresher and more youthful
