Dermal fillers have become a go-to beauty solution because the are quick, painless, affordable treatments with nearly instant results, minimal risk, and zero downtime. If you’re ready to explore the benefits of dermal fillers, consider these areas where strategically injected fillers can produce outstanding results.
1. Cheeks
As you get older, your body will make less collagen and elastin – structural proteins that act as your skin’s scaffolding and provide resilience and elasticity. Mid-facial volume loss is one result of a lack of these two essentials. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers have the dual benefit of contouring the cheeks and encouraging new collagen growth. Dr. Schmidt can use his extensive knowledge of facial anatomy to subtly highlight your cheekbones and volumize in targeted spots.
2. Lips
The lips are another area that often experiences age-related volume loss. Many women want to enhance their lips with fillers, improving their size and shape while minimizing perioral wrinkles. If you’re worried that lip enhancement will create an overly exaggerated appearance, rest assured that Dr. Schmidt takes care to create a natural shape by introducing precise amounts of lip filler. You can also choose to start small and gradually aim for a more dramatic enhancement.
3. Parentheses Lines
Parentheses lines, also called nasolabial folds, are the wrinkles that bracket your mouth, from your nose to the corners of your mouth. Though they result from years of smiling, you might still find them unappealing. Fillers can erase these mild to moderate hallmarks of aging for people who aren’t ready to consider a facelift.
4. Acne Scars
Acne breakouts can affect your self-esteem, and so can the souvenirs they leave behind. Hyaluronic acid fillers are a solution for diminishing shallow acne scars and creating smoother skin by stimulating renewed collagen production. While the results are not permanent, filler for acne scars can last longer than fillers used in more mobile parts of your face, such as your lips. To prolong your results, you might only need to return for touch-ups a couple times per year.
5. Tear Troughs
Many people are prone to developing dark undereye circles with age. This phenomenon can occur as the skin thins and reveals more of the underlying blood vessels, creating a permanently fatigued appearance. When dark circles and hollowness under your eyes make you look ill or tired, it becomes challenging to hide, no matter how much makeup you wear.
While a lower eyelid lift is one way to solve under eye issues, expertly applied tear trough filler is a solution for people with a less advanced degree of aging or those who are unwilling or unable to have surgery.
