What are fillers?

Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that can rejuvenate your appearance by adding strategic volume. Gel-like substances in the fillers, like hyaluronic acid (HA), can plump up areas of your face lacking volume. 

You can use injectable fillers to treat:

  • Nasolabial folds
  • Marionette lines
  • Smile lines
  • Sunken cheeks
  • Sunken under-eyes
  • Thin lips
  • A weak or uneven jawline
  • Aging, flat earlobes
  • Indented scars

The results of fillers can last for months to years, depending on the type of filler you get. Your dermatologist can help you compare options at Park City Dermatology based on your cosmetic goals and skin laxity. 

What are the benefits of fillers?

Dermal fillers might allow you to avoid cosmetic surgery to reach your anti-aging goals. There are plenty of benefits beyond the fact that fillers can restore a more youthful and volumized appearance.

You might be interested in choosing dermal fillers as your beauty-enhancing treatment because they:

  • Are noninvasive 
  • Produce quick results
  • Are versatile
  • Offer long-lasting results
  • Are reversible with dissolvers

Some dermal fillers contain collagen-stimulating components that firm your skin and give it more structure, which leads to longer-lasting results. Collagen is a structural fiber that occurs naturally in your skin but diminishes with age. You might consider fillers before more permanent options like surgery because they’re temporary and reversible. 

How can I further enhance the results of fillers?

Some cosmetic features are treated better with other procedures compared to fillers. If you want well-rounded results that address your cosmetic needs, consider working with your Park City Dermatology provider to undergo a comprehensive treatment plan using multiple treatments. 

Botox® and Xeomin® are cosmetic injectables that can address fine wrinkles that dermal fillers can’t treat. These products can alleviate forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and other fine lines caused by repeated facial expressions and muscle movements. 

You might also consider laser procedures for brighter and smoother skin or the Ellacor Micro-Coring treatment for wrinkles and jowls on your lower face.
