5 Uses for Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are injectable solutions to help refresh and plump the skin to enhance your appearance. The most common fillers are composed of hyaluronic acid, but there are many other skin-plumping substances out there to choose from. The filler you choose will also impact how long your results last, with results ranging from six to eighteen months.

 

Dermal fillers have become widely popular in recent years for their ability to non-invasively improve facial volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and augment areas of the face like the lips, chin, or nose, but that’s not where uses for this treatment stop.

 

Here are five incredible uses for dermal fillers.

1. Shape and Volumize the Lips

 

While some people were blessed with full, plump lips, there are many people who were not. The fact that the lips are one of the first facial features to thin with age doesn’t help either. That’s why more people are turning to dermal fillers to add volume and shape to their thin lips. This simple treatment can make a beautiful difference to your overall aesthetic.

2. Fade Away Laugh Lines

 

Laughter is the best medicine, but it can also lead to those pesky laugh lines forming around the mouth. These lines are also referred to as:

 

  • Nasolabial Lines
  • Smile lines
  • Marionette lines

 

They’re pretty much an inevitable part of aging, especially for people who are very expressive. However, if you’ve taken a dislike to your laugh lines, dermal fillers can easily clear them away. The fillers are injected into the actual creases around your mouth, adding volume and plumpness, making the creases much less visible.

3. Sculpt the Jawline and Cheeks

 

Aging can cause a weak or sagging chin or jawline. For others, genetics cause a weaker jawline or a small chin that looks disproportionate to the rest of the facial features. A strong jawline tends to be more attractive, which is why more people are looking into dermal fillers to help sculpt this area of their face. When used in the jawline, dermal fillers add much needed definition, leaving your face looking sharp and contoured.

 

4. Treating Acne Scars

 

For many people, the battle isn’t over once they get their acne under control. They’re left with icepick scars, rolling scars, boxed scars, or hypertrophic scars that rob them of a smooth, even skin texture. Dermal fillers can help lift depressed scars, giving the skin a smoother and brighter appearance. As a bonus, the way the injection needle targets the fibroblast cells in the skin also stimulates skin’s production of collagen and elastin, giving you longer-lasting results.

 

5. Fill Under Eye Hollows

Have you started to notice that the area beneath your eyes is starting to look hollow over the years? This is common and is due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin the occurs as we age. The skin loses its essential volume and structure, leading to hollowness. Since dermal fillers are great for restoring lost volume and plumping the skin, they are a great option to consider if you want to treat tear troughs or under eye hollows.
