Dermal Fillers Specialist in Beverly Hills, CA

Dermal fillers are widely used as cosmetic fillers to help diminish facial lines as well as restore any lost volume and fullness in the face. We all age, and as we begin to age, naturally our faces begin to lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are able to work closer to the skin’s surface, this way the smile lines and crow’s feet become more visible.

Not only that, the facial skin also begins to stretch and lose elasticity as we age, which adds to the loss of volume noted earlier. There are other factors that also affect our skin other than age, which include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle.

Dermal fillers provide a soft, gel-like substance that is injected by a professional medical practitioner. This injection is put under the skin to direct a number of age-related concerns that our patients may have, some of which include:

– Smoothing out deep under-eye circles
– Lifting sunken cheekbones
– Adding volume to thinning lips
– Smoothing out creases and lip lines which are known to run from the side of the nose down to the corners of the mouth
– Rejuvenating aging hands

Not all dermal fillers are created with the same contents, most of which are actually composed of common compounds including hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance that is naturally found in our skin. Hyaluronic acid plays a key role in keeping our skin healthy, and hydrated while adding volume to the areas where it is needed.

A few other substances that are commonly found in dermal filler injections include a premixed numbing agent; this numbing agent helps to maximize the patient’s comfort during their filler treatment. In some fillers, calcium hydroxylapatite may also be mixed into the filler, it is a mineral-like compound which is a natural compound found in our body as well. Previously, plastic surgery has constantly used it as it helps with the density and reconstructive aspects with a long-proven track record of safety features during surgery.

With dermal fillers, there are also synthetic aspects that are included in the filler like Poly-L-lactic acid which stimulates the natural collagen production. Fillers that use this synthetic ingredient as they provide a more gradual result than instantaneous. With this ingredient, it adds volume over a few months.

Depending where you decide to go for dermal fillers will depend on the cost, including the brand you decide to go for.

The longevity of the dermal filler will depend on the brand of filler you go with at your treatment. Dermal fillers are not permanent, they are temporary filler that is maintained to keep your youthful and radiant look. The effects of dermal fillers usually last around three months or longer. However, as stated previously it completely depends on the product in which you are having injected at the time of your treatment.
