Top 5 Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Aging affects your face in many ways, including loss of volume from your cheeks, under your eyes, and in other parts of your face. At the same time, collagen loss can lead to lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial definition. Restore your fuller, more youthful look with dermal fillers, a non-surgical treatment that replaces lost volume. 

What are Dermal Fillers?

At Alamo Ranch Laser Aesthetics, we offer the entire family of Juvederm® dermal fillers. These fillers use a material called hyaluronic acid. You will find this compound in many hydrating skincare products and naturally in your skin. Each Juvederm® formula has a different formula that makes it suitable for different uses. 

Top 5 Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers have many uses, and Juvederm® is the most popular filler family in the world due to the many benefits it offers. In the hands of our expert injectors, your results can look as dramatic or subtle as you prefer.

Plump Your Lips

Thin lips can occur as the result of volume loss, but some people are born with them or prefer a fuller look. Juvederm® lip fillers can plump your lips with natural-looking volume that moves smoothly and never looks artificial. Fuller lips look more youthful and attract attention to your beautiful smile. Lip fillers can also be used to treat fine lines around the mouth.

Enhance Your Cheeks

The firmest Juvederm® fillers are used to restore definition and fullness to areas like the cheek and jaw. If you have hollow cheeks due to volume loss, these fillers are among the most effective non-surgical ways to restore them. You can achieve sculpted cheeks that make you feel more confident in any situation. 

Smooth Lines and Wrinkles

Juvederm® fillers in the mid-range of density and firmness are often used for lines and wrinkles. Popular areas include marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and other wrinkles. Unlike expression lines on the forehead and brows that are usually treated with Botox®, wrinkles caused by skin laxity are ideal for dermal fillers. 

No Downtime

You can return to your daily routine immediately after your appointment. While no downtime is required, you may notice minor bruising, swelling, or redness in the area that fades within a day or two. Results are visible immediately after treatment, although they may look different from your final result for the first few days as the swelling resolves. 

Results May Last a Year or More

Dermal filler results are long-lasting. Juvederm® formulas used for the cheeks can last up to two years. Line and wrinkle fillers can also last one to two years. Lip fillers, which are softer and more flexible, can last six months to a year. Each person’s body will respond differently to dermal fillers and remove them at a different rate. 

Am I a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Because hyaluronic acid is so common in your skin, Juvederm® fillers are safe for almost anyone. Good candidates should have reasonable expectations and understand the risks and benefits. You should not have injections if you have an infection or active skin condition in the treatment area. People with certain medical conditions may not be good candidates.
