Minimally invasive cosmetic procedures such as dermal fillers can help reduce the appearance of visible signs of aging. If you're thinking of getting dermal fillers for younger-looking skin, you should start by discussing your options with your Delray Beach, FL, Dermatologist, Dr. Yvette Tivoli of Atlantic Derm.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like injectables your dermatologist can inject into your skin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and other visible signs of aging.
As you age, the tissues that form your face such as skin, muscle, bone, and fat begin to lose volume. The result is the signs that you see in the mirror including sagging, wrinkling, jaw retraction, and lowering of the cheekbones.
Dermal fillers might contain the following:
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid
- Autologous Fat Injections
- Polymethylmethacrylate
Your Delray Beach, FL, dermatologist, Dr. Tivoli would suggest the type of dermal filler that works best for your problem areas.
Dermal fillers can help reduce lines around your lips and nose. You could also get dermal fillers to restore the volume in your cheeks and temples. If you want to plump these areas up, you could achieve that with dermal fillers.
The Process
To begin your journey with dermal fillers, your dermatologist in Delray Beach, FL, will examine your target areas and review your medical history at Atlantic Derm.
This review helps your dermatologist pick the right filler for your skin and consider possible allergies or medication.
Injecting dermal fillers isn't too painful and many people manage the discomfort well. To begin, your dermatologist will clean the area and apply the anesthetic cream. So, don't let your fear of pain discourage you.
After your injection, you might experience some swelling and bruising but this goes down on its own after a while.
Dermal fillers aren't permanent, they last about 6 to 18 months. If you want to maintain your results, you need routine visits to your dermatologist at Atlantic Derm for touch-ups.
