How Dermal Fillers Improve Your Skin
Dermal fillers are a non-invasive procedure dermatologists and plastic surgeons use to restore fullness and volume to your face. As you age, crow's feet and smile lines become more visible. You also lose facial volume as your skin stretches over time. Dermal fillers in Delray Beach, FL can help restore lost facial volume and more:
- Enhance shallow facial contours
- Soften wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of scars
- Reconstruct contour facial deformities
- Remove lower lid shadows
If you have signs of facial aging, a dermal filler is an excellent alternative to invasive procedures like plastic surgery to restore your youthful glow.
What Is a Dermal Filler?
A dermal filler is a gel-like substance Dr. Tivoli and other doctors use to inject into the soft tissue of your face. Doctors and scientists formulate the gel mostly around hyaluronic acid (although other ingredients and compounds are used to formulate the gel), which is an organic chemical found in a person's skin and other parts of the body.
You'll also find hyaluronic acid in many popular skincare products. The ingredient helps increase moisture while reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Unfortunately, many people start to lose this critical natural ingredient as they age.
The Filler Process
Painless and relatively symptom-free, injecting dermal fillers into your facial skin takes around 30 minutes and is typically done in an office setting. Before the injection, the doctor will evaluate your medical history along with the part of your skin receiving treatment.
Although the risk of a bad outcome from fillers is low, it's important to disclose your complete medical history to your doctor. You could jeopardize the results of the treatment and your safety if you don't disclose medications you're taking, allergies you may have, or any neurological or skin conditions.
