How Fillers Can Improve Your Confidence

As skin ages, it's perfectly normal and natural to experience some loss of flexibility, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Our Wilmington, DE, dermatologist offers a wide variety of treatment options that can reduce their appearance, and dermal fillers are one of the most popular of these. You can learn more about fillers and their benefits by contacting Dr. Michael Saruk of Delaware Valley Dermatology Group.

Why Wrinkles Happen

As skin loses its elasticity, it also becomes dryer and thinner, so it's more difficult for it to protect itself and bounce back from damage. Wrinkles begin to form at the natural creases that form on your face and these can deepen with age.

Besides your age, there are other factors that can contribute to the formation of wrinkles, and these include overexposure to the sun's rays, smoking, your general environment, certain medications, and genetics.

How Fillers Can Help

While it's not possible to turn back the clock completely, you'll be surprised by the effect that fillers can have on your skin. The treatment involves injecting a solution beneath your skin to make it look smoother and lessen the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They accomplish this by expanding the surface of the skin, making it look more youthful.

Consult with your dermatologist to learn about the different types of fillers available, there are different solutions and each offers its own set of benefits so it's important to discuss your expectations with your doctor so they can recommend you the best treatment for your individual needs.
