Aging is a natural progression of life that cannot be undone, but even as the body is decreasing hormone production, showing signs of stress, or damage from sun exposure, you don't have to say goodbye to your youthful appearance forever. Dr. Michael Saruk with Delaware Valley Dermatology Group in Wilmington, DE, is happy to share how fillers can provide the youthful look you deserve!

Causes Of Aging Skin

While certain aspects of your lifestyle (e.g. stress, sun damage, lack of sleep, etc.) impact the appearance of the skin, fine lines or wrinkles are also a result of a decline in collagen production.

Collagen is a protein in our skin cells that provides durable support and structure. Alongside of collagen is another protein in the skin called elastin, which keeps the skin flexible and its ability to quickly bounce back.

When our skin loses these proteins, fine lines and wrinkles settle onto the skin where your facial muscles are most active (e.g. between the eyebrows, corners of the eyes or mouth, forehead, etc.).

The Benefits Of Fillers

If you're considering fillers in Wilmington, DE, you probably have plenty of questions or concerns about the nonsurgical treatment, and it's understandable why you may have some reservations.

Injecting the face for aesthetic purposes sounds daunting, but Dr. Saruk with Delaware Valley Dermatology Group is a skilled practitioner who prioritizes a fresh-faced appearance for all of his patients.

Safely utilizing the benefits of wrinkle relaxers (e.g. Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin) is a surefire way to prolong the days of your youth without the not-so-subtle reminder of recurring facial movements.

Using wrinkle relaxers in combination with fillers (i.e. containing the lifting and plumping properties) can help restore the beautiful and natural shape of your face. Fillers replenish any lost structure to the lips, cheeks, and other areas with fine lines.

Receiving fillers is not a lengthy process, and can be administered within mere minutes. The effects of fillers will depend on the type of filler and the areas you wish to tackle, but generally they will last anywhere from 6 months to two years.
