Over time, our skin loses volume, leading to a sagging look, fine lines, wrinkles, and thinner lips. Thankfully, dermal fillers, also known as cosmetic fillers, can help bring back some of that lost volume and refresh our appearance. At Gifted Medspa in Cary, NC, we proudly offer dermal fillers as a crucial part of our comprehensive range of aesthetic treatments. Dermal fillers are a popular way to address various signs of aging, providing a smoother, more youthful look. With dermal fillers, you can trust us to provide a tailored approach to achieving your aesthetic goals.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a cosmetic treatment that involves the injection of gel-like substances beneath the skin’s surface to restore lost volume, smooth lines, and enhance facial contours. The primary ingredient in most fillers is hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin known for its ability to retain moisture and create a plump, hydrated appearance.
Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Instant Results
One of the most appealing aspects of dermal fillers is the immediate improvement in appearance. Unlike some treatments that require time to show results, fillers provide instant enhancement, allowing patients to enjoy their rejuvenated look right after the treatment.
Minimal Downtime
Dermal fillers offer a fast and simple treatment with little downtime. Patients can continue their day-to-day activities immediately after treatment, making it convenient for those on the go.
Natural-Looking Results
When administered by skilled professionals, dermal fillers can produce natural-looking results. We aim to subtly enhance your features so you still look like yourself but refreshed and revitalized.
Customizable Treatment
Dermal fillers offer a high degree of customization. The type and amount of filler used can be customized to address specific concerns and achieve the desired outcome, whether adding volume to the lips or smoothing out nasolabial folds.
Long-Lasting Effects
While not permanent, the effects of dermal fillers can last for several months to a year or more, depending on the type of filler used and the individual’s metabolism. This provides a relatively long-lasting solution to common signs of aging.
Non-Surgical Alternative
For those hesitant about undergoing surgery, dermal fillers provide a non-surgical alternative for facial rejuvenation compared to more invasive procedures. This means less risk and no need for general anesthesia or lengthy recovery periods.
Compatibility With Other Treatments
Dermal fillers can be combined with other cosmetic treatments, such as Botox® or laser therapy, for a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. This allows for a customized treatment plan that addresses multiple concerns simultaneously.
Which Dermal Fillers Do We Provide?
JUVÉDERM®
JUVÉDERM is a popular line of dermal fillers that uses hyaluronic acid to provide volume and smooth out wrinkles and lines. JUVÉDERM is well-known for its smooth consistency and long-lasting results, making it a favorite choice for enhancing lips, cheeks, and other facial areas.
Restylane®
Restylane is another highly regarded dermal filler that also utilizes hyaluronic acid. It’s designed to mimic your body’s natural hyaluronic acid, providing natural-looking results. Restylane is particularly effective for treating under-eye circles, lip enhancement, and facial contouring.
What to Anticipate with Dermal Fillers
Preparation
Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be thoroughly cleansed to ensure a sterile environment. For some injectable fillers, a topical numbing cream may be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort. It’s important to discuss any allergies or medical conditions with us to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
Injection
We will be carefully injected into the targeted areas using a fine needle. We will strategically place the filler to achieve the desired results, such as smoothing wrinkles or adding volume to the lips. Dermal filler injections are quick, typically taking only a few minutes per area, and most patients report only mild discomfort, similar to a slight pinch.
Post-treatment
After receiving the injections, you may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising. These side effects are common and usually mild. They typically subside within a few days. You can alleviate swelling by applying ice to the area, and it’s recommended to avoid engaging in strenuous activities for the first 24 hours to allow the filler to settle properly.
