Benefits of Dermal Fillers in Surrey BC

Dermal fillers continue to steadily grow in popularity every year as they become more accessible and new affordable versions come onto the market. Specialists have had years to perfect the application of dermal fillers, making the injections of dermal fillers continue to be a safe and effective treatment. They are the second most common non-surgical cosmetic procedure and continue to develop as more companies make upgraded versions of the fillers that can be manipulated in new ways to provide a broader scope of treatments. The use of dermal fillers has particularly grown in the younger population, no longer strictly being an anti-aging treatment, but also to increase volume in other parts of the face and body to provide symmetry, balance, and increased aesthetic appeal for the patients.

Dermal fillers can be used to increase volume, hydrate, and soften the skin on any surface of the body as most types of dermal fillers are created with a base of hyaluronic acid, which is a naturally occurring substance in our body that provides structure to the skin. They can be specifically injected into wrinkles, fine lines, and any other areas on the surface of the skin that vary in texture to provide a smooth, plump complexion. This includes reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles that have developed on the face due to aging, but also reducing the appearance of cellulite, dimpling in the skin, and laxity in the skin all over the body. Dermal fillers are very versatile, with there being a wide variety of formulations varying in viscosity to allow for the filling in of deep creases, and thinner gels to smooth out and plump the skin of a larger surface area, all while providing natural and youthful results.

The amount of time that you should go in between injections of dermal fillers depends on how quickly your body metabolizes the injected substances, as well as how much filler was used and what part of the body was treated. They can end up lasting anywhere from 3 months to two years, with the shorter timeline likely including patients who are older and are using the dermal fillers to reduce the appearance of deeper creasing in the skin, and the long timeline more likely for the younger patients who are receiving the filler to provide volume to areas such as the cheeks. Your injectionist will be able to create a schedule that works for your specific needs and lifestyle to ensure that the dermal fillers are provided frequently enough to ensure that the results will be maintained as much as possible, without over-filling the area. Having too much dermal filler injected or receiving the same injections too frequently will result in unnatural or uneven results due to the facial contours being overly round.

The substances injected into the skin will naturally dissolve and be processed by the body, eventually causing the results to fade. If the patient wants long-term results, they will have to continue receiving dermal fillers until they choose otherwise. Once the fillers have completely dissolved, the skin will return to how it was before the injections, so fine lines and wrinkles will be visible again, and the added volume will disappear. However, if the fillers were provided to reduce the appearance of aging in the skin, the aging process won’t speed up to make up for the time lost while the filler is active in the skin, your skin will simply return to how it was before and then continue with the natural aging process.
