There are many reasons why so many people love this non-surgical way to enhance your natural features.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are substances injected into the skin to add volume and shape. They come in many different formulas for different parts of the face and different kinds of improvememt. The most common and safest dermal filler material is hyaluronic acid gel, a key hydrating component of your connective tissues and skin. We offer the following families of fillers using this material:
Top 5 Benefits of Dermal Fillers
One reason so many people choose dermal fillers is that they offer benefits for almost anyone. Whether your goal is to look younger, enhance your features, or restore lost volume, these injectable treatments can help.
Smoothes Lines and Wrinkles
One popular use of dermal fillers is to treat lines and wrinkles. These may include deep creases such as nasolabial folds and marionette lines but can also include tiny lines around the lips that lipstick can bleed into.
Adds Volume and Definition
Areas like the cheeks, jawline, and lips can look fuller and more sculpted with dermal filler injections. They can replace lost volume or enhance almost any area of the face or help you achieve plump, attractive lips.
Quick, Convenient Treatments
Dermal filler injections can take as little as 15 minutes. At Krauss Dermatology, all of our injections are performed by board-certified dermatologists. The injections feel like a minor pinch at most, making the treatment comfortable even for people who dislike shots. We utilize lidocaine creams, lidocaine injections and ice to make the procedure as comfortable as possible.
No Downtime Required
You can leave your dermal filler appointment and return to your usual activities with no downtime. Any swelling or minor bruising will fade within a few days. No one needs to know you stopped in for a quick session during your lunch break. We do advise waiting overnight to exercise to minimize bruising. We zap visible bruising with our vascular lasers on the same or next day to allow our patients the maximum time to enjoy their filler without side effects.
Natural-Looking Results
Our dermatologists have a superior understanding of facial anatomy that lets them enhance your features in a way that looks noticeable but natural. You choose your level of volume boost for customized results that achieve your goals.
How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
While some types of dermal fillers have delayed results, hyaluronic acid fillers provide almost immediate improvements. Your final results may take a few days to log their best as any swelling or minor bruising fades. Once established, these fillers tend to have a lifespan of one to two years. We will help you establish a schedule to maintain your rejuvenated look.
