Dermal Fillers Can Give You the Youthful Skin You Desire

In the past, drastic procedures like plastic surgery were often the only option for those seeking a younger-looking, rejuvenated appearance. Thankfully, modern advancements in cosmetic dermatology offer some less invasive options to achieve and maintain smooth, plump skin.

At Shady Grove Dermatology, our team’s experience and expertise with cosmetic injectables, including dermal fillers, ensure natural-looking results that enhance your features and give you the youthful skin you desire. 

Here’s how this innovative treatment works to take years off your appearance.

The science behind dermal fillers

Dermal fillers have quickly become one of the most popular noninvasive cosmetic procedures on the market, with over 2.6 million Americans opting for this treatment every year. Whether you’re looking to address fine lines, wrinkles, or loss of volume, fillers offer a safe and effective solution.

Hyaluronic acid-based fillers like Belotero®, Juvéderm®, and Restylane® are the most common types. These fillers mimic the body’s natural hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin and add volume to sunken or sagging areas.

Other options include poly-L-lactic acid fillers, which stimulate collagen production for a gradual improvement in skin texture, and calcium hydroxylapatite fillers, which provide immediate volume and support for deeper wrinkles. 

Our team can help you determine the most suitable filler for your specific goals.

Understanding the benefits

Dermal fillers can treat multiple areas of your face, including your lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows. They’re even able to plump thin skin on your hands, reducing the appearance of prominent veins and wrinkles.

By adding volume and smoothing out creases, fillers can address a wide range of cosmetic concerns associated with aging. Let’s take a look at some other key benefits of dermal fillers:

Natural-looking results

Our skilled dermatologists artfully administer fillers to enhance your features subtly, avoiding an overfilled or frozen look. We can tailor the treatment to complement your specific facial structure and desired outcome.

Minimal downtime

Most people can resume their normal routine and activities immediately after getting dermal fillers. There may be some mild swelling or redness, but this typically subsides in a few days.

Quick results with long-lasting effects

After your procedure, you can see immediate results with full effects visible within days. This rapid improvement can boost your confidence and provide a quick solution for special occasions. 

Depending on the type of filler and treatment area, your results can last anywhere from several months to a year, or longer.

Built-in pain relief

Many types of dermal fillers contain a local anesthetic to minimize discomfort during treatment. You might also benefit from topical numbing cream or ice packs to further reduce any sensation.
