Considering dermal fillers? Here are five benefits of the popular aesthetic treatment that you might not have known!
Dermal fillers are one of our most varied treatments at Secret Skin Aesthetics. Used to enhance contours and restore volume lost with age, they’re a versatile solution for multiple concerns and skin types.
Whether you’re considering dermal fillers, or you’d just like to know more, you’re in the right place! In this blog, Nurse Louise will share the most popular uses for dermal fillers, alongside their many benefits.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are derived from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body. Injected into the dermis layer of the skin, they address two main skin goals.
Volume Loss
Youthful skin is supple, radiant and bouncy. However, as we age, those qualities change. After the age of 20, the dermis layer of the skin produces 1% less collagen every year. Sebum (the oily substance produced by our body to protect the skin) production slows, and the loss of elasticity follows. These changes can lead to the formation of folds, sunken cheeks and under-eye hollows, all concerns that dermal filler can address.
Enhanced Facial Contours
Dermal fillers can also enhance your natural facial contours. Whether you want to add definition to your cheeks, sharpen your jawline or plump up your lips, fillers can do the trick. They sculpt and shape your face without invasive surgery, helping you achieve a more balanced and defined look that still feels like you.
What Are The Benefits Of Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers have multiple unique benefits! Here are five of our favourites.
A Popular Anti Ageing Solution
One of the most renowned benefits of dermal filler is their anti ageing properties. Made from naturally occurring substances that stimulate the production of collagen, they smooth lines and wrinkles across the lips, cheeks, forehead and chin.
Improved Hydration
As we age, increased water loss leads to dryness and reduced barrier function in our skin. But the hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers is a rehydrating agent, resulting in overall improved texture. A recent study even found that a solution of only 0.1% hyaluronic concentration is enough to increase moisture and elasticity in our skin.
Brightened Complexion
By adding hydration back into dehydrated skin layers, dermal fillers can also brighten our complexion. Likewise, when injected into the undereyes, dermal fillers restore volume to improve dark circles. This too refreshes once tired skin.
Downtime & Recovery Is Minimal
As dermal fillers are minimally invasive, they require minimal downtime. So long as you follow your aftercare guidance, you can return to work and any social activities almost immediately. You’re likely to experience only minimal discomfort too, since dermal fillers are injected no deeper than the dermis with thin surgical-grade needles.
Suitable For Multiple Areas
Unlike plenty of other aesthetic treatments, dermal fillers can be injected into multiple different areas of the face. Although they’re most effective in regions where there is a loss of volume and bone density, such as in the cheeks, jawline and tear trough, dermal fillers can also be used to enhance volume in areas like the lips.
