What Are Dermal Fillers?
April 3, 2024
Dermal fillers are quickly becoming one of the most popular cosmetic procedures performed each year. At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group, our team is led by Drs. Demianczuk and Tregaskiss can help you explore this simple and effective injectable treatment. Here is what to know about injectable fillers and how they can rejuvenate your confidence.
What Exactly Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal filler procedures, also known as injectable dermal fillers, soft tissue fillers, or wrinkle fillers, are Health Canada-approved substances that help fill wrinkles, smooth fine lines, and restore facial volume and fullness in the face. They aid in tackling facial aging, especially in areas such as the cheeks, temples, lips, and around the eyes. Many different brands are available, and each offers different benefits. Our team will help you learn more about the types of dermal fillers during a consultation. Dermal filler procedures are a less invasive alternative to facial fat grafting or fat injection procedures.
How Do They Work?
Facial fillers work like magic; they mimic the body’s hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance found in the skin’s connective tissue, resulting in smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin. Our specialists inject dermal fillers under the skin to restore youthful volume. While many people avoid fillers because of concerns about looking “overfilled,” an experienced and qualified provider can achieve completely natural, undetectable results. Dermal filler injections are a simple office procedure, with no need for extensive downtime. Some fillers, such as poly l lactic acid, even stimulate collagen production over time for a gradual, lasting transformation.
The Benefits of Dermal Fillers
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers offer a multitude of benefits. They smooth wrinkles, replenish lost volume, and help achieve a more youthful appearance. The best part? They provide immediate results, helping you transform your look instantly, all while avoiding the downtime associated with surgery.
What Can Dermal Fillers Treat?
At Pacific Plastic Surgery Group, we’ve seen immense success using dermal fillers to restore volume, treat deeper wrinkles, smooth deep wrinkles, and even improve the appearance of acne scars. These treatments include lip augmentation, cheek and chin and jawline augmentations, reducing frown lines, and blending the lower eyelids into the cheeks. They can even be used to enhance facial contours, refine facial features, and soften skin folds and smile lines. We’ve also seen great results using dermal fillers to restore volume in hands, buttocks and hip-dips. When combined with Botox and other treatments, the effects can be even more comprehensive and harmonious.
