Over time, skin loses volume and wrinkles become more prominent. Skin may sag and some lines can make a person look tired or unhappy. Dermal fillers are one way to reduce visible signs of aging while working with a person’s natural features.
Where Dermal Fillers Are Injected
Whether you’re looking to add volume to your lips, restore fullness to your cheeks, or soften folds around the mouth, dermal fillers may help, depending on the product and area.
Jaw and chin. Some fillers are FDA-approved for the chin or jawline. Your provider will discuss whether this treatment is appropriate for your goals. Depending on the product, filler in this area may be used to:
- Improve jawline definition
- Add contour
- Improve the balance of the jawline
- Strengthen or add proportion to the chin
- Address volume loss in the lower part of the face
Lips. Lip injections are used to add volume and soften the look of lines around the lips. Results will vary depending on individual anatomy, treatment goals, and the product used. Results can be visible soon after treatment, though swelling may affect how the lips look for the first few days. How long results last depends on the product and the person.
Cheeks. Certain fillers are FDA-approved to add volume to the cheeks.
Chin. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers can be used to contour and add volume to the chin.
Hands. Loss of collagen can lead to saggy skin and the appearance of veins. Some fillers are FDA-approved to add volume to the back of the hands, which may make veins and tendons less noticeable.
Nasolabial or smile lines. The repetitive contractions of the muscles around the lips combined with the pressure created by gravity can lead to the formation of nasolabial or smile lines. Dermal fillers can help soften the look of these folds for a more refreshed appearance.
Popular Brands
Popular dermal filler brands include Restylane, and JUVÉDERM. Which brand or product you use will depend on the treatment goals, your unique facial anatomy, and the treatment area. Your provider will help you choose the filler and amount that suit your goals.
How to Find The Right Filler Injector
When searching for a healthcare professional to perform the injections, it’s important to review their background, including their education, training, and areas of expertise. Dermal injections may be done by a physician or medical professional who has undergone specialized training for injecting the product into the specific treatment area.
Before and after photos could also help you get a sense of the injector’s aesthetic style before you come in for a consultation. But be aware that individual results will vary depending on the product used, your treatment goals, the amount of filler used, and the treatment area.
