Starting in your 20s, your body starts to lose collagen. By the age of 40, you’re likely to lose about 1% of your bodily collagen per year. The result is volume loss. Dermal fillers help diminish the signs of aging by restoring volume to fill in fine lines and restoring fullness to the face. Dermal fillers are instrumental in helping to:
Smooth lines around the nose and mouth (a.k.a. marionette lines, smile lines, and parentheses)
Enhance & restore volume to sunken cheeks or temples
Diminish vertical lip lines
Plump & enhance the lips
Smooth out a chin crease
Improve symmetry among facial features
Add contour to the chin, jawline, and cheekbones
Fill in hip dips and add volume to the buttocks as an alternative to plastic surgery
What are they made of?
Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
Hyaluronic Acid is a naturally occurring substance found in our bodies. It helps to keep our skin plump and hydrated. Hyaluronic acid fillers are thick, soft, gel-like substances. For comfort, the majority of hyaluronic acid fillers also have lidocaine in their formulas. Lidocaine helps to quickly and temporarily numb the area while being injected. Results from these fillers typically last 6-12 months and are absorbed naturally by the body over time.
Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHA)
Radiesse is a dermal filler made from calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) microspheres suspended in a water-based gel. CaHA is a naturally occurring mineral found in bones and teeth. It acts as a scaffold to stimulate the body's own collagen production, resulting in improved skin volume and elasticity.
