What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments used to restore lost facial volume, soften lines and folds, and enhance facial contours. Many fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally found in the body that helps the skin retain moisture and fullness. Depending on your concerns, fillers can be used in areas such as the cheeks, lips, under the eyes, chin, and jawline.
Common Dermal Filler Treatment Areas
Different areas require different amounts and types of filler. The Restylane hyaluronic acid fillers offered at our practice can address several facial concerns.
- Cheeks: Age-related volume loss can make the midface look flatter or create deeper folds. Cheek filler can restore volume and improve midface contours. Restylane Lyft is one option used for cheek enhancement.
- Lips: Lip fillers can add fullness to naturally thin or deflated lips while improving definition. Certain fillers can also soften fine lines around the mouth.
- Nasolabial Folds: These creases extend between the nose and corners of the mouth and often become deeper with age. Dermal fillers can soften their appearance.
- Marionette Lines: Lines extending downward near the corners of the mouth can make the lower face look heavier. Fillers can add support to this area and reduce visible creasing.
- Under the Eyes: Hollowing in the tear trough area can contribute to a tired appearance. Carefully placed filler may add volume where the upper cheek meets the under-eye area.
- Chin and Jawline: Fillers can add definition to the chin and jawline, helping improve facial contours without surgery.
- Nose: In select cases, filler can be placed on the nose to address certain contour concerns.
