How do fillers work?
Dermal fillers are cosmetic injectables that boost your skin’s volume: They imitate the appearance of natural subdermal fat and collagen. They can increase volume in areas that have lost volume and firmness over time, or they can add volume in areas that are naturally lacking structure.
At Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness, Dr. Hardie asks about your ideal dermal filler results to make sure fillers are the right treatment for you. She can then map out the placement of each injection of dermal fillers and determine the amount of volume to add.
You can use dermal fillers to target a single area or several areas, it’s up to you. Dr. Hardie might recommend other treatments alongside fillers, like Botox® injections, for a comprehensive makeover.
How can fillers alter my appearance?
Dermal fillers can harmonize your facial features so they look more proportionate or flattering. While they can’t change your bone structure, they can alter your facial contours by adding soft volume where it’s needed.
Dr. Hardie uses dermal fillers to:
- Improve your facial symmetry
- Boost volume in your lips
- Reshape your lips
- Volumize your cheeks
- Smooth larger facial wrinkles
- Add volume to the backs of your hands
While fillers won’t give you the same dramatic change as plastic surgery, they’re a great choice of nonsurgical alternative with fewer risks and complications and a much shorter recovery.
How long do dermal fillers last?
Dermal fillers can last for months at a time or even years, depending on the type of filler used in your treatment. Hyaluronic acid fillers, a common option, offer results for six months to a year depending on various factors like their placement and your skin’s health.
Other fillers last longer because they stimulate collagen production, which increases your skin’s natural firmness and structure.
With any kind of dermal filler, you can come back to Elate Aesthetics, Pain and Wellness for follow-up filler injections when your results fade. By getting follow-up fillers, you can extend the lifespan of your results almost indefinitely.
