Do you often see yourself looking in the mirror and noticing signs of tiredness even if you have enough sleep?
Loss of collagen and elastin in the skin can lead to volume loss and subtle sagging that can make the face appear more tired and aged, even when you’re well rested and well hydrated.
Fortunately, fillers can almost immediately replace lost volume, rejuvenating your face. As soon as they’re injected, the volume is noticeable. Two to three days after, the appearance of your face improves even more as swelling and redness go down, with final results becoming noticeable one to two weeks after the treatment, as the filler settles.
If you want to learn more about what fillers actually do and what they are used for, read on as our expert, Oren Friedman, MD, shares five ways dermal fillers can refresh your appearance.
As we age, lips gradually lose some of their volume and contours. Fillers can subtly replace the lost volume, restore hydration, and improve definition without creating an overfilled or artificial look. You’re in control of how much is injected as well as the final result, whether you want results that look closer to the initial shape of your lips or you want to add some extra volume.
Loss of cheek volume can also contribute to a tired and aged appearance. Fortunately, fillers placed in the midface can restore lost volume and gently lift the face, re-creating your initial contours. Addressing volume loss in the cheeks can also soften nearby folds without directly treating them.
Some lines aren’t caused by muscle movement. Instead, they’re caused by loss of collagen and volume. By adding volume, these lines can soften or disappear. Adding volume in this area can lead to a softer, more youthful appearance without interfering with your facial expressions.
Thinning skin, reduced fat in the cheeks, and decreased collagen can lead to deep lines in the cheeks, especially when you smile. Some lines may also be visible at rest. Carefully placed dermal fillers can soften these lines and improve the appearance of thinning skin.
Dark circles and hollow under eyes can make you look exhausted even after a full night of sleep. Under-eye pigmentation is often caused not by a skin issue, but by thinning skin and loss of facial fat. These can be addressed with fillers, reducing dark circles and creating a more rested appearance.
Dermal fillers are long-lasting injectables that can help restore facial contours, leading to a more refreshed look while enhancing your natural features rather than changing them. Despite being long lasting, most fillers can be dissolved. At any time you can undo the changes made by fillers if you choose to opt for a smaller dose or no filler at all.
