Enhancing facial appearance as you age is a top priority for many men and women. But combating fine lines and wrinkles without plastic surgery seems like a lost cause. Dr. Elizabeth Tateoka and her team at White Onyx Functional & Aesthetic Medicine of Gardner, Massachusetts, can help answer questions and make recommendations to clients, including those regarding dermal fillers.
What Are Dermal Fillers, and What Are Five Ways They Are Used?
Many patients have questions about dermal fillers, including “What is it?” A dermal filler is a soft tissue filler injected into the skin to help fill facial wrinkles, provide volume to areas of lost fullness, and enhance facial contours. Some also refer to dermal fillers as wrinkle fillers or injectable implants, and they work by plumping up the skin and smoothing out imperfections, giving it a more youthful appearance.
How Can Dermal Fillers Be Used to Address Fine Lines and Wrinkles?
Here are five ways in which dermal fillers are commonly used at our office:
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Our skin loses its natural firmness and elasticity as we age, leading to wrinkles and fine lines. Dermal fillers are frequently employed to soften these wrinkles and give the appearance of smoother, younger skin.
- To add volume to the cheeks. As we age, our cheeks can lose volume and appear sunken, giving a tired or aged appearance. Dermal fillers also add volume to this area, creating a fuller and more contoured look.
- To plump up thin lips. Some women are born with naturally thinner lips, while others may experience thinning with age. Dermal fillers can enhance the volume of the lips and create a fuller, more defined pout.
- To improve the overall appearance of under-eye bags or hollows. Dark circles and hollowness under the eyes can make one look tired and older than they are. Dermal fillers can be injected into this area to fill in the hollowness and provide a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
- To enhance the appearance of the jawline. A well-defined jawline is usually associated with youth and attractiveness. Dermal fillers can sculpt and contour the jawline, creating a more defined and chiseled look.
These are just some ways dermal fillers can address various facial concerns. At White Onyx Functional & Aesthetic Medicine, we offer personalized consultations to determine the best treatment plan for each individual, taking into account their unique facial structure and desired results. Our experienced medical professionals ensure safe and precise injections for natural-looking results and overall satisfaction.
