Derma fillers

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are a cosmetic injection that adds volume under your skin. Volume loss accounts for many of the visible signs of aging. 

As you get older, your skin loses its strength and elasticity due to a slowdown in collagen production, making it thin and more susceptible to lines and creases. The subcutaneous layer of fat under your skin also declines with age, causing the skin to sag and crease.

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that fill in lines and creases, enhance facial features, and plump up hollow spaces. The licensed and experienced medical professionals at Vytal aesthetics use fillers to:

• Plump up thin lips

• Enhance sunken cheeks

• Fill-in hollow temples

• Soften lines around the mouth

• Reduce the appearance of undereye bags

They may also use cosmetic injections to create facial symmetry or smooth out depressed acne scars. 

I don’t want to look overdone. What happens when getting dermal fillers?

Before making any treatment recommendations, you meet with the medical professional at Vytal aesthetics for a consultation. They ask detailed questions about your concerns and aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and examine your face and skin.

Then, they create your personal plan that includes the type of dermal filler and the number of syringes you need to achieve your goals. The experts at Vytal aesthetics have years of experience with dermal fillers and know how to use the cosmetic injection to enhance your appearance without making you look overdone.

They expertly inject the dermal filler into your skin and massage it into place. They may apply a numbing lotion to your skin before your injections to minimize discomfort.

You may have redness and swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects don’t last long. You should avoid extraneous exercise following dermal filler injections to reduce the risk of bruising.

How long do dermal fillers last?

Dermal fillers are temporary cosmetic treatments that typically last six or more months. The length of your results depends on the type of dermal filler Vytal aesthetics uses.

You can repeat your dermal filler injections as needed to maintain your look.
