Procedure Overview: Dermal fillers and volumizers are cosmetic injectables used to address volume loss, enhance facial contours, and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They are versatile treatments that can rejuvenate the face by restoring volume and creating a more youthful appearance.
1. Dermal Fillers:
Composition: Dermal fillers are often made of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body, or other biocompatible materials.
Application: They are injected beneath the skin to add volume, smooth lines, and restore a youthful fullness to areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds.
Results: Dermal fillers provide immediate results, and the effects can last from several months to over a year, depending on the type of filler used.
Common Uses of Dermal Fillers:
Lip augmentation
Cheek enhancement
Softening nasolabial folds (smile lines)
Smoothing marionette lines
Improving the appearance of under-eye hollows
2. Volumizers:
Composition: Volumizers, like Sculptra and Radiesse, are made of materials that stimulate collagen production in the skin.
Application: They are injected to add volume and stimulate natural collagen growth, providing a gradual and longer-lasting rejuvenation.
Results: Volumizers offer a more subtle and progressive enhancement, with results that can last up to two years or more.
