Key Details You Need To Know About Dermal Fillers

Aging is a natural process that happens in the body. As our body produces less collagen –

responsible for plumpness and the skin’s elasticity - wrinkles, hollow cheekbones and

sunken eyes are just some of the effects dermal fillers can help with. While we can gain a lot

from the wisdom we obtain over the years, losing our cheekbones, flawless features, and

smooth lips might not be as favorable.


If you are looking to help conquer the signs of aging and make them appear less prominent, read on to learn more about  dermal fillers, their benefits and the different options available.


What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances used to add volume and fullness to the skin, typically

to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They can also be used to enhance facial

contours, such as the cheeks and lips. Some common types of dermal fillers include

hyaluronic acid and collagen. The effects of dermal fillers are generally temporary, lasting

anywhere from several months to a year or more.


What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

We are often asked about the various benefits that dermal fillers offer. . Here are just a few examples of the benefits of dermal fillers:


1. Reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines: Dermal fillers can be used to

smooth out wrinkles and fine lines on the face, making the skin look more youthful.

2. Enhancing facial contours: Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the cheeks, jawline,

and other facial features, giving the face a more defined and sculpted appearance.

3. Plumping the lips: Dermal fillers can be used to add volume to the lips, making them

look fuller and more defined.

4. Improving skin texture: Dermal fillers can also be used to improve the overall texture

and tone of the skin, giving it a more youthful and radiant appearance.

5. Non-surgical: Dermal fillers are non-surgical and minimally invasive, and typically

involve only a few injections.

6. Little to no downtime: There is usually little to no downtime after a dermal filler

treatment, and most people are able to return to their normal activities

immediately.


It’s important to note that the results of dermal fillers are typically temporary, lasting

anywhere from several months to a year or more. The treatment can be repeated as desired

to maintain the desired effect.


What You Can Expect From Fillers

Before any procedure, it’s always best to arm yourself with all the knowledge you can find

on the subject. We administer dermal fillers to areas on your face with wrinkles or hollow

sections. There are different kinds of FDA-approved dermal fillers: here’s our advice on

which will give you the best results.


The fillers can last anything from six to 12 months, and you will already see the difference

this gel-like injection makes to your appearance as soon as you leave our rooms.


The more we know about what you wish to gain from the dermal fillers and your concerns,

the more we can advise you on the best options to give you the look you desire. We will give you all the information you need and discuss what you can expect afterward, such as redness, bruising and pain, that usually disappear within two weeks. If for any reason you are unhappy with the outcome after the filler has settled, we can always use a filler dissolver to reverse it if needed. 


Many happy clients have walked out of our center, and we want you to have the best

experience. We do everything we can to minimize discomfort, such as using a numbing

cream and ice packs afterward.


If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or going for a dental procedure or cleaning, it’s advisable

to postpone your filler appointment. Trusting professionals with your looks means that your

Different Types of Dermal Fillers

There are several types of filler on the market. They are each used for different purposes or different areas of the body and have a range of price points:

  • Collagen. These fillers are used for deep-seated scars from acne or cuts to lift the indented, depressed areas on your face.
  • Poly-L-lactic acid is made from a biodegradable material that lasts longer than the two years of its counterparts.
  • Polymethylmethacrylate beads are the only filler that can’t be absorbed by your body, meaning the results are permanent. These beads are used around the mouth area.
  • Calcium hydroxyapatite – yes, this is the type of calcium found in our bones, and these fillers can last up to 18 months.
  • Hyaluronic acid is by far the most popular option. Produced naturally in the body,this filler will metabolize over time and can last from six to 12 months. Belotero, Radiesse, or Restylane are the major names and are perfect for mild scars or hollow areas you want to appear plumper and fuller.

It is estimated that about 1 in 5 people get acne scars. Acne scars are usually rough in texture, which can lead to uneven raised skin. This can cause many people to be self conscious, trying desperately to hide these depressions on the skin. If you are suffering with the appearance of acne scars, continue reading to learn more about how an acne scar reduction treatment may benefit you. At The Studio Med Spa, our providers are eager to help patients reduce the appearance of acne scars while providing nourishing revitalization to the skin! Why Do Acne Scars Appear? Acne scars may appear for a multitude of reasons. Acne scars themselves are described as deep inflamed lesions that develop into depressions or raised marks on the skin. Acne scars most commonly appear due to picking or squeezing pimples, which leads to inflammation in the area that causes trauma to skin tissue. Damage to the skin during healing of active acne can also lead to acne scars, as well as production of too much or too little collagen. What Acne Scar Reduction Treatment is Available for Me? At The Studio Med Spa, our providers are always eager to help patients find the right acne scar reduction treatment. Reducing acne scars can lead to a boost in self-esteem, as well as healthier-looking rejuvenated skin. Which acne scar reduction treatment would be right for you? This can include: Microneedling During microneedling , the skin ‘injured’ with light pricks from a pen-like tool. You may be wondering, is further damage not counterproductive? Fortunately, these controlled injuries done by a professional are meant to boost the skin to create more collagen-rich tissue, which is even in tone and texture. This minimally invasive procedure works to produce new skin tissue, which means patients can say goodbye to the appearance of acne scars, large pores, fine lines, and other skin problems. Laser Scar Revision Laser scar revision involves using an FDA-approved fractional laser to minimize the appearance of scars, keloids, and stretch marks. This type of treatment may also be used alongside microneedling for the most beneficial results when it comes to the appearance of the skin. The lasers work by removing the outer layer of the skin’s surface, as well as stimulating the production of new skin cells. While laser scar revision can’t make scarring disappear, the efficacy of their ability to minimize a scar’s appearance and thickness is still very much there. Intense Pulsed Light Facials Intense pulsed light (IPL) facials use light energy to break down damaged skin and boost skin growth and collagen production. When the pulses of this treatment touch the skin, the energy absorbed by the pigment cells within the skin is turned into heat. The heat in turn can then destroy the bacteria causing a patient’s acne, as well as leading to the development of acne lesions. These facials can also help bring relief for redness, swelling, and other troubling symptoms. Are There Any Side Effects to These Treatments? Many patients enjoy acne reduction treatments for their skin because these procedures are minimally invasive, require little to no downtime, and have proven results. Like with any procedure, there may be the appearance of a few mild side effects. Some of the most common side effects may include minor skin irritation and redness. Speak with a licensed professional at The Studio Med Spa to learn more about possible side effects, as well as which treatment may be the right one for you. How Do I Get an Acne Scar Reduction?
