About the treatment and how Dermal Fillers Work
Unlike BOTOX Cosmetic injections, dermal filler treatments can take 30 to 45 minutes. Swelling in the treatment area(s) may occur, but will dissipate in 24 to 72 hours. Most clients return to their normal daily activities post-treatment. The fillers are naturally metabolized by the body and additional injections will be required to maintain the volume in the skin under the wrinkles or increase the volume of the lips. Dermal fillers are, however, long lasting – typically lasting six to twelve months! LaserMedica™ uses Juvederm™ Ultra and Juvederm Ultra Plus for Hyaluronic acid dermal filler corrections . Your skin is made of two layers, with supporting columns holding them apart. The area in-between includes the clear-jelly like substance Hyaluronic Acid. While young, the Hyaluronic acid is in abundance. As you grow older, the acid between these layers diminishes, and the skin somewhat caves, causing a wrinkle along the line. The wrinkle would be gone if you filled that area back up with the Hyaluronic Acid jelly-like substance. That's where Dermal fillers come in.
The fillers are injected into the skin with a very thin needle. It is injected into the area, and restores the natural volumes underneath the wrinkle. The wrinkle is now lifted up and smoothed out. All of this takes about 30 to 45 minutes, leaves no marks or scars, and the results can be seen immediately. Time between injections is typically 6 to 12 months.
Facial lines and features that can be corrected using these hyaluronic acid fillers are:
- Smoker's lines which are vertical lines on the mouth (perioral lines)
- Marionette lines at the corner of the mouth (oral commisures)
- Deep smile lines that run from side of the nose to corners of the mouth (nasolabial furrows)
- Cheek depressions
- Redefining lip border
- Acne scars
- Some facial scars
