Dermal Fillers in Boca Raton

Enjoy beautiful, radiant skin.

As more and more people have started working remotely, one of the biggest surprises has been seeing their face up close and personal on high resolution video calls. You may be shocked to see minor blemishes and imperfections, such as wrinkles and fine lines, magnified on your computer screen. 

As a result, there’s been an uptick in the number of people searching for topics ranging from facelifts to cosmetic surgery. But, before you book an appointment to go under the knife, you should know that there are other less invasive options, like dermal fillers.

Cosmetic Fillers FAQ

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are an increasingly popular way to reverse some of the subtle signs of aging in both men and women. They’re an injectable gel-like substance put just beneath the surface of your skin, often in the cheeks, lips, or eyebrow region. 

Different Types of Dermal Fillers

You should also be aware that there are different types of dermal fillers out there and some may have more long-lasting positive impacts than others. If you choose certain dermal fillers, you may need to repeat the procedures more frequently to generate your desired outcome. Therefore, it is essential to carefully discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each filler option with your trusted medical professional. 

Some of the most common dermal fillers are: 

  • Fillers that utilize hyuralonic acid, such as Juvaderm and Restylane; 

  • Calcium hydroxylapatite (CH) fillers, such as Radiesse; 

  • Poly-L-lactic acid, including Sculptra. 

  • Fillers, such as Bellafill, that contain polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). 

Hyaluronic fillers are a great choice for those considering dermal fillers but not quite sure they want to make a lifetime commitment. They usually last from 6 to 12 months with little pain or discomfort. CH fillers may last longer and are effective at treating deeper lines and wrinkles. No filler is right for everyone, but everyone can find a filler that is right for their needs. 

How Dermal Fillers Can Help You

FDA-approved dermal fillers can have a dramatic impact on your appearance. They may be especially effective in gently reducing the number of wrinkles in your face, minimizing bags around the eyes, and adding a healthy-looking plumpness to your lips and cheeks. Dermal fillers in Boca Raton accomplish all of this while being proven safe in a wide range of patients. 

As you age, the amount of fat that you have under your skin begins to decline, often dramatically, and facial lines and wrinkles become more apparent.  This means that your muscles are closer to your skin and you can see the muscles move when you smile, frown, or engage in any other expression. Dermal fillers work to plump up and replace the fat, effectively minimizing the appearance of these wrinkles. 

However, There Are Things Dermal Fillers Can’t Do

Dermal fillers can have an amazing impact on your appearance and self-confidence. However, there are limits to the results that can be achieved by adding fillers into your beauty regimen. For example, if your wrinkles are very deep, you may have to consider a more intensive treatment, such as a micro- facelift or a full facelift.  It is important to have realistic expectations of what the treatment will achieve before going down this road. 

Dermal Fillers: An Essential Part of Your Beauty Regimen

If you are realistic about what fillers can and cannot do for your appearance and you carefully research potential providers, dermal fillers can be a great addition to your skincare regimen. These fillers can rejuvenate and refresh your face and boost your self-esteem.
