Dermal Fillers

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal Fillers are suitable for a wide range of individuals looking to address various cosmetic concerns, including:

• Wrinkles and Fine Lines: Softening the appearance of facial lines, such as smile lines, marionette lines, and forehead wrinkles.
• Loss of Volume: Restoring volume to areas that have experienced natural fat loss, such as cheeks and temples.
• Lip Enhancement: Achieving fuller and more defined lips.
• Under-Eye Hollows: Reducing the appearance of dark circles and hollows beneath the eyes.
• Facial Contouring: Enhancing the contours of the chin, jawline, and cheeks for a more sculpted look.
• Acne Scarring: Minimizing the visibility of acne scars and other facial depressions.
• Overall Rejuvenation: Providing an overall refreshed and revitalized appearance.

HOW DERMAL FILLERS WORK

There is not only one kind of dermal filler. Over the years, several have been introduced that are all FDA-approved but are designed to treat somewhat different conditions.

Our experts in the use of each of the three dermal fillers we use will work with you to find the one that is best for your overall appearance goals. Regardless of which dermal filler you choose, they all work basically alike.

Every dermal filler is designed to smooth wrinkles and enhance volume by stimulating the production of natural substances like collagen that keep your skin looking tight, firm, and young. Here at 4Ever Young Des Moines, IA, we offer Juvéderm, Restylane, and Sculptra. While they all fall under the category of dermal fillers, they have different compositions, uses, and effects.

1. Juvéderm: Juvéderm is a brand of hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally found in the body that helps retain moisture and adds volume to the skin. Juvéderm fillers are smooth and gel-like, making them effective for treating moderate to severe wrinkles and adding volume to areas like the cheeks, lips, and nasolabial folds. They can also be used to improve facial contours and restore lost volume.
2. Restylane: Restylane is another brand of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Like Juvéderm, it also contains hyaluronic acid but may have different concentrations and cross-linking methods. Restylane fillers are versatile and can be used for moderate to severe wrinkles, facial contouring, lip augmentation, and adding volume to areas such as the cheeks and hands.
3. Sculptra: Sculptra is unique among dermal fillers as it is made from poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA), a biocompatible synthetic material. Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, Sculptra doesn’t provide immediate results. Instead, it stimulates the body’s natural collagen production over time, leading to gradual volume restoration. Sculptra is typically used for deeper facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and overall facial rejuvenation. It’s particularly effective for patients seeking long-lasting results.

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS THAT MEAN YOU COULD REQUIRE DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic procedure that addresses various aesthetic concerns, primarily in the face.

Here are the signs and symptoms that can make you a good candidate for dermal fillers:

• Wrinkles and Fine Lines: If you have noticeable wrinkles, creases, or fine lines on your face, especially around the eyes, mouth, or forehead, dermal fillers can help smooth them out.
• Loss of Facial Volume: As we age, we tend to lose facial volume, resulting in a sunken or hollow appearance. Dermal fillers can restore volume to areas like the cheeks and under-eye area.
• Thin or Uneven Lips: If you desire fuller, plumper lips or asymmetrical lips, dermal fillers can enhance and balance the lip shape.
• Sunken Under-Eye Hollows: Dermal fillers can diminish the appearance of dark circles and hollows under the eyes, giving a more refreshed look.
• Nasolabial Folds: These are the lines that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Dermal fillers can soften their appearance.
• Marionette Lines: These are lines that run from the corners of the mouth down to the chin. Fillers can help reduce their prominence.
• Acne Scarring: Dermal fillers can improve the appearance of certain types of acne scars by filling in the depressed areas.

EXPECTED RESULTS FROM DERMAL FILLERS

Dermal filler injections are common, safe, and straightforward in-office procedures. This is a key advantage over more intensive and invasive facial rejuvenation methods, like a surgical facelift.

Before the procedure, you will have a detailed consultation with one of our well-trained cosmetic care professionals – typically a nurse, nurse practitioner, or physician. During this consultation, we will discuss your concerns, desired outcomes, and medical history to determine the most suitable dermal filler for your needs.

At 4Ever Young Des Moines, IA, our center is staffed by a team of highly skilled and experienced medical professionals, including board-certified dermatologists and trained practitioners. You can be confident that your treatment will be performed with the utmost care and precision.
