What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal filler treatment involves injecting a gel-like substance into the skin to restore volume, smooth lines and wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. 

 

These fillers are commonly made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the body, which helps hydrate and plump the skin. The treatment is non-invasive and delivers immediate, natural-looking results, making it a popular choice for rejuvenating the face.

Your Dermal Filler treatment

When you visit Dr. Guo’s team at Rejuvenation Calgary North for dermal filler treatments, expect a process that combines meticulous technique with patient comfort. The procedure begins with a thorough consultation. Here, a medical professional will assess your facial structure, discuss your aesthetic goals, and determine the right type of filler for your needs.

 

Once a treatment plan is crafted, the actual injection process can commence. Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. Strategic points on the face are then marked as guides for precise filler placement. The dermal fillers, often containing hyaluronic acid, are carefully injected into the targeted areas using fine needles or cannulas. The technique used for the injection will depend on the area being treated and the desired outcome. Whether it’s for smoothing deep wrinkles, enhancing lips, or restoring volume in the cheeks, the procedure is relatively quick, usually taking about 30–60 minutes.

 

During your dermal filler treatment, comfort and safety are our top priorities. Before the injections, you might feel a slight pinch, but the use of numbing agents typically makes the experience tolerable. Immediately after the treatment, it's normal to experience some redness, swelling, or a bit of tenderness at the injection sites. These are temporary and usually subside within a few days. You'll be given aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding strenuous exercise, sun exposure, and alcohol for a certain period of time to optimize healing.

Dermal filler aftercare and maintenance

Proper aftercare following dermal filler procedures is crucial for healing and achieving the best possible outcome. Following your medical professional's specific advice is vital, as it will cater to your individual needs and the specifics of your treatment. However, here are some general guidelines that can aid in your recovery and maximize the longevity of your results. Post-treatment care for dermal fillers can significantly affect the final appearance and duration of your aesthetic enhancements. Here are some steps to ensure optimal results:

 

  • Avoid Strenuous Activity: For at least 24–48 hours after your procedure, it's recommended to avoid vigorous exercise as it can exacerbate swelling and bruising.

     

  • Mind the Sun: Protect the treated area from excessive sun exposure. Sun damage can degrade the filler material and hasten the loss of volume.

     

  • Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help maintain the integrity of the filler, particularly those based on hyaluronic acid which binds water molecules.

 

Dr. Guo’s team at Rejuvenation Calgary North are specially trained to safely apply dermal fillers. Our experience, combined with our stringent hygienic standards, minimizes the odds of local infections and tissue damage and ensures aesthetics to your satisfaction.

Benefits of using hyaluronic acid fillers

The benefits of using hyaluronic acid fillers are extensive, making them a favorite choice for patients and dermatologists alike:

  • Immediate results: Patients typically notice instant improvements post-treatment, with a visible reduction in the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

     

  • Safety and reversibility: Hyaluronic acid fillers are largely hypoallergenic and can be dissolved with an enzyme called hyaluronidase if patients are unsatisfied with their results or experience complications.

     

  • Hydration: Aside from structural support, these fillers enhance skin hydration, contributing to a more radiant complexion.

     

  • Natural-looking outcomes: The fillers provide subtle and natural aesthetic improvements without altering facial expressions or movement.

     

  • Minimal downtime: With non-invasive treatment, there's typically little to no downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.

Dermal Fillers in cosmetic treatments

Dermal fillers serve various purposes in the realm of cosmetic treatments. They are mainly used to address signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles, laugh lines, marionette lines, and tear troughs (the hollows under the eyes). Fillers can also enhance facial contours by increasing volume in areas like the cheeks and lips, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing facial structure. Other effective treatments using dermal fillers are hand rejuvenation treatments. The primary goal of dermal filler treatments is to provide natural-looking results by smoothing lines and replenishing lost volume, which can occur due to aging or lifestyle factors, providing an overall more natural appearance.

 

Hyaluronic acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance found in the skin, connective tissues, and eyes, where it plays a pivotal role in retaining moisture and ensuring optimal hydration. It can hold vast amounts of water, making it a key component in maintaining skin's plumpness and hydration. This ability to attract and retain moisture not only makes hyaluronic acid vital for skin health but also an ideal ingredient in skincare products and dermal fillers alike.

 

Role of hyaluronic acid in Dermal Fillers

Hyaluronic acid is at the forefront of dermal filler injectables due to its efficacy in restoring volume and smoothing lines. When injected beneath the skin's surface, hyaluronic acid fillers act as a scaffold, giving structure and support to sagging tissues while attracting moisture to the treated area. This immediate volumizing effect diminishes the visibility of wrinkles, folds, and hollow areas, which are common signs of aging.

Popular treatment areas for dermal fillers

Dermal fillers in Calgary are highly sought after for their ability to revitalize and rejuvenate the skin. With a focus on restoring volume and smoothing out the contours of the face, these injectable treatments address various areas prone to signs of aging. Among the most commonly treated regions are the cheeks, where volume loss can lead to a sunken appearance, and the lips, which can lack fullness or develop vertical 'smoker lines' over time. Other frequent target areas include the nasolabial folds, also known as smile or laugh lines, which run from the nose to the corners of the mouth, and the marionette lines, which create an unwanted downturned expression around the mouth area. 

 

Dermal fillers also address the tear troughs, hollows under the eyes that contribute to a tired look, and fine lines across the forehead. By selecting the appropriate filler products, professional medical experts at Rejuvenation Calgary North can tailor treatments to specific skin types and concerns, ensuring natural-looking results that enhance the client's features.
