Dermal fillers can be used to fix a variety of concerns related to facial aging, including:
Adding volume and smoothing out the deep creases that run from the nose to the mouth (called nasolabial folds or laugh lines).
Plumping thin lips and smoothing out vertical lines around the edges of the lips.
Augmenting cheeks to enhance their shape, often restoring youthful fullness.
Filling out depressions (hollows) under the eye area.
Making indented scars from acne or chicken pox more even with surrounding skin.
Increasing volume to fill out gauntness in the lower cheek or temple area, which most often occurs due to fat pads shifting beneath the surface of skin.
Don’t confuse dermal fillers with Botox. Although both procedures involve injections, Botox is most often injected around the forehead and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet) to stop muscle movement that results in wrinkles. It has nothing to do with the plumping smoothing effect dermal fillers have .
Because they work in different manners, many people elect to get both Botox and dermal fillers—the combination can produce a remarkably younger-looking face.
