Are you considering dermal fillers? If you are wanting to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, contour your face, or revitalize your skin, speak with your dentist about dermal fillers.
4 Things you need to know about dermal fillers
1. Dermal fillers are safe.
Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, which is naturally found in the skin.
As we age, our skin’s natural production of hyaluronic acid decreases and causes wrinkles, sagging skin, as well as dull and dehydrated looking skin. Over-the-counter skin creams often say that they include hyaluronic acid, but injections are more effective and more cost-effective than many creams. Dermal fillers do not require surgery, just a simple injection.
Integrity Dental only uses dermal fillers that are approved by the FDA. They are minimally invasive and very safe. As with any procedure, there are possible risks, the most common risk being post-procedure bruising and swelling. These risks are usually very minimal and resolve quickly, but please call or set up an appointment to discuss any other concerns you may have regarding dermal fillers.
2. Yes, Dermal fillers treat lines you already have, but they can also prevent future lines
Some medical professionals recommend starting hyaluronic acid injections around the age of 30 to allow your skin to start the aging process beautifully and gracefully. At any age, getting an injection of hyaluronic acid can fuel your skin’s rejuvenation for as long as 9 months.
As an incredible bonus, dermal fillers can trick, or motivate the body to jumpstart its own production of natural collagen, which will, in turn, restore your facial skin, for a more natural, youthful look.
3. Dermal fillers are subtle and beautiful, and instantly effective
People will likely look at you and think that you got a good night’s sleep or a good facial. The most common areas of treatment are the nose to mouth lines (the nasolabial folds), between the eyebrows (the glabella lines), and the lips (to add volume and shape). Unlike some other treatments, dermal fillers will not impact facial expressions.
4. One treatment of dermal fillers can last 6 months, all the way up to 9 months
Dermal filler injections provide an easy way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, smooth the skin and give a more youthful, energetic, and vivacious appearance. The result of a single treatment can be seen instantly and can last for around 6 to 9 months.
Integrity Dental offers both Botox treatments as well as dermal fillers. Patients should discuss their individual needs and expectations with their dentist (?) to determine which treatment would be the best choice for them.
