If you’re interested in rejuvenating and refreshing your appearance, dermal fillers might be the ideal solution for you. These non-invasive injectables—available at St. Louis Skin Solutions™—work well to diminish fine lines, add definition, and fill hollow areas around your mouth, nose, cheeks, and temples.
Dermal fillers remain a popular way to address signs of aging brought on by collagen loss and environmental factors (such as too much sun exposure). If you’re concerned that your lips look thin, your cheeks look flattened, and you consistently look tired, we recommend enhancing your facial features with one or more of our dermal filler products.
Our team at St. Louis Skin Solutions™ can attest to the transformative results dermal fillers offer, and how those results help our clients achieve their aesthetic goals. In this blog post, we’ll provide all the information you need to know about this incredible anti-aging solution that smooths fine lines and adds volume—all without the need for you to undergo surgery or be subject to downtime. Let’s explore the power of dermal fillers so you can learn what makes these injectables so appealing!
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are injected beneath the skin to add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial features. Dermal fillers have been developed by companies such as Restylane, JUVÉDERM, and Revance among many others. Each dermal filler product has been specially developed to treat common aesthetic concerns with varying degrees of severity. Some fillers, such as RHA, soften laugh lines and add structure to the cheekbones, while a dermal filler like Bellafill addresses deeper lines and scars, including acne scars. Certain dermal fillers can also be injected into your neck and/or hands to address signs of aging.
The main ingredient in most dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid. This is a substance that already exists in your body, but the amount your body produces decreases over time. This amazing acid retains water, which is what keeps your skin plump and hydrated. As you age, your body produces less hyaluronic acid, which contributes to wrinkles, fine lines, and dry skin.
Dermal fillers are most commonly used around the eyes, mouth, and nose. Dermal fillers not only target specific areas (under-eye hollows and cheekbones, for example) but also can be administered in a way that allows for a fully tailored approach. Sometimes clients receive more than one type of dermal filler treatment in a session since most dermal fillers can be used alongside one another, which is particularly beneficial for those seeking a comprehensive rejuvenation of their facial features so they can restore their youthfulness.
Improve Your Appearance with Dermal Filler Treatment
Enhance Cheekbones
Well-defined cheekbones are often associated with youthfulness and beauty. If you’ve noticed that your cheekbones have lost volume due to aging and/or environmental factors, we can inject dermal fillers in and around your cheekbones to give them a fuller and more shapely appearance. These injections will add volume above and around your cheekbones, pushing the tissue upward in a way that will give you cheekbones that are natural-looking and well-sculpted. By improving the shape and definition of your cheekbones, you’ll enhance your overall facial structure and highlight your natural beauty.
Reduce Wrinkles
Another reason why many of our clients at St. Louis Skin Solutions™ pursue dermal fillers is because they excel at diminishing wrinkles and fine lines. When we carefully inject the dermal fillers into areas with creases or folds, the hyaluronic acid plumps and smooths your skin, which gives you a more even-textured complexion and a visibly younger look. Whether you have wrinkles on your chin, fine lines underneath your eyes, or creases around your mouth, know that wrinkle-reducing dermal fillers support your skin on a structural level and provide the much-needed hydration it needs. It’s also a great option if you’d rather not undergo a fat transfer procedure, which would involve taking fat from one area of your body and injecting it into specific areas of concern.
Smooth Forehead Lines
Over time, repeated facial expressions—such as frowning or squinting—contribute to the formation of forehead lines and diminish your sense of youthfulness. Not only are your facial muscles active, but the skin covering them is rather thin. As collagen breaks down with age, your forehead lines become deeper and much more noticeable. At St. Louis Skin Solutions™, our skilled aesthetic injectors can administer dermal fillers alone or in combination with Neurotoxins that will fill in and smooth those forehead lines without restricting your natural facial expressions.
Plump Lips
Dermal fillers can be used to subtly plump your lips, define their borders, and even soften lines around your mouth. The plumper your lips, the more youthful and sensual they will look. If you’re interested in transforming your lips—and your pout—we can suggest specific dermal fillers that will work well to accomplish your lip enhancement goals.
Brighten Under-Eye Area
Under-eye hollows can be incredibly frustrating, especially when they make you look older than you are or tired, even when you’re well-rested. By injecting dermal fillers directly into the tear trough area, the filler will immediately get to work filling those unwanted under-eye hollows, reducing dark circles, and restoring your youthfulness. Brightening your under-eye area with dermal fillers is a fantastic option if you experience dark circles, puffiness, or hollowness under your eyes and are ready to project a more energized appearance.
Choosing the Right Provider
Dermal fillers can help you achieve your desired aesthetic goals, but only when they are used correctly and administered by skilled injectors. At St. Louis Skin Solutions™, we want to emphasize the importance of choosing the right provider if you’d like to invest in dermal fillers.
- Qualified Practitioner: A qualified provider is well-versed in cosmetic injectables. They have been trained in proper injection techniques, which are essential for achieving optimal results and ensuring your comfort throughout the entire session. The qualified provider will also have extensive knowledge when it comes to various dermal filler products, their properties, and their best uses for specific areas of concern. This allows them to recommend the most appropriate filler for your individual needs. Choosing a qualified provider is imperative so you can feel confident that your treatment will be not only safe and effective but also culminate in natural-looking results.
- Finding a Provider: If you’re interested in enhancing your facial features with dermal fillers, your first step will be to find a reputable provider. Our advice: be selective! Many skincare clinics employ board-certified nurse practitioners and aesthetic nurse injectors who have received the training and experience necessary to administer cosmetic injectables such as dermal fillers, Botox, and other neuromodulators.
