What Are Injectable Dermal Fillers?
Wrinkle fillers (usually called dermal fillers) are often injected to replace lost facial volume. The face can lack volume for a variety of reasons, but age and significant weight loss are the leading causes. The procedure works by incorporating the liquefied dermal filler under the surface of the skin to fill in areas lacking volume or shape. Fillers are a promising, minimally invasive option for Sherman, TX, North Texas, and Southern Oklahoma women and men desiring to smooth fine lines, sagging skin, and/or wrinkles in order to create a younger-looking face. Dermal fillers can also be added to other aesthetic procedures to reveal the results of a facelift without the need for surgery, the risk of scarring, and the associated downtime that follows. There are many different types of fillers that could help meet the expectations and goals of each individual. To decide which products are recommended for you, we invite you to visit Chirag Mehta MD Plastic Surgery, where our certified aesthetic nurse specialist can help you make this decision.
How Do Dermal Fillers Work?
Prior to your procedure, our team will meet with you to learn more about your aesthetic goals and determine what product will best deliver them. To begin the actual procedure, topical numbing cream is used as an anesthetic to ease the discomfort of the injection. Our team then uses their experience to determine the amount of filler that is needed and will continuously and gently inject it through a very fine needle. Keeping the desired result in mind, either a portion or an entire syringe could be used during the procedure.
