As we age, we all experience changes to our appearance that may make us look older or more tired than we feel. Common changes include sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles due to a loss of collagen and elasticity. Fortunately, there are dermal filler options in Mansfield to help reduce the signs of aging and help restore a youthful glow. Dr. Steele and our aesthetician, Jennifer, can provide nonsurgical options to improve your appearance.
Dermal fillers are injectable gel-like substances used to reduce and reverse signs of aging by restoring volume, smoothing lines and wrinkles, and enhancing facial contours. They can be injected near the surface of the skin to correct fine lines, or placed deeper within the fat or along the bone to improve shape and contours, as well as add volume to areas of volume loss.
While dermal fillers can certainly be used on their own, they are often more effective when combined with other skincare treatments such as Botox®, laser resurfacing, microneedling, or chemical peels. Combining these treatments is a comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation.
Our Aesthetician, Jennifer Geyer, offers different types of dermal fillers for patients in Mansfield to provide multiple options for personalized care. Here is an overview of our offerings.
Juvederm® is one of the most popular dermal fillers currently available. It is comprised of hyaluronic acid that attracts water from the body to plump the skin, smoothing wrinkles and creases. It is FDA-approved for use in lip augmentation, correction of wrinkles around the mouth, and volume restoration of the cheeks..
The dermal filler Restylane® is also made of hyaluronic acid, and is FDA-approved for use in the lips, around the mouth, the cheek, midface, and even to the hands. It is well known for its ability to provide long-lasting volume restoration in the cheeks.
RHA dermal fillers are emerging as an innovative approach to wrinkle reduction. While they are also primarily comprised of hyaluronic acid, they are designed to adapt to your dynamic facial movements to resist wrinkles, both at rest and in motion. Results from RHA fillers are uniquely natural-looking.
Sculptra is made of a different substance than other popular dermal fillers. It uses poly-L-lactic acid, a synthetic, biodegradable material that stimulates collagen production at the injection site. Sculptra is a great option for volume restoration of the temple, cheeks, and along the jawline. While it does require two to three treatments spaced 6 weeks apart, the results last for at least 2 years.
Patients often have questions about the differences between dermal fillers and neurotoxins. While dermal fillers and neurotoxins like Botox® are both minimally-invasive injectable aesthetic treatments to improve skin appearance and reduce wrinkles, they work in different ways. Botox® contains a purified form of the botulinum bacteria that reduces muscle contractions to address wrinkles. Dermal fillers contain chemical substances such as hyaluronic acid to add volume in areas that have lost fullness.
Dermal fillers tend to last longer than neurotoxins. Hyaluronic acid fillers such as Juvederm® can last for up to one year, but neurotoxins like Botox® will require treatments every 3-4 months. In some cases, dermal fillers like Juvederm® can be reversed, while neurotoxins like Botox® will need to wear off if over-treated.
If you are looking for simple, affordable ways to reverse signs of facial aging in Mansfield, consider dermal fillers such as Juvederm®, Restylane® or Sculptra®. These are minimally invasive options to add volume and help reduce signs of aging that can last up to 2 years.
