Dermal fillers are the second-most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure, and there are good reasons why. In addition to immediately improving the look of your skin and face, they’re virtually pain-free and require little to no downtime.
Depending on the type of dermal filler you choose, it either fills your skin with a synthetic form of hyaluronic acid (HA) or stimulates your skin to produce its own collagen through the insertion of microparticles.
Whether you choose an HA filler or collagen stimulator, your injector will help guide you to decide what areas require treatment, what type of filler, and how much is needed to achieve the desired result.
At Aesthetics by Dr. Lee — in Roseville, California, and serving the greater Sacramento area — we offer a wide variety of dermal fillers to address your facial volume needs. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Luis Lee, our dedicated team transforms your look with fillers.
Where should you get injectable fillers? Following are five of the most popular areas.
No matter what your age, you can transform your look while still looking like yourself with the skillful use of lip fillers. Thin lips can make us appear older, while full lips create a more youthful appearance. Having luscious lips will make your appearance more kissable, which is the goal for most patients.
With the guidance of your injector, we can create shape and fullness to your desire. We use various formulations of HA fillers such as the Juvéderm®, Restylane® and RHA® collections to create the look and feel you desire.
If you desire a more subtle and natural look, your injector may guide you towards a thinner filler called Volbella by Juvéderm®. For those looking to change shape and increase volume for a more dramatic look, your injector will guide you towards thicker fillers like Juvederm Ultra, Juvéderm Ultra Plus, or RHA–3.
We can even correct asymmetries or defects in your lips’ appearance by creating a perfect balance between your upper and lower lip. Those who have perioral lines (aka smoker’s lines) would also benefit from filler to help reduce wrinkles surrounding the lips. Your injector will help you make the right decisions on how you can achieve a more pouty and youthful profile.
Nasolabial folds are the creases that form between your nose and the corners of your mouth as you age. Nasolabial folds can make you look much older than you are or than you feel. Our clinic specializes in the treatment of nasolabial folds. With the expert hand of our injectors, we can reduce the deep lines of nasolabial folds, to create a more youthful appearance.
Dense HA fillers or collagen stimulators are best for nasolabial folds. The new filler collection, RHA®, is especially flexible, to create a natural look even when your face is in motion. Although your injector may opt for other fillers, depending on your anatomy. We will tailor a treatment specific to your needs.
Nobody wants to look like a puppet, but when you have creases that run from your mouth corners to your chin. Marionette lines not only draw a viewer's eyes away from your lips but can also make you appear as if you are frowning. When you appear unhappy, it can make you feel unhappy too, and that is why Marionette lines are a common concern for most patients.
Marionette lines, like nasolabial folds, tend to be deeply etched. They do best with thick, flexible fillers that push out and support the collapsed skin that creates the folds.
No matter how much sleep you get, if you have shadowing caused by deep troughs under your eyes, you will look tired. As with the lips, which can be thin due to genetics, you may also have inherited your under-eye troughs. That means you could benefit from filling this area no matter how old or young you are.
Our go-to filler is typically RHA-Redensity for the under-eye area. This weightless filler works great to gently fill and smooth out this delicate area. The results with under eye filler not only transform your entire look, but most importantly, improve your confidence.
When we look at a child, we often notice the cute, often chubby looking, round face and associate this with youth. As we age, our faces lose this fat and when we reach a certain point of volume loss, we may find that our cheeks look hollow, the skin sags creating jowls, and the neck skin will loosen and fall. The reason your face and neck start to sag over time, is due to the skin quality itself, but also to volume losses in the midface. With age, both your fat, bones and muscles atrophy slightly, so that your skin doesn’t have the support it did in youth.
Thick, collagen-stimulating dermal fillers like Radiesse®, Bellafill® or Sculptra® are the best choices for the midface. Sculptra®, for example, creates instant volume with its gel, but then the microparticles in the gel stimulate your skin to create collagen that replaces that temporary volume. Some patients who prefer HA fillers will opt for Voluma by Juvéderm® or RHA®.
You can also build up your cheekbones with fillers for more elegance and lift. Many patients who want a more defined appearance will find that cheek fillers truly enhance their look for a more Hollywood-style look.
