Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that use synthetic forms of hyaluronic acid (HA) or may use collagen-stimulating particles to replace or create volume in your face and other areas of your body. Once used primarily for wrinkles, dermal fillers can now address a wide variety of imperfections.
Unlike surgical approaches to aesthetic enhancements or anti-aging, dermal fillers give you instant results. The specially formulated gels volumize your skin to help you achieve your goals after a single session that probably takes less time than your usual lunch.
At Aesthetics, by Dr. Lee, our dedicated team — led by expert physician Dr. Luis Lee — recommends dermal fillers to address a wide range of aesthetic and anti-aging concerns. Our clinic in Roseville, California, serving the greater Sacramento area, offers a variety of dermal fillers to serve your every need.
Is it time for you to add dermal fillers to your beautifying routine? Here are a few signs it might be.
One of the easiest ways to transform your entire face — at any age — is through lip augmentation with dermal fillers. You can subtly enhance or replace volume lost to age, or you can make dramatic improvements, too. With dermal fillers, your lips can be smoother, plumper, and even more kissable.
We can create perfectly proportioned lip volume and even up asymmetries. Some clients may have lips that are larger on the left side, than the right, or maybe the top lip is significantly larger than the bottom. Other clients may have naturally thin lips, to which we can expertly apply for an overall larger appearance and enhance natural features like the cupid's bow. Any asymmetry can easily be corrected with a small amount of filler.
Dark circles or impressions under your eyes can make you look more tired and older than you actually feel. Hollow eyes often show up when we take pictures of ourselves. If the light hits just right, patients with hollow under eyes may appear as if they have dark circles. A thin dermal filler, such as RHA Redensity, can be expertly and carefully applied deep under the under-eye skin to lift and smooth out hallowed eye troughs. By adding filler, your eyes will appear brighter and more youthful as the shadowing disappears.
A consultation will be required, as some clients may actually have pigmentation issues and may require alternative treatments. Either way, our experts may have a solution for you!
As the sun breaks down the supportive collagen matrix in your skin, your skin gets thinner and less elastic. Eventually, your cheeks and the rest of your midface starts to sag. All the collagen supplements in the world can’t fully replace the collagen that your skin has lost due to sun damage and aging.
Dermal fillers replace the lost volume so that your skin is revived and rejuvenated. With such a simple procedure that has minimal downtime, you will look younger without the need for costly invasive surgical procedures.
We carry Hyaluronic Acid (HA) fillers and also other dermal filler brands that are composed of microparticles that stimulate your skin to produce more collagen. The gels themselves are volumizing, so you get an immediate effect. Over time, as your skin reacts to and absorbs the microparticles, it actually grows stronger and firmer.
As we age, we quickly lose fat in our face and this can make the skin begin to thin and sag. This sagging appearance may create wrinkles around the nasolabial folds or also create marionette lines. These wrinkles can be unsightly, and cause your appearance to look sad or angry.
Our nasolabial folds run from the corners of the nose down to the sides of the mouth and may become more prevalent when smiling. On the other hand, marionette lines run from the corners of the mouth down to the jawline. These lines can make you appear older, more tired, and even angry or sad. Fillers can help lift those ingrained lines and smooth out your skin.
For some clients who have experienced a significant weight loss, or have lost facial volume due to the aging process, using dermal fillers in the cheek area may create a lifting effect and a more plump, youthful appearance.
Sometimes even Botox® or other neuromodulators are not enough to erase deeply engraved “eleven” lines that appear between your brows after years of frowning. Since Botox® and other neuromodulators treat the underlying muscles that create facial movement, sometimes facial lines become so deep that even at resting facial position, the lines are still present.
Sure, Botox® can work wonders when it comes to smoothing the face, but in situations like these, dermal fillers are the second step. Used in combination with Botox®, a small amount of dermal filler can help boost the skin's shape, and smooth out the deeply etched lines.
If you have a hump on the ridge of your nose but don’t want to undergo rhinoplasty, we may be able to help. Otherwise known as a liquid rhinoplasty, dermal fillers can be used to fill in gaps and create a straighter and smoother profile. A straighter nose adds to a more aesthetically pleasing and youthful appearance. Dermal filler can also be used to create a lift in the nose tip.
Invasive procedures like Rhinoplasty surgery cost thousands of dollars and may take a year or more to heal fully. Here at Aesthetics by Dr. Lee, we can create a more aesthetically pleasing profile for a fraction of the cost, with minimal downtime and instant results.
Your face isn’t the only part of your body to show your age. If you’re a woman troubled by labia that have lost their fullness, fillers can compensate for the lost volume. This can help women feel more confident in bed by having a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and may even help with a more pleasurable experience during intercourse.
Men can also use dermal filler to enhance the girth of the penis. Increasing the size of your manhood can make a larger, aesthetically pleasing appearance, especially when not erect. Some men prefer a fuller and larger look and may turn to dermal fillers. Penile enhancements can also increase pleasure for your partner.
