7 Benefits of Dermal Fillers in Your Anti-Aging Regimen
Dermal fillers are growing in popularity as a way to turn back the clock on ageing. What started as a method to refine the features has now become a common part of the anti-ageing toolkit. Here are just some of the ways dermal fillers can offer anti-aging benefits.
1. Restore lost volume
One of the first signs of ageing is often a loss of volume in the face. This is due to a reduction in collagen and elastin in the skin. By restoring volume to the face, you’ll be able to enjoy a plumped up and youthful appearance again.
Common areas to lose volume as we age include the under eyes, cheeks, brows and lips. This can lead to a sunken appearance as your skin sags down. By using dermal fillers, you can reverse one of the most obvious signs of ageing.
2. Plump up wrinkles
Wrinkles can look more dramatic when the skin is dehydrated and lacking in volume. By plumping up the volume in strategic parts of your face, you can erase fine lines and achieve a youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers work for both deep-set wrinkles such as smile lines and forehead lines. They also work for finer lines as vertical lip lines and bunny lines. Remember there is a difference between ageing lines and expression lines, and dermal fillers offer benefits for both.
3. Boost collagen production
Dermal fillers help to increase collagen production, which can help to achieve a naturally youthful appearance. This works by stretching the cells that produce collagen in the skin, which helps to stimulate production. This could help to slow down the ageing process and allow you to go longer between treatments.
4. Targeted approach
One of the biggest benefits of dermal fillers is that they are very targeted. You can pinpoint the areas of your face that make you feel self-conscious and then target these with dermal fillers. This is different to whole-of-face skin care such as dermal rolling or masks, which addresses the whole face, which might not leave you with the results you are looking for.
5. Make skincare more effective
When your skin is smoothed out and free from wrinkles, you’ll have an easier time applying your skincare. Good skincare can further enhance the effects of dermal fillers, so you’ll have additional incentive to make sure you’re taking extra special care of your skin.
6. Long-lasting results
In certain parts of the face, dermal fillers can last a surprisingly long time, even up to 18 months in some cases. This ensures you have some consistency in the way you look, which can help to avoid the self-consciousness of feeling your face change drastically and then rebound when the filler wears off. With a good maintenance schedule, you should be able to maintain the anti-ageing results with ease.
7. Encourage healthy habits
When you start to invest in your skin through dermal fillers, you might find that you are more likely to adopt healthier habits. Those who pay for dermal fillers need to consider the effects of dehydration on their skin. Drinking plenty of water will help to make your dermal fillers more effective.
You can also take steps to improve your diet by including more fresh fruits and vegetables. And finally, you’ll also want to make sure you are applying an SPF every day as part of your skincare routine. Even if you can’t feel the sun, the UV rays can still penetrate through the clouds and cause irreversible damage to your skin.
