Injectable fillers have gained popularity as they are a minimally invasive treatment. Without a major surgery, you can keep looking youthful by using this quick, relatively painless treatment every 6-12 months.My patients have become more aware of the options because of the growing acceptance and popularity of these products.
Laugh lines
Soft tissue fillers are most often used to treat laugh or smile lines. One to two syringes of filler will soften most laugh lines considerably, but more may be needed if your lines are particularly deep, or if you decide to treat the marionette lines.
Since there are a number of available fillers for fine and deep wrinkles, both may be used in the same patient. Physicians often layer them in the same areas in order to plump folds and fill the lines that often lie in the depths of those folds. They give definition to the lips and fill other wrinkles such as laugh lines, and can be given in minutes with a tiny needle. The results, which last 6-9 months, are instantaneous, producing a natural enhancement that is safe to the skin and gentle. You may return to normal activities within hours.
Lips
The lips are the last place women want to lose volume. For many people a fuller and more sensuous mouth comes high on their wish list. From our late twenties our lips start to become thinner with fine lines eventually starting to appear around the mouth. You can restore your lips to their former glory by injecting a small amount of natural hyaluronic filler. You will be impressed by the instant results with lip filler procedures, whether it's to add lost volume or just to redefine the lip contours. Your new lips can appear as subtle or obvious as you want.
Cheeks
Volume loss in your cheeks shows your age more than anything else. One inexpensive way of creating a youthful look, without resorting to invasive surgery, is Cheek Augmentation using dermal fillers.
As time passes, aging skin may start losing its elasticity and plumpness. This causes the area around the cheek and jaw to sag which eventually leads to a loss of shape and definition in the face. An overall ageing effect to our appearance comes when cheekbones that were once round and prominent now appear somewhat sallow and flat. Cheek augmentation creates a much more balanced face shape by helping to re-define the shape of your face, filling and lifting the cheek areas as well as tightening the surrounding skin. Augmentation can also be used to improve the appearance of overly hollow cheeks and temples by adding volume to the area which gives a softer shape to an overly angular face.
