What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable substances that restore volume, smooth lines, and enhance your facial contours. They’re commonly composed of hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your body that helps maintain skin hydration and elasticity. 

Other types of fillers may contain synthetic or biocompatible materials.

How can dermal fillers improve my appearance?

Dermal fillers can improve your appearance in several ways, including:

Volume restoration

With aging comes the loss of facial volume, leading to sunken cheeks, hollow under eyes, and thinning lips. Dermal fillers can restore volume to these areas, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.

Wrinkle reduction

Fillers smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around your nose, mouth, and chin. They also soften deep lines and folds, such as nasolabial folds (smile lines) and marionette lines.

Contouring

Fillers can sculpt and contour your face by enhancing your cheekbones, defining your jawline, and improving your overall facial symmetry.

Lip enhancement

Dermal fillers add volume and definition to your lips, creating a fuller, more attractive lip shape. They can also reduce the appearance of vertical lip lines (smoker's lines) around your mouth.

How are dermal fillers administered?

At Beautiful Body and Soul, the process of getting dermal fillers involves the following:

Consultation

During your initial consultation, Rosemarie assesses your facial anatomy, discusses your goals, and recommends the most suitable filler type and treatment plan for your needs.

Preparation

Before your treatment, the targeted area gets cleansed, and a topical numbing cream or local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.

Injection

Rosemarie carefully injects the targeted areas using a fine needle or cannula. She may combine techniques to achieve optimal results, ensuring a natural-looking outcome.

Post-treatment care

After your injections, avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and certain medications that may increase the risk of bruising.

How long do dermal filler results last?

Your dermal filler results depend on factors like the type of filler used, the area you choose to have treated, and your metabolism. 

Generally, results can last anywhere from 6-24 months. Over time, your body gradually breaks down the filler material, and you may need touch-up treatments to maintain your desired appearance.
