    Dermal Fillers To Soften Facial Creases And Wrinkles

    Decrease Wrinkles

    A large number of women and men are unhappy with fine lines and wrinkles because it makes them appear older than they actually are. Dermal filler injectables can be used for diminishing aging lines and restoring a youthful facial appearance.

    Motykie Med Spa, led by board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie, provides dermal filler injections for softening facial creases and wrinkles to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

    Types of Facial Fillers for Wrinkle Reduction

    Calcium Hydroxylapatite

    Brand name: Radiesse

    Calcium hydroxylapatite is a naturally occurring mineral compound in the human body. This dermal filler is used for:

    • Nasolabial folds, frown lines, and marionette lines among other moderate to severe creases
    • Enhancing facial contours and fullness of the cheeks
    • Improving in facial areas with atrophy

    Calcium hydroxylapatite used in Radiesse is biosynthetically produced. This means that no animal products are used. This reduces the risk of having an allergic reaction. You won’t require skin testing as well. This dermal filler is known for producing natural results. It doesn’t cause any lumps or migrate. Side effects and complications are rare as well. The dermal filler was earlier used in dentistry with a long safety record.

    Hyaluronic Acid

    Brand names: Captique, Esthélis, Hylaform, Juvederm, Perlane, Prevelle, Restylane

    Hyaluronic acid injectables can be used for improving the contour of the skin and reducing depressions because of injury, scars and lines. You can use hyaluronic acid-based fillers for improving:

    • Cheek depressions
    • Acne scars
    • Crow’s feet
    • Frown lines
    • Deep smile lines or nasolabial furrows
    • Redefining lip border
    • Marionette lines
    • Scars including acne, burns and the ones caused by wounds
    • Smoker’s lines
    • Other types of facial scars
    • Worry lines running across the forehead

    Hyaluronic acid is naturally found in the human body. There are high concentrations of this substance in soft connective tissues and the fluid that surrounds the eyes. HA is also present in skin tissue and joint and cartilage fluids.

    This compound is extracted and reformulated to mimic the natural substance. It has become one of the more popular active ingredients in dermal fillers because of its safety and efficacy. Hyaluronic acid is also injected in the aching joints of patients suffering from arthritis. It provides extra cushioning and relieves pain.

    Polylactic Acid

    Brand name: Sculptra

    Polylactic acid is a type of synthetic dermal filler. It is injected in the face and causes the body to produce collagen. This type of wrinkle reducing dermal filler injectable is usually known as a stimulator. Polylactic acid dermal fillers are known to work particularly well when used in the lower half of the face. It can be used for:

    • Filling the lines caused by laughing
    • Plumping thin lips
    • Treating nasolabial folds

    Polylactic acid based dermal fillers are not the same as other wrinkle reducing fillers. They don’t provide immediate results. Instead, they work to produce collagen in the body. Results usually appear gradually over a period of next few weeks or months depending on individual anatomy.

    You would probably require three monthly treatments for achieving desired results. There is a re-stimulation of collagen production with each medical spa injectable treatment with Sculptra Aesthetic. Motykie Med Spa receives patients from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and nearby areas for dermal fillers to soften facial creases and wrinkles.

    Dermal Fillers Help Remove Shallow Facial Contours

    Enhance Shallow Facial Contours

    Dermal fillers can be used for plumping thin lips and enhancing shallow contours. They can also be used for removing wrinkles and softening facial creases. Improving the appearance of scars is another benefit of dermal injectables. Results are usually immediate depending on the dermal filler you use.

    You can use dermal fillers for adding volume, and filling in wrinkles, scars, and lines for attaining a more youthful and smoother appearance. The injectables are made from bio-compatible and safe microparticles. Smile lines around the mouth and nose, frown lines between eyes, fine lines above lips, and acne scars are some of the most commonly treated concerns.

    Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides dermal fillers for the enhancement of shallow facial contours to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding communities.

    How to Improve Shallow Facial Contours with Fillers?

    Dermal filler injectables can be used for adding volume to soft tissues. They are also called liquid facelifts because they provide almost the same benefits as facelift with zero to little downtime. Injectable dermal fillers can be used in combination with laser treatments, resurfacing procedures, and recontouring procedures.

    Injected material gets metabolized by the body eventually causing the results to be temporary in nature. The extent of results depends on the injection site, skin quality, genetic background, and lifestyle among other factors.

    You cannot clearly predict how long results may last. The treatment provider will attempt to make you more comfortable by using topical anesthesia, numbing spray or local anesthesia.

    Different Types of Dermal Fillers for Contour Refinement

    • Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body. It is ideal for plumping thin lips and filling facial creases, such as nasolabial folds. It is also useful for reducing concave scars and surface wrinkles. Results may last as long as 6 months or more.
    • Hydroxylapatite is again a naturally occurring compound in the human body. It is responsible for bone texture and density. The microspheres are suspended in gel-like formation. This is the heaviest facial filler and is ideal for deeper creases, such as marionette lines, nasolabial folds, and frown lines. It can also be used for enhancing cheek fullness and other facial contours.
    • Treatment providers can inject autologous fat for enhancing facial fulness, filling deep creases, and building up shallow contours. Fat injection is a more extensive procedure as compared to other fillers since it requires liposuction for extracting fat.

    Dermal filler treatment results can last for a year in some cases. Results are highly variable. You may ask the treatment provider to store autologous fat safely for future treatments. However, preserved fat doesn’t provide as favorable results as freshly harvested fat.

    Outlook and Results

    Soft tissue augmentation using injectable fillers doesn’t provide permanent results. The duration of results depends on the absorption of fillers and continued aging of the face. Your facial appearance will return to its original condition if you choose not to get maintenance treatments.

    Plump Thin Lips with Dermal Fillers

    Plump Thin Lips with Fillers

    Lip enhancement is an aesthetic procedure which helps in enhancing and volumizing the lips using a dermal injectable filler treatment. Hyaluronic acid based dermal filers are the most commonly used products, including Restylane and Juvederm. Filler treatments can add fullness, plumpness, and natural-looking volume. They can also even out the shape of your lips.

    Dermal lip fillers are highly customizable. Your cosmetic surgeon will create the best look for you whether it is subtle and low key or prominent and bold. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Gary Motykie provides dermal fillers for lip augmentation to patients in Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, and surrounding locations.

    Suitable Dermal Filler Injectables for Lips

    Juvéderm, Juvéderm Ultra, Juvéderm Ultra Plus, Juvéderm Volbella, Restylane, and Restylane Silk are the most commonly used filles for lip enhancement. All these products contain hyaluronic acid but vary in terms of thickness and how they change the lips.

    Hyaluronic is a naturally occurring sugar derivative in the body. It has the capacity to hold 1,000 times of its weight in water. This makes it perfect for plumping the lips, chin, jaw, and cheeks. It is also useful in hydrating the skin. Hyaluronic acid-based fillers are also recommended for their natural ability and look. They get absorbed in the body over time.

    Juvéderm, Volbella, and Restylane Silk have thinner consistencies. They are usually used superficially to make the lips appear puffy. Restylane is ideal for older patients for redefining and reshaping the scaffolding or borders of lips. Juvéderm Volbella is useful in younger patients for volumizing the lips and giving it that special ‘oomph’. The kind of aesthetics you desire is an important factor when choosing a treatment provider.

    Results of Lip Filler Injections

    There are various factors that determine the extent and length of lip filler results. Desired plumpness, individual metabolism, and the product used are a few determining factors. However, you can expect results to last from six months to three years. On an average, you may require maintenance treatments every six months.

    Number of Syringes Required for Lip Augmentation

    According to experts, a single syringe distributed appropriately is enough for most beginners. This is because maintaining a natural appearance is as important as enhancement. Gradual plumping is key to satisfactory results. Often times, treatment providers start by injecting half a syringe before asking their patients to return in a week or two.

    You should be wary if the doctor suggests getting more than a single syringe if it is your first time. Two syringes are excessive for most people in a single sitting if you want a natural appearance.

    Lips Don’t Stretch Permanently

    Lip fillers don’t cause your lips to stretch permanently. They won’t turn into deflated and saggy bags once the filler dissolves. Experts, on the contrary, state that injecting dermal fillers stimulates collagen production. This could mean that your lips actually become a tiny bit larger naturally following the injectable treatment.
