Look Your Best this Holiday Season

Why consider dermal fillers

Are you getting ready for a slew of holiday festivities but lack self-confidence about how your face looks? Your cheeks may have lost some of their plumpness, and your smile lines may be overpowering your smile. You’re looking for a solution that’s convenient and fast. You don’t have time in advance to schedule treatments that take months to show results.

It’s time to consider dermal fillers that can help soften those signs of aging and turn back the hands of time. At SkinReMEDI by Natural Body Spa, Dr. Ashley Trowell, Medical Director, supervises a staff of experienced nurse practitioners and medical estheticians trained in the use of dermal fillers and other aesthetic treatments.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are FDA-approved medical grade materials that are injected under the skin’s surface to “correct” skin imperfections like scars and signs of aging. These correction fillers are popular; more than 2.6 million Americans had dermal filler injections in 2016.

The team selects dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid as the preferred ingredient. This acid is a natural material contained in your own body. It binds to water molecules, which helps to hydrate the skin and keep it smooth and silky.

Half of the hyaluronic acid in your body is contained in your skin. It’s highly concentrated near the tissues and fluid around your eyes, as well as in some of your cartilage and joints. Some physicians use hyaluronic acid injections to relieve knee pain from arthritis.

As you age, you lose the levels of hyaluronic acid you had in your youth. This is a normal part of the aging process, but its effects can make you look older; it leads to skin becoming saggy, dehydrated, and wrinkled.

Hyaluronic acid can treat many skin imperfections

Your experienced nurse practitioner administers hyaluronic acid through injections near the site of the area you’re targeting for rejuvenation. If you have any of the following skin imperfections, a hyaluronic dermal filler can be of great help in giving your face a refresh without undergoing a surgical facelift.

• Depressions in your skin from acne scars
• Hollow cheeks
• Crow's feet around your eyes
• Smile lines that have become grooves
• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Vertical lines at the corners of the mouth
• Unclear lip border
• Wound or burn scars
• Forehead lines

Two hyaluronic acid dermal filler brands that your experienced nurse practitioner uses include Juvederm® and Restylane®.

The Juvederm product line can help plump sagging cheeks, reduce the appearance of those deep smile lines (called nasolabial folds), and add softness and fullness to thin, aging lips.

Likewise, Restylane dermal fillers also help smooth out the smile lines and give you plumper cheeks and younger-looking lips, helping erase the telltale lines around them. It’s injected mid-to-deep inside your skin tissue.  

Benefits of hyaluronic acid dermal fillers

Dermal fillers have many benefits:

Long-lasting

Hyaluronic acid fillers last between one to two years. One of the Juvederm brand products for fuller cheeks lasts about two years.

Immediate results

You’ll see results right away. You don’t have to wait weeks or months for changes to appear. This is a distinct advantage during the busy holiday season.

Convenient

Your dermal filler appointment can occur during a lunch hour. You can resume your normal daily activities afterward, but just be sure to avoid rigorous physical activity; don’t go the gym the same day.
