Getting older usually means getting wiser, but it also tends to mean that our skin is developing signs of aging like wrinkles and a loss of volume. These common skin conditions can leave you looking older externally than you feel internally. Fortunately, we live in an exciting era of advancements in the field of dermatology and cosmetic procedures. Treatments like fillers are available at our offices in Jupiter, FL and West Palm Beach, FL for both medical and cosmetic skin complaints. These treatments do not involve surgery that can be risky and require significant downtime.
Facial Fillers
Many Jupiter, FL residents have recently discovered facial fillers. If you have been dealing with skin that has sunken around your cheeks or under your eyes, treatment with facial fillers can help restore that lost volume and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles in those areas.
How Facial Fillers Work
Facial fillers are non-surgical treatments for the restoration of lost facial volume. They contain various substances in gel form that are injected into the face to restore facial volume. The result is a more youthful facial appearance. Although you will appear different, facial fillers offer results that appear quite soft and natural. You will look somewhat younger and well-rested after your treatment, but you will still look like yourself.
A Note About Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is a substance made by your body in ample amounts when you are young. As you grow older, you produce less of this important skin component and the amount you have also begins breaking down more rapidly. This results in a hyaluronic acid deficiency that negatively affects your skin.
The reason hyaluronic acid is so important in maintaining youthful skin is that it acts as an internal sponge, soaking up water molecules inside skin tissue. When it becomes depleted, your skin loses volume because it dries out from within, and lines and wrinkles begin forming.
We can help reverse this process by restoring your proper hyaluronic acid levels. Once injected, hyaluronic acid-based fillers go to work immediately to moisturize and plump your skin, filling in hollowed areas and lines and wrinkles.
