Every aspect of human development is extremely complex. This complexity exists even when talking about parts of human development that most people do not like. For example, the aging process is something that most people don’t look forward to. One of the factors that contributes to a person looking older as they age is the loss of facial volume. As we get older, our body produces less and less fat and our body is able to hold onto less fat in our face. That’s why when you look at an older individual and you compare a current picture with the way that they looked when they were younger, you notice that in the mid-face area they don’t have the same level of facial volume. In addition to lost facial volume, we also develop fine lines and wrinkles on our face. Fortunately, dermal fillers are designed to restore lost facial volume and fill in these lines and wrinkles.
A few decades ago, the only option that existed for addressing this type of volume loss was surgical. People can have a facelift and do other surgical procedures designed to reposition facial fat. While many of these procedures are effective, they are also risky. If a facelift procedure goes bad, a person is left with a botched appearance that lasts for the rest of their life.
In the last decade, cosmetic professionals have been offering non-surgical options to rejuvenate a person’s facial appearance by restoring facial volume. These non-surgical options include dermal fillers like Juvederm®. Juvederm® is a dermal filler that is comprised primarily of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is something that appears naturally in our body. It’s what our body uses to hold onto moisture, thereby giving our skin its full and plump appearance.
When a person has Juvederm® injections or injections with another filler, they immediately see the positive results. The areas that are injected with the solution begin to fill out right away. The result that this has on a person’s appearance is startling. With just one filler treatment, a person can literally take years off their appearance. In addition to adding volume to the face, it makes a person's skin tighter. And this makes wrinkles and fine lines start to disappear.
What many people like about dermal fillers is that when they are applied by a trained practitioner, they leave a person looking refreshed but not looking like they have been worked on. This is exactly what we aim to do at Supriya Aesthetic Dermatology, with locations in West Palm Beach and Jupiter. Contact us today to schedule a consultation to learn more about fillers!
