If you are concerned about signs of aging, such as loss of volume or wrinkles, you might have thought about getting dermal fillers. This treatment can give you a more youthful complexion! Still, you might hesitate to commit because you are afraid of drawing the wrong kind of attention; you may not want to look like you “have had some work done.” Do dermal fillers look natural? The answer may pleasantly surprise you!
How Dermal Fillers Work
Dermal fillers, such as Juvéderm, contain ingredients that are meant to restore lost volume to the face. Juvéderm does so via hyaluronic acid, which not only smooths wrinkles and adds plumpness to the skin, but it also stimulates your body’s production of collagen, a key structural protein.
Hyaluronic acid is a natural ingredient, and it can be injected in a way that provides subtle and beautiful results.
How to Achieve Natural-Looking Results with Fillers
Here are a few things you can do to increase the chances that your results will live up to your expectations:
- Choose a skilled injector. Your injector’s skill will have a huge impact on your results. They should understand facial anatomy, how to choose the right dosage, and where to place your injections for the most natural-looking outcome. Do not hesitate to ask about your injector’s experience and credentials!
- Communicate with your injector. Make sure your injector knows that you want natural-looking, subtle results. They can adjust your treatment plan accordingly.
- Consider a full-face approach. You might have just one or two areas in your face that you want to enhance. But getting injections in other places can create a more natural appearance overall. For example, if you want to diminish the look of nasolabial folds (smile lines), you can certainly get injections in that area. However, injections in the cheekbone area may also help by reducing sagging skin that can affect lower portions of the face.
- Think about adding other treatments. Often, different cosmetic injectable treatments can complement each other to produce the best results. For example, Juvéderm can provide fast results, while Sculptra works more slowly but provides longer-lasting benefits. BOTOX may also be used to optimize your new look.
Do Not Be Afraid of Dermal Fillers
Rarely, you might hear horror stories of individuals with dermal fillers who are unhappy with their results. The vast majority of the time, though, patients are thrilled with their new look. Dermal fillers have the potential to enhance your appearance without making you look overdone or unnatural!
