Types of Dermal Fillers for Skin Smoothing and Lifting

As you age, your skin can start to droop and become more lax, or you might experience volume loss near your cheeks and under-eye areas. This happens due to collagen loss. If you want to combat the loss of collagen and the signs of aging, dermal fillers are an effective solution.

At InjectAbility Clinic, we offer several types of dermal fillers to suit your skin’s needs. We will break down each type of filler and outline their benefits.

What Causes Skin Aging?

Several causes contribute to older-looking skin. From genetics to aging to lifestyle factors, you can experience skin concerns for multiple reasons. Some of the most common reasons for skin aging are not preventable and can only be treated over time. Here are some of the reasons your tissue loses its structural beauty with age.

Less Collagen and Elastin Production

With each passing year, you get older, and your skin produces less collagen. Collagen is an essential fiber that helps your skin remain smooth and elastic. Without enough collagen, your skin starts to look saggy, wrinkled, and flat. This can age your appearance in ways that you might find undesirable.

Elastin is another important compound that helps your skin remain youthful and firm. It gives your skin the ability to “snap back” after it is stretched, pulled, or rubbed, which happens naturally over time as you make different expressions.

Just like collagen, elastin, and fat decline with age. Together, these three fibers form most of your tissue’s strength and firmness.

Lifestyle Habits

Sun damage, tanning, and smoking can age your skin significantly. You might experience more rapid skin aging if you practice these habits often.

Luckily, you can treat these issues with dermal fillers. These injectable treatments hydrate and plump your skin to make you look more youthful. Fillers can smooth wrinkles and fine lines as well.

Dermal Fillers

So what are dermal fillers? And what are they made out of?

Dermal fillers are injectable formulas that usually contain hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid stimulates collagen production and hydrates your skin tissues to keep your complexion looking healthy and youthful.

Over time, your body produces less hyaluronic acid; therefore, it also produces less collagen. Dermal fillers contain this essential skin acid to firm and smooth your skin.

There are different types of dermal fillers for different skin concerns. Some fillers focus on smoothing deep wrinkles, while others are best for finer textural changes. No matter what type of filler you get, you are sure to notice a more rejuvenated look.

Juvéderm®

Juvéderm is a family of face fillers that plump, enhance, and restore collagen production to your skin. We offer many different Juvéderm formulas to help you achieve your desired facial look. We can combine several formulas into one treatment session to help achieve a more youthful-looking appearance.

Juvéderm Volbella

Juvéderm Volbella is a type of lip filler that subtly hydrates your lips. If you have naturally thin lips, lip filler is the most effective non-surgical solution. Many patients are more satisfied with the appearance of their lips after getting Juvéderm injections.

You may have seen overly enhanced lips before. Don’t let this drive you away from Juvéderm Volbella lip fillers. We will discuss your aesthetic goals before we begin injections. If you want a more natural, subtle lip enhancement, our skilled injectors will provide that for you.  Juvederm Ultra is also a lip filler option that can achieve a fuller, softer, more kissable pout.

Juvéderm Voluma

Juvéderm Voluma boosts your facial volume in areas where your skin looks hollow and sunken. This is a common concern for aging patients as they struggle with less collagen production. Voluma contains hyaluronic acid to continuously improve your structure and skin elasticity, even after your filler injections are complete.

This dermal filler also smooths fine lines and wrinkles on the lower half of your face. If you struggle with smile lines, marionette lines, smoker’s lines, or other expression lines, Juvéderm Voluma is the treatment for you.

For facial volume enhancement, the Voluma formula is unmatched. If you want to improve the entire upper or lower face with Juvéderm, ask us about this premium formula.

Restylane®

Restylane cheek fillers create plumper, rounder cheeks to make your face look younger. Volume loss in these areas can age your face and make your complexion look dull. With Restylane fillers, we increase the volume of your cheeks and under-eye areas for a more youthful overall appearance.

When your mid-face is rounder and fuller, your skin looks more lifted. This is an excellent alternative if you want to avoid surgery. Restylane includes hyaluronic acid, so your skin will continue to produce collagen after your treatment.

These fillers include a gel-like substance. This texture boosts your skin’s volume and youthful plumpness, giving you a more lively complexion.

Whichever type of filler you receive, you’ll always receive top quality care from our team of professionals, and a natural-looking result that you will be proud of.

I got filler for the first time with Dominique. She is such a sweetheart! She listened to all of my concerns and delivered the exact results I wanted! She didn't rush and took her time to achieve the look I was going for, natural youthful lips! She has a gentle hand and made me feel so at ease. I will be returning soon. And the clinic is pristine and all of the staff very welcoming.
