Dermal Filler Injections for Youthful Skin in Aurora, CO
Enhancing Facial Contours and Volume
Dermal fillers are an incredibly popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that we offer here at Beyond Skin Dermatology. When used properly, fillers effectively restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and enhance facial contours. These injectable treatments use various substances, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid, to address specific aesthetic concerns and achieve natural-looking results.
Here’s an overview of dermal fillers, their benefits, and what our patients can expect from treatment:
Types of Dermal Fillers
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that provides hydration and volume. Some popular brands of HA fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, and Belotero. These well-tolerated fillers are effective for smoothing fine lines, adding volume to lips and cheeks, and filling in deeper wrinkles like the nasolabial folds around the mouth that cause the face to look aged.
- Calcium Hydroxylapatite Fillers: Radiesse is a well-known brand of calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers. These dermal fillers work by stimulating collagen production and provide longer-lasting results compared to HA fillers. They are ideal for deeper wrinkles and restoring facial volume, particularly in areas like the cheeks and jawline.
- Poly-L-Lactic Acid Fillers (PLLA): Sculptra is a PLLA filler commonly used to treat facial wrinkles and folds gradually, providing a natural-looking enhancement. PLLA fillers stimulate collagen production over time, making them suitable for treating volume loss and improving skin texture.
What to Expect When Receiving Dermal Fillers
- Consultation: First, we will schedule a meeting with Dr. Kim to discuss your goals, assess the target areas, and determine the most suitable filler type and treatment plan for you. Our team will explain the benefits, potential risks, and expected outcomes of the treatment.
- Preparation: Before injecting the fillers, the targeted area is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. Dr. Kim then marks the intended injection location(s).
- Injection: With a small, very fine needle, a small amount of filler is injected into targeted areas. There may be minor discomfort or temporary swelling during the procedure.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the injections, patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities, excessive sun or heat exposure, and alcohol consumption for 24-48 hours. Cold compresses can help reduce swelling, and patients should follow specific aftercare instructions provided by their dermatologist.
