There are some people who think that facial fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of character, but others just want to reverse time and regain the fresh, youthful looks of their younger days. The face is most susceptible to the unwanted effects of ageing, with wrinkles, fine lines and lost volume taking its toll. Dermal fillers are an amazing weapon to fight the ageing process, with fillers adding volume to the skin, smoothing away unwanted facial lines, creases and wrinkles and helping the skin to regain its youthful look.
Dermal fillers can do much more than smooth out wrinkles, they can also help to:
- Reduce the smile and laugh lines around the mouth
- Restore and enhance volume to sunken cheeks or the temples
- Reduce vertical lip lines
- Minimise dark circles under the eye
- Smooth out a chin crease
- Plump up and add a natural fullness to the lips
- Improve facial symmetry
- Restore lost volume in the hands, making them look younger
Nasolabial folds are the creases running down from the side of the nose to the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers are an ideal treatment to reduce these lines and grooves on the face, they’re a versatile product, and they are safe, effective and long-lasting. Smile lines usually begin as faint lines that can eventually turn into deeper creases over time. Dermal fillers fill in the lines and creases, plumping up the skin to give you a more youthful appearance. They add volume, rehydrate and fill in folds and wrinkles by replacing hyaluronic acid and stimulating collagen production.
Smile lines are a particular problem for some people, and unfortunately they are sometimes genetic and run in the family. Creases that stay on the face even after we’ve stopped smiling are more likely to become prominent, especially in slender and older people. The severe nose to mouth lines create deep creases or folds which are very noticeable, but softening or reducing them with dermal fillers can smooth the face, making it look rejuvenated while still keeping it looking natural, allowing the facial features to shine through.
Dermal filler treatment for correcting smile lines normally takes around twenty to thirty minutes and a local anaesthetic injection will minimise any discomfort during the treatment. There’s no downtime and you can immediately go back to work or resume your normal activities. The results are visible straight away, with further improvements becoming noticeable in the following week. Dermal filler injections last for around nine to twelve months, and over time the filler is naturally absorbed back into the body.
