DERMAL FILLERS in Atlanta

Dermal Fillers

Atlanta Plastic Surgery

Dermal fillers can smooth wrinkles and add natural-looking volume to facial features without the downtime and recovery of traditional facial surgery! Not every person wants to undergo lengthy surgical procedures to reduce the signs of aging. Cosmetic injections have become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments due to their quickness and convenience. Astra Plastic Surgery offers a variety of dermal fillers in Atlanta to restore a youthful-looking facial profile.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Cosmetic injectables are one of the fastest growing categories in all of facial plastic surgery, and dermal fillers are among the most popular products in this field. In the past, if you wanted to get rid of facial wrinkles and sagging skin, facial surgery was the only solution.

Today, there are a variety of dermal fillers that can restore youthfulness to your face without invasive surgery or long recovery times. By definition, a dermal filler is a product that is injected or placed into the dermis. Our cosmetic patients are satisfied to have an immediate correction of wrinkles or scars as a result of cosmetic fillers. Injectables work under the skin to replace elasticity and plump up sagging skin.

What Are My Dermal Filler Options?

The choice of dermal filler material is very important depending on the area that needs to be corrected. The results from most dermal fillers are temporary – commonly lasting from a few months to a year depending on the type of facial filler or injectable used.

A dermal filler entails a series of tiny injections under the skin’s surface and the amount administered depends on the depth and size of the skin imperfection or wrinkle. In most cases, additional treatment sessions are encouraged for optimal results. Astra Plastic Surgery provides Atlanta dermal filler patients numerous options, including:

BOTOX Cosmetic

When injected, BOTOX treats what are called “dynamic” wrinkles (muscles caused by repetitive movement) by blocking the impulses from specific nerves to specific muscles. Wrinkles form when nerve cells within the muscles release a chemical known as acetylcholine that triggers a muscle contraction. BOTOX disrupts the release of acetylcholine, thus paralyzing the muscle and preventing the wrinkle from forming.

This hyaluronic acid-based filler uses the Juvéderm formula to add natural-looking volume to the midface. Voluma can sculpt fuller, rounder cheeks and improve hollowing without the need for surgery or extended downtime.

This injectable gel is best for treating nasolabial folds and marionette lines, which are wrinkles that commonly form around the mouth and nose. This treatment can help the skin retain moisture and provide youthful-looking volume to your appearance.

Kybella

Kybella is an innovative non-surgical solution to treat double chin. This series of injections can target unwanted fat cells around the chin and neck (known as submental fat). Kybella is made from deoxycholic acid, which is a naturally-occurring molecule in the body that assists with the breakdown and absorption of fat. Kybella can help achieve a slimmer, more youthful jawline and neckline.

What Are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?

The most popular dermal fillers today are made of hyaluronic acid (HA), which is a naturally-occurring substance in the body that provides volume and fullness to the skin. After the age of thirty, everyone starts to lose approximately 1% of HA from their body and women lose this hyaluronic acid 33% faster than men.

Because of this, the face starts to lose volume, accentuating the signs of aging. Hyaluronic acid fillers can restore volume to facial structures. HA dermal fillers are often an effective option because the body already produces the chemical naturally, so it lessens the chance of an allergic reaction, while also allowing for smoother, natural-looking results. Botox differs from dermal fillers in that it does not fill wrinkles, but instead reduces the muscular contractions that cause the wrinkles to form. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are today’s most popular injectables because their naturally-occurring substance is essential to restoring youthful-looking skin.

How Are Cosmetic Injections Administered?

Astra Plastic Surgery Procedures in Atlanta, GA

Dermal fillers are injected underneath the targeted imperfections to replace lost volume. When considering cosmetic injectables to improve the signs of aging, Botox is typically effective for the top half of your face, while dermal fillers can dramatically improve the bottom portion.

The main areas where dermal fillers are used are the areas that frame the teeth and mouth. Some types can also be used for high lip line cases, asymmetrical lips around the mouth, lip augmentation, and completing cosmetic dentistry cases by creating a beautiful, youthful-looking frame around the teeth. Dermal fillers can volumize creases and folds in the areas of your face that have lost fat and collagen, resulting in a fuller, more rejuvenated expression.
