Which Dermal Filler Is Right for Me?

Which-Dermal-Filler-Is-Right-for-Me

Desert Eyesthetics is proud to offer dermal fillers, one of today’s most popular age-defying and skin rejuvenation procedures. The minimally invasive treatments effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles and correct age-related volume loss, all without the need for surgery. You can restore your skin’s youthful appearance after just one session, with dramatic results lasting for months!

How Do Dermal Fillers Work?

As the years go by, the fat surrounding the cheekbones begins to deteriorate, and the collagen that helps the skin retain its shape starts breaking down, resulting in loss of volume and definition. The skin starts losing its elasticity, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to develop.

Hyaluronic acid naturally occurs in the body. It helps keep the tissues hydrated while playing a role in transporting nutrients to the skin and increasing its strength and elasticity. As the body ages, hyaluronic acid becomes less abundant, leading to a noticeable loss of volume and structure. 

Dermal fillers combat the tell-tale signs of aging using hyaluronic-based formulas that, when injected underneath the skin’s surface using fine needles, immediately soften your fine lines and creases and correct volume loss. They can virtually erase multiple types of wrinkles, including marionette lines, smile lines, corner lines, and lip lines. Dermal fillers can also plump thin lips, smooth out the forehead, and improve the appearance of sagging skin or scars.

Our hyaluronic acid fillers can last up to two years, depending on your treatment area, your skin condition, your age, and your lifestyle. With periodic touch-ups, you can enjoy a healthier, more youthful appearance for many years to come!

Are Dermal Fillers Safe? 

Dermal fillers come with minimal risk of serious side effects. Some patients experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site. However, these temporary side effects resolve soon without intervention. 

Which Dermal Filler is Right for You?

Some differences in our fillers mean they work better for different aesthetic purposes. During your consultation, Dr. Garcia will evaluate the areas requiring treatment and determine the appropriate filler to achieve your goals. She may recommend using fillers in conjunction with other age-defying and skin rejuvenating procedures to deliver results you love. 

The following are some of the effective and safe dermal fillers we offer right here at our Gilbert, AZ office: 

Restylane – This crystal clear hyaluronic-acid based injectable gel helps plump the skin, enhances the lips, and smooths away wrinkles and folds, including the lines from the nose to the corners of the mouth called nasolabial folds. The effects generally last about 6 – 12 months, after which you will require a follow-up treatment to maintain the dramatic results.

  • Restylane Silk is the first FDA-approved dermal filler specifically designed for lip augmentation and smoothing out wrinkles around the mouth in adults ages 21 and over.
  • Restylane Lyft is the first and only hyaluronic acid-based filler FDA-approved to treat the face and hands.
  • Restylane Refyne helps soften laugh lines (nasolabial folds and marionette lines).
  • Restylane Defyne effectively smoothes out deep laugh lines.

BELOTERO BALANCE – This hyaluronic-based injectable gel temporarily smooths out and fills in moderate-to-severe nasolabial folds along with moderate-to-severe etched-in lines and wrinkles around the lips and mouth.

JUVÉDERM – This natural, biosynthetic hyaluronic acid is not animal-based, meaning there is no fear of allergic reactions. It helps replace hyaluronic acid loss in aging skin, revitalizing its appearance. JUVÉDERM helps correct volume loss and improves the appearance of lines around the mouth, fine forehead lines, crow’s feet, sunken cheeks, acne scars, and other facial scars and wrinkles. 

  • JUVÉDERM VOLUMA XC corrects age-related volume loss in adults 21 and over.
