subject: What Are Dermal Fillers And How Can They Reduce The Appearance Of Wrinkles? [print this page] As each and every person gets older, their skin will experience a loss in collagen production and volume, causing skin to develop wrinkles and fine lines. This phenomenon is unavoidable; it is simply a process of time and age. However, scientists have found a way to literally turn back the clock on aging and the appearance of wrinkly skin by developing a procedure with which to not only address the effects of collagen loss, but to also help return the face to a state of youthful fullness and vitality.
If you wanted to fix your sagging skin twenty years ago, your only options would have been to go under the knife and get a facelift. But now, the same results that plastic surgery achieved twenty years ago can be achieved through non-surgical means.
Dermal fillers are non-invasive (non-surgical) procedures with which to address and correct wrinkles and depressions in the skin that have been caused by the effects of time and age. Dermal Fillers San Francisco are basically injectable substances- usually hyaluronic acid or a compound resembling collagen- capable of eliminating a patients marionette lines (laugh lines), crows feet, and the furrows between their brows as well as plumping up lips that are thinning. Dermal fillers are injected directly into the wrinkles that the patient wants to target.
Dermal fillers get their effectiveness by working underneath the skin to plump the face up- reducing wrinkles and replacing skin elasticity in the process. These dermal fillers are different from plastic surgeries designed to address a patients wrinkles, such as facelifts, in that they neither tighten nor flatten the skin on the face, thereby avoiding the fake, plastic look that most facelifts are known to create.
Some of the most common dermal fillers today, such as Restylane, Juvederm, and Radiesse, have been made either using natural materials or synthetic materials designed to mimic natural materials that have been designed to inherently work with your bodys physiological system, thereby eliminating the risk of allergic reaction and/or animal contagion contamination.
According to statistics provided by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, in 2011, procedures involving dermal fillers using Hyaluronic Acid (Hylaform, Juverderm, Restylane, etc.) were the second most sought-after nonsurgical cosmetic procedures by Americans. This perhaps due to the fact that dermal filler procedures are not only quick and efficient (typical dermal filler treatments only take about twenty minutes to complete), but also able to avoid the recovery period and downtime required after surgical Wrinkle Treatments San Francisco. Because dermal fillers can provide immediate results at a fraction of the cost of surgery, they have been called liquid facelifts. For more information click here.
