The Primary Function of Dermal Fillers

If you are noticing fine lines and wrinkles appearing on your face, they are the normal signs of aging. Fortunately, your dermatologist has a powerful weapon to fight the early signs of aging. It’s called dermal fillers. Drs. Melanie and David Hecker at Hecker Dermatology Group provide comprehensive medical and cosmetic dermatology services, including dermal fillers. They have two convenient office locations in Pompano Beach and Tamarac, FL.

What You Need To Know About Dermal Fillers

The primary function of dermal fillers is to “fill in” fine lines, wrinkles, and other skin depressions including scars. Dermal fillers can:

• Minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars
• Smooth out the surface of your skin
• Restore lost facial volume, making your face appear plumper and more youthful

There are several types of dermal fillers, and your dermatologist can help you decide on the dermal filler or fillers right for you. Consider:

• Radiesse, Perlane, Restylane, Juvederm, and Juvederm Ultra Plus, if you have deep wrinkles
• Belotero and Restylane Silk if you have fine lines
• Sculptra Aesthetic and Juvederm Voluma if you want to restore facial volume

When you choose dermal fillers, you will enjoy:

• Quick treatment because each procedure can be completed in about 15 minutes
• Immediate results because your skin will appear smoother within minutes after treatment is completed
• Long-lasting benefits because your amazing results can last up to one year
• Convenience because dermal filler treatment requires no downtime

During your dermal filler treatment, small amounts of dermal filler are injected just under the skin, using a tiny needle. The injections are tolerated well by most people, and you can request a numbing spray or cream before your session. The number of injections you will need varies, depending on the area or areas being treated and the individual characteristics of your skin.
