Facial filler treatments are well-known for their ability to help patients experience added volume for more youthful facial contours, particularly in areas like the cheeks, lips, and chin. However, aesthetic filler injections can have a range of additional benefits that not all patients are necessarily familiar with.
Your Dermal Filler Consultation
If you are interested in what aesthetic fillers can do for you, the first step is to talk to an expert in injectable treatments. Nurse Practitioner Jessica Hass has over 10 years of healthcare experience and performs injectable therapy at Anthony Aesthetics, led by Dr. Charles Anthony II. During your initial consultation, she will examine your symptoms, as well as medical history and allergies, to confirm you are a good candidate for this non-surgical therapy.
Jessi offers a range of dermal filler options, including Belotero, Radiesse, and the Juvederm collection. With these dermal fillers, she can also:
1. Improve Skin Hydration
Aesthetic fillers like Juvederm and Belotero contain hyaluronic acid. HA holds up to 1000 times its weight in water. When Juvederm or Belotero is injected underneath the skin, it absorbs the surrounding water molecules, dramatically improving hydration in these areas for better texture and tone.
2. Enhance Elasticity
Radiesse is a biostimulatory filler containing CaHA (calcium hydroxylapatite) microspheres. These spheres act like a scaffold, lifting the skin. However, CaHA also stimulates the body’s production of collagen and elastin. The new collagen contributes to long-term additional skin tissue, while the new elastin results in the tightening of loose skin.
3. Reduce Acne Scars
If you have atrophic (indented) acne scars, dermal fillers could help here, too. The formula is injected just below the acne scars, essentially “pushing back out” the skin for a smoother surface.
4. Alleviate Asymmetry
Have you noticed that your face is not perfectly symmetrical? Jessi can easily adjust a dermal filler procedure to focus on just one cheek, one fold, or another specific area on just one side of the face.
5. Provide A Minimally Invasive Alternative To Surgery
Although its results are unmatched, not everyone needs or wants plastic surgery. Plenty of patients only have mild to moderate symptoms that do not necessitate the recovery period that comes with all plastic surgery. Also, HA fillers dissolve over time, allowing recipients to opt for different amounts during future visits.
6. Get You Back In The Office Quickly
There is almost no downtime after dermal filler procedures; patients typically return to work right after their sessions. If your job requires heavy lifting, you may be asked to stay home for a day or two to allow the filler to settle.
7. Help You See Nearly Instant Results!
Lastly, the effects of HA fillers are almost instantaneous. For biostimulatory fillers like Radiesse, you’ll enjoy some benefits immediately while awaiting your full results.
The Benefits Don’t End There
Dermal filler injectables can have numerous other incredible benefits depending on the patient. If you are in the St. Petersburg, Clearwater, or Tampa Bay, FL, area and would like more information, contact Anthony Aesthetics today to schedule your consultation!
