The smooth texture and rounded contours of a youthful face are due to healthy levels of collagen and hyaluronic acid in the skin, well-distributed facial fat, and plenty of elastin. Faces take on an aged appearance as collagen and elastin concentrations are depleted, leading to less elastic skin and wrinkles. Collagen and fat loss can also cause the structure of the face to change, deflating full areas and leading to sagging. While surgery is one solution, clients seeking a nonsurgical option can find it in dermal fillers at Barris Laser & Skincare.
Restylane®
One of the most well-known hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers, Restylane® is intended for temporarily smoothing out moderate to severe facial lines, especially nasolabial folds.
Restylane Lyft®
This hyaluronic acid-based dermal filler is formulated for adding volume to the apple of the cheeks, rounding out hollow or sunken areas, and lifting sagging tissue that causes drooping lower on the face.
Dermal Filler Expectations
Dermal filler injection treatments can usually be completed in around 30 minutes or less depending on how many areas you decide to treat and the recovery time is little to none. You could expect to experience some redness, minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, but usually these symptoms subside within 24 hours or so. You could expect the results to last from 4 months to 1 year depending on the severity of your wrinkles or fine lines and the type of dermal filler used.
What Do Dermal Fillers Cost?
Cost can be discussed at the consultation, when the specific dermal filler and how much of it to be used will be determined based on each client’s skin, facial structure, and goals.
What Treatments Compliment Dermal Fillers?
Since dermal fillers add volume, they work best on static wrinkles, which develop as collagen and hyaluronic acid diminish. Dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive muscle movements, can be temporarily smoothed by DYSPORT, which relaxes the muscles and reduces the appearance of the lines—primarily forehead lines and crow’s feet. *Results may vary*
