What are Dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers at Optimal Health Collective are made from hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance created by your body that provides hydration, structure, and plumpness to our skin.
The injection of dermal fillers strategically into the treatment areas will provide hydration, structure, volume, and definition. The areas treated are dependent on your aesthetic goals and can be determined by you and your doctor.
How do dermal fillers work?
Botox works by relaxing muscle movements to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. This is done by injecting the neuromodulator into the muscle causing the line. The neurotransmitter that tells the muscle to contract will be blocked, resulting in the relaxation of the muscle.
Relaxing the muscle will stop the skin from wrinkling and causing lines.
Where is fillers injected & how much will be injected?
Dermal fillers can treat:
- Lips (treating volume loss or enhancing lip shape)
- Jaw line
- Cheeks
- Temples
- Dark under eyes (tear trough)
- Chin
- Neck lines (“Tech neck”)
- Nasolabial folds (Laugh lines)
How long do Dermal fillers last?
How long dermal filler treatment lasts differs from person to person. This is dependent on how fast you metabolize any medication, supplement, or food. The therapeutic effects will typically last around 6 – 18 months.
Some areas will last longer than others. It is dependent on how often the treatment area is used. For areas of more movement (e.g. lips and jaw muscles), the dermal fillers effects are shorter compared to areas of less movement (e.g. forehead).
It’s important to note, dermal filler treatments are cumulative. Meaning the more you maintain it, the less product you may use each time. We recommend not letting the effects completely fade prior to coming back for another round of treatments. Make sure you book your follow up appointment when you start seeing signs of treatment fading, your doctor can determine if more is needed or other treatment options are required.
