At enhanceskin, our clients frequently ask, ‘How can dermal fillers help enhance my appearance?’ There’s a common misconception that the sole use of fillers is for lip enhancement, and while fillers can indeed help create beautifully sculpted, fuller lips, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, we offer a whole range of treatments using dermal fillers at both our Nelson and Marlborough clinics. Read on for all the ways that these versatile injectables can help.
How can dermal fillers help enhance your appearance?
As we age, the bones of the face shrink. Fat and soft tissue are lost from beneath the skin. This ageing process leaves hollows under the eyes, at the temples and the corners of the mouth, pleating across the cheeks, and grooves running from the nose to the mouth. The ‘apple’ of the cheek may also sink. We can correct all these signs of ageing by ‘volumising’ with fillers placed deeper within the skin. Thus, restoring your youthful “Triangle of Beauty”. This is the so-called ‘Liquid Face-Lift”.
But there are many other and lesser-known uses for dermal fillers. Here are three that you might not have known about.
1: Strengthening and sculpting a jawline:
This treatment is particularly popular with our male clients. Like women, a man’s skin can lose volume and elasticity as they age, affecting their masculine profile. Dermal fillers can help to enhance this once again.
2: Rejuvenating ageing hands:
Your hands also lose volume as you age, just like your face. In fact, because the skin on the back of the hands is so thin. Loss of volume can sometimes occur faster. This results in veins becoming more prominent, tendons showing through, and bones protruding. This can be a real age give-away if neglected. But fillers help disguise skeletonised hands and bring them back to their former glory.
3: Reducing acne scars:
Fillers can be injected just beneath the scars, thus lifting them and giving a smoother appearance.
Remember that fillers also act as a biostimulant that encourages new collagen growth in the skin itself; this means that your skin works harder to heal itself.
