Dermal Fillers
When it comes to addressing fine lines around the mouth, dermal fillers can be a great option. Also known as smile lines, these lines occur as a result of aging and repeated facial movements like smiling and laughing. Dermal fillers can help to smooth out these wrinkles and provide a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers are a type of injectable treatment that are used to fill in wrinkles and smooth out the skin. They are made up of hyaluronic acid, which is a natural substance found in the body. The fillers are injected into the skin to add volume and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The effects are typically noticeable immediately and can last for up to six months.
Most dermal fillers contain Hyaluronic Acid which is a substance that naturally exists in your body. Dermal fillers work by instantly diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and giving a natural softer look by revitalizing and adding volume to the skin as well as hydration.
The results of just one injection can be seen straight away and can last for around 6 to 18 months, after which the filler dissolves naturally in the body and the area returns to how it was before the treatment.
Dermal filler injections can give a natural looking result that does not affect facial expression. Dermal fillers can be used to smooth away facial lines and wrinkles, create fuller lips and shape facial contours, such as cheeks and chin, as well as revitalize the skin.
In order to make the treatment more comfortable, some dermal fillers are used with a local anaesthetic and a numbing cream can be applied before the procedure.
The procedure for smile lines using dermal fillers is fairly simple. First, the area around the mouth and nose will be cleaned and a topical numbing cream will be applied to reduce any discomfort. Next, the dermal filler is injected directly into the smile lines. The number of injections needed will depend on the severity of the wrinkles and the desired outcome. The entire procedure usually only takes about 30 minutes and the results are usually immediate.
