Dermal fillers or plumpers are becoming a popular form of minimally invasive skin treatment. When you think of injectors or fillers, you may immediately think of full lips. However, dermal fillers are used to address a number of different skin-related concerns.
At our Med Spa, we offer a variety of dermal fillers to address your various skincare needs. If you are noticing fine lines, wrinkles, and an overall hollow quality of your skin, dermal fillers in Lee’s Summit might be an ideal option for your aesthetic goals.
Collagen is an essential protein found in your skin and other connective tissues that contributes to their elasticity and tautness. As you age, you lose collagen, and this contributes to a number of the telltale signs of aging, including wrinkles, thinning and sagging skin, and the hollow look under your eyes and around the cheeks. Dermal fillers are designed to work as a substitute for the collagen you have lost due to age, temporarily providing the fullness in your face that can last several months. People commonly use dermal fillers for the following:
The procedure itself is simple and minimally invasive. You can receive dermal filler treatments at our Medspa in Lee’s Summit in 15 minutes. During the procedure, our nurse injectors use syringes with very fine needles to inject the fillers in strategic locations under the surface of the skin. The procedure itself is essentially pain-free, and following some short-lived redness at the injection sites, you can see the results right away.
Dermal fillers are a gel-like substance that slowly dissolves under your skin over the course of a few weeks to months. The fillers resemble naturally occurring proteins and substances that are easily and safely reabsorbed by your body. Below is a list of common dermal fillers that are available at our offices in Lee’s Summit:
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a polysaccharide found in the eyes, skin, and joints that is well-known for its ability to retain and hold water. HA is a common ingredient in beauty products for its hydrating qualities. Its gel-like texture makes it a great candidate for a dermal filler. Restylane®, a popular brand of dermal filler, uses HA as its main ingredient.
Calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) is a naturally occurring mineral form of calcium apatite that helps build bone. When used in fillers, microspheres made up of CaHA are suspended in an aqueous carboxymethylcellulose gel carrier. Radiesse® is a popular brand of dermal filler that uses CaHA
Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) is a naturally occurring compound that helps your body create its own collagen. Types of PLLA fillers include Sculptra®.
If you are noticing wrinkles and sagging skin, use dermal fillers to rejuvenate your face and look your best. Dermal fillers are made of naturally occurring substances that mimic the role of collagen in plumping your skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and hollowed areas of the face.
