Dermal Fillers Overview

Volumize and Rejuvenate Your Facial Skin With Dermal Fillers

When you look in the mirror, it never feels good to see folds and wrinkles disrupting your facial harmony. Unsightly signs of aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin, can be caused by genetics, sun exposure, and the natural aging process. Fortunately, restoring your smooth, radiant facial skin may be easier than you realize. At Elevate Plastic Surgery, we offer treatment with several state-of-the-art dermal fillers in Thousand Oaks that can revitalize your complexion and help you turn back the clock on your facial appearance.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable cosmetic treatments used to add natural-looking volume to the facial skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These fillers can enhance the volume and contours of various areas of the face, including the forehead, cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline.

Most commonly, dermal fillers are used to restore lost facial volume and soften the appearance of facial folds and creases.

However, certain fillers can also enhance the shape, plumpness, and texture of the lips.

Most dermal fillers are made from synthetic hyaluronic acid, which closely mimics the hyaluronic acid naturally found in our bodies. This substance is essential for maintaining a healthy, radiant complexion and keeping your skin looking firm and full. Some dermal fillers contain other active ingredients, such as calcium hydroxylapatite or poly-L-lactic acid.

What to Expect During Your Dermal Filler Treatment

If you’re interested in trying a dermal filler, you’ll first need to sit down with Dr. Rahgozar or one of our other knowledgeable practitioners. They’ll examine your facial skin and ask you about your specific goals for the treatment. Additionally, they’ll have questions about your medical history and any allergies you may have to ensure that you’re a good candidate for dermal filler treatment. During this consultation, you’ll also get to decide which dermal filler is the ideal option to meet your needs.

Each dermal filler offers its own unique uses and advantages, and your provider will help you choose the product that will be most equipped to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Your actual treatment will be a quick, painless procedure performed right at our clinic. To begin, a topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin in the targeted area. Dr. Rahgozar will then use a very fine needle to inject your chosen filler into your skin, where it will enhance the volume and contours.

Once the treatment is finished, you’ll be able to head home immediately.

Dermal Filler Recovery and Aftercare

Typically, dermal filler treatment does not require any downtime. However, the treatment can cause some mild swelling or redness, which prompts many patients to take it easy for a day or so. After your treatment, your provider will give you detailed instructions to ensure that your skin heals properly. For example, you’ll likely be advised to avoid direct sun exposure for several days. You should also wait at least 24 hours before engaging in strenuous physical activity.
