At Glow Medical Spa, we offer dermal filler treatments to help restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours for a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dermal fillers are a non-surgical solution designed to target signs of aging and restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, under the eyes, lips, and jawline.
Dermal fillers are injectable substances made of hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, poly-L-lactic acid, or other biocompatible materials. These fillers are used to smooth wrinkles, restore volume, and enhance facial features by plumping areas of the face that may have lost fullness due to aging, weight loss, or genetics.
Hyaluronic acid, one of the most common ingredients used in dermal fillers, is a naturally occurring substance in the skin that retains moisture, ensuring a smooth, hydrated, and youthful appearance. The results from dermal fillers are immediate, and the procedure is minimally invasive with little to no downtime.
Smile Lines (Nasolabial Folds): The deep lines running from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth can develop over time. Dermal fillers can plump these areas, smoothing out the lines and restoring a youthful appearance.
Marionette Lines: These lines that run from the corners of your mouth down toward the chin can give a more downturned look. Dermal fillers can lift and smooth these lines, resulting in a more youthful and pleasant expression.
Under-Eye Hollows (Tear Troughs): Hollow areas under the eyes can create a tired or aged appearance. Dermal fillers can restore volume in the under-eye area, reducing dark circles and providing a refreshed, bright-eyed look.
Cheek Volume Loss: As we age, we often lose volume in the cheeks, which can make the face appear sunken or gaunt. Dermal fillers can restore fullness and contour to the cheeks, enhancing the natural structure of the face and creating a more youthful profile.
Lip Enhancement: Dermal fillers can add volume and definition to the lips, creating a fuller, more balanced appearance. Whether you desire subtle enhancement or more pronounced volume, dermal fillers can help achieve your desired look.
Jawline Contouring: A well-defined jawline can help balance the proportions of the face. Dermal fillers can add volume to the jawline, creating sharper contours and a more sculpted look.
Chin Augmentation: A receding chin can disrupt facial harmony. Dermal fillers can be used to enhance the chin’s shape and create better facial balance.
Hands (Volume Loss in Hands): As we age, the skin on the hands loses volume, making veins and tendons more prominent. Dermal fillers can restore volume to the hands, giving them a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The longevity of dermal filler results can vary depending on the type of filler used, the treatment area, and individual factors like metabolism. Generally, results can last anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. Areas with more movement, like the lips, may require more frequent touch-ups, while areas like the cheeks may last longer.
Most clients find the treatment relatively comfortable. We use a variety of techniques to ensure your comfort, including applying a topical numbing cream before injections.
The most common side effects of dermal fillers are temporary and may include swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. These effects usually subside within a few days. Rarely, there may be more significant side effects such as infection or lumps, which can be minimized by choosing a skilled, experienced injector.
