DERMAL FILLERS
Cosmetic injections to shape areas of the face and improve volume.
As you age, the texture and appearance of your skin will change. In particular, you will develop wrinkles around your eyes, on your forehead, and between your eyebrows. It’s also common for your lips to lose volume over time.
Dermal fillers are injectables that use Hyaluronic acid. The providers can use these products to shape all areas of the face and improve volume where needed and provide facial balancing.
Injectable Dermal Fillers Are Often Used to:
● Remove wrinkles and lines around the mouth and nose
● Enhance the appearance of sunken cheeks or temples
● Plump and enhance the lips
● Rough or uneven lip texture
● Remove chin creases
● Soften the look of recessed scars
● Lift a down-turned mouth
● Rejuvenates hands
How Dermal Fillers Work
Many dermal fillers contain a gentle sugar called hyaluronic acid. This sugar helps your skin retain volume and moisture. When you are young, you have high amounts of this sugar in your skin. However, your body will naturally make less of this substance over time.
As the amount of hyaluronic acid in your body decreases, your face will lose volume. As a result, it’s normal for your lips to become thinner over time. Dermal fillers revitalize your appearance by restoring lost volume to your mouth. When the providers inject your chosen filler into your target area, the hyaluronic acid in the product will increase the size of your lips, giving you a fuller, more attractive pout.
The Dermal Filler Treatment Process
Prepare For Your Appointment
Purely Balanced Beauty will provide a simple pre-care checklist to follow before your appointment. In particular, you will asked to stop taking anti-inflammatory medications and supplements for at least two weeks before your appointment. This includes ibuprofen, aspirin, or fish oil supplements.
Starting two days before your injections, you should stop using skincare products that contain Retinol on your target area. Further, you should not drink alcohol for twenty-four hours. Finally, please notify the providers of any history of cold sores prior to treatment.
Treatment Begins
Purely Balanced Beauty will begin your treatment by using a combination of hebicleanse and hypochlorous to clean your skin. Although your cosmetic injections will be very gentle, if you are feeling nervous about this process, we apply a topical anesthetic to the skin and also use a vibration method that help minimize the discomfort.
Administering Your Filler
Once your skin is numb, the Purely Balanced Beauty will inject your chosen filler into your target area. This is a very straightforward process, and your appointment is likely to take only fifteen to forty minutes to complete.
