At NuSilk Medical Spa, one of the many ways that we can we help San Jose patients to regain their youthful look is with the use of Dermal Fillers such as Botox, Raidesse, Restylane, Juvederm, Artefill, and Dysport.
As our skin ages, the dermis gradually loses its major structural components: collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. Collagen acts as the major support protein for our skin, elastin allows our skin to stay firm and resist wrinkles, and hyaluronic acid helps to trap water and add volume and shape to our skin.
Dermal fillers are becoming increasingly popular as a means to help reverse the changes associated with aging. Because the goal is to return the dermis to its original youthful state, dermal fillers can give a more natural appearance than surgical face lifts. Dermal fillers are being used to reduce or eliminate wrinkles, raise scar depressions, enhance lips, and replace soft-tissue volume loss.
Dermal fillers materials can help improve fullness of facial skin to regain the youthful appearance, but there are differences in the way each behaves and the duration of time the results of each filler will last. In order to achieve successful results with dermal fillers, it is important to realize that no one filler is ideal for all areas of the face. For example, the cheek areas tolerate fillers differently than lips and not all fillers can be injected in the lips. Thus, it is invaluable to research which dermal fillers work best in the area that you desire treatment.
The Dermal Filler that you choose should be easy to administer, provide reproducible cosmetic results, remain in the skin for a significant period of time and be safe. Most injectable fillers are administered in just a few minutes, and any discomfort can be managed with topical or injectable anesthetics. Some minor initial discomfort is normal, but should be brief, as most patients are comfortable returning to work or other daily activities immediately.
