Dermal Fillers Specialist in Avon CT

Dermal fillers are non-surgical cosmetic injections used to restore facial volume, smooth out lines and wrinkles, and enhance natural contours. Dermal fillers come in various types, with the two most common varieties being hyaluronic acid-based (HA) fillers and calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers.
 
HA fillers are made of a substance that is naturally found in the body. These fillers work by attracting and retaining water to add plumpness to the skin. They create natural-looking results and can be reversed if necessary. Familiar brands of HA fillers include Restylane and Juvederm.
 
CaHA fillers contain calcium-based microspheres that stimulate collagen production, making them particularly effective for deeper wrinkles and areas requiring a more substantial lift, such as nasolabial folds. CaHA fillers, such as Radiesse, provide quite long-lasting results and continue to improve skin quality over time.
 
Dermal fillers are a non-invasive and quick way to refresh your look. The right filler for you depends on the specific concerns and goals you have. One of our skilled cosmetic specialists will help you accurately determine the most practical filler for your needs and administer it with precision to achieve your dream results.

Botox and dermal fillers are two different non-surgical cosmetic treatments. At times, these injectables are mistaken for one another, however, they work in fundamentally unique ways.
 
Botox temporarily paralyzes specific muscles by blocking nerve activity. This makes this particular injectable highly effective for addressing dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle contractions due to repetitive facial expressions. For example, frown and smile lines can be successfully softened with Botox.
 
In contrast, dermal fillers are injectables that add volume, fill out creases, and plump the skin. These are ideal for treating static wrinkles, which are visible even at rest, and restoring areas that have a “sunken” appearance due to lost volume. If you want to enhance or even out your lips, fillers are an excellent option.
 
Overall, both Botox and dermal fillers are versatile treatments that can be employed to enhance your facial features as well as smooth out wrinkles and folds. Your areas of concern and goals for treatment will reveal to the practitioner which of these two approaches is best for you.

The length of time dermal fillers last is linked to a variety of factors, including the type of filler used, the area treated, and your metabolism. For example, HA fillers typically last from 6 to 18 months. This duration varies depending on the specific HA filler product and where it’s injected.
 
Alternatively, CaHA fillers offer longer-lasting results, ranging from 12 to 24 months. Furthermore, poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers stimulate collagen production and can create results that persist for around 2 to 3 years.
 
It’s important to remember that personal experiences may vary. In addition, it’s urged to consider maintenance sessions to sustain the desired results for a longer period. Your lifestyle choices, metabolism, and the area treated will strongly influence how long the effects remain.

The amount of dermal filler you should get for your first time can’t be determined without a consultation. The volume depends on the specific concerns you want to address and your desired look. This is highly individual, so a skilled practitioner will guide you through the decision-making process. For subtle enhancements, a small amount of filler is usually sufficient to smooth fine lines or add volume to the lips.
 
If you have moderate creases or areas of lost volume, a slightly larger quantity of filler will be needed to achieve the desired results. Many people opt for a conservative amount for their first treatment, so they can add more filler in subsequent sessions if needed. This ensures a natural look and allows you to become accustomed to the changes. Your specialist will conduct a thorough assessment, talk through your goals, and determine how much filler is needed to achieve the look you want while maintaining a natural facial balance.
