Dermal Fillers: The Secret To Perfect Skin

As we get older, the more and more deep lines and wrinkles appear on our face. They may not be noticeable to others, but they can really affect our self-confidence. A facelift isn’t the answer for everyone and a non-invasive procedure could be the forward for you. Before going ahead with dermal fillers, find out all the information that you need, make sure that your doctor has dermal filler training.

Why do we get lines and wrinkles?

Did you know our skin is naturally filled with collagen? As we age we begin to lose the shape which is created by collagen as it is worn away by sun exposure, stress and smoking. It is almost impossible to avoid lines, even if you do avoid the causes above and this is the reason why many choose dermal fillers.

Dermal Fillers Glasgow surgeon, Dr Darren McKeown, says “injectable fillers one of the biggest advances in modern cosmetic medicine. They allow us to restore facial volume by means of a relatively quick and simple injection”.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers, otherwise known as facial fillers, are injected just under the skin. This procedure should always be applied by a doctor who has the ability to judge the small, controlled amounts which your face may require

Many patients choose facial fillers as they can help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, as the filler smooths the surface of your skin from underneath. The results from this procedure are almost instant and it will last for around 6-12 months.

Benefits of dermal fillers

The main benefit of dermal fillers, as mentioned, is that they help to smooth the contours, making your face appear fuller and younger looking.

For years’ patients struggle with wrinkled skin, using product after product which makes false promises.

Dermal fillers work immediately, which is something a lotion cannot do. They give patients, youthful, plump skin, which may only need to be maintained once a year! Saving a lot of time which is spent using products which are not guaranteed to work.
