Dermal Fillers: Enhancing Volume and Smoothing Wrinkles in the Face

Dermatologists, aestheticians, and their patients are eager to explore non-invasive solutions to improving the way the skin looks and feels. One option, which has been around for over a century in one form or another, is called a dermal filler. If you want better-looking, younger, more voluminous skin, dermal fillers can help. The team at Tulsa Hills Cosmetic & Laser Skin Center in Tulsa, OK, offers this in-demand skin solution for wrinkles.

What Causes Facial Wrinkles?

Wrinkles are caused by muscle contractions that occur beneath the skin’s surface. Over time, the contractions create lines or depressions in the skin that can get deeper and more permanent over time. Also, with age, the face can lose some of its natural volume and become less elastic. Wrinkles can also be caused by too much exposure to the sun, stress, or poor diet. They most commonly form around the mouth, the eyes, and the forehead.

Dermal Fillers Help Smooth Wrinkles In the Skin

One way to fix wrinkles is to fill them with a substance called a dermal filler, also called an injectable facial filler. Dermal fillers are gels made of both natural and synthetic substances depending on the specific product. Common fillers include Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse, and Sculptra. Your Tulsa, OK, skin specialist will inject the solution at various targeted sites to fill in wrinkles and smooth out the skin. Some formulations help stimulate natural collagen production.

What To Expect at Your Appointment

An appointment for dermal fillers will usually take about 30 minutes to an hour depending on the desired treatment area. You will consult the aesthetician about your skin goals and decide on the specific type of filler. The specialist will mark your skin, numb the targeted area, and begin administering injections. While results may show immediately following the appointment, allow a few weeks to see the full effect of dermal fillers.
