In addition to wrinkles, creases, and spots caused by sun damage, our skin succumbs to gravity and actually falls as we age, resulting in a sunken look. Unfortunately, what goes up must come down.
Dr. Alexis Stevens and her stellar team at Parkland Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery believe that this doesn’t have to be your face’s fate. They offer a varied menu of safe, effective procedures and treatments to keep you looking fresh-faced.
We hear from clients that a natural look is very important to them, and one of the most effective ways to get this is to use dermal fillers, a family of treatments that combats the effects of gravity and gives your face a youthful fullness.
When it comes to eating, fat can be a villain; but fat under your facial skin is a great thing. This subcutaneous fat is what keeps your skin dewy as it surrounds your features. As you experience more trips around the sun, this fat layer gets thinner and your skin wrinkles and droops.
Dermal fillers have taken the anti-aging world by storm. We consider dermal fillers to be so important because they can be used to add volume to so many different facial points:
Because every part of your face doesn’t age at exactly the same speed, dermal fillers can also help you attain a more symmetrical, even look. Dr. Stephens can treat you with such precision that if your cheeks need slightly different degrees of filler, she’s able to meet that need.
Chances are when you visit with Dr. Stephens, she’ll suggest multiple ways dermal fillers could help you look your best.
First, you can expect virtually no discomfort during the procedure and minimal, if any, side effects.
Before your treatment, we’ll numb your treatment area with topical agents. Then Dr. Stephens injects the filler under your skin, where she has determined you need it. You feel very little discomfort.
You’re good to go as soon as treatment is done. You might experience a bit of redness, swelling, or tenderness, but this abates in a couple days, and you can use makeup to conceal it until then.
After thorough research, Dr. Stephens has chosen to offer three highly respected, FDA-approved dermal fillers:
Each has their particular uses and advantages, and all contain hyaluronic acid, a soft substance that’s made in your body and retains water exceptionally well.
Ravanesse Versa works particularly well as a wrinkle filler, Restylane is especially effective at volumizing cheeks, lips and hands, and Dr. Stephens favors Juvederm for effectively treating facial contour issues and sagging.
Aside from being safe, effective, and wonderfully subtle, you’ll love dermal fillers because they’re:
Dermal fillers are also highly favored by Dr. Stephens and our patients because they produce unusually natural and lasting results. When you receive dermal filler treatment, you can expect results to last up to a year or more.
