Did you know that many visible signs of aging can be attributed to volume loss? As the facial tissues become thinner, lines around the nose and mouth become more evident and the cheeks appear slightly hollow. Dermal fillers can be used to replace lost volume, thus smoothing wrinkles, plumping lips and restoring a more youthful appearance.
How to Apply Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are injectable fillers commonly used for skin rejuvenation and to treat volume loss. Dermal filler application usually includes these steps:
Consultation and Evaluation: First, a consultation is held with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. The specialist evaluates the patient’s needs and goals, determines which areas need to be treated with filler, and decides which filler to use.
Determination of Points: The areas where dermal filler application will be applied are determined and marked. This step is important for the filler to give the best results and helps the specialist determine the correct injection points.
Anesthesia: Depending on the application site, especially sensitive or painful areas, a mild local anesthetic cream or injection may be applied. This is done to increase the patient’s comfort.
Injection: Dermal filler is injected into designated areas with the help of a thin needle or cannula. The specialist uses precise injection techniques to properly distribute the filling material under the tissue.
Shaping and Massage: After the filler is applied, the specialist may sometimes gently massage the application area to shape it and make the filler look natural.
Final Touches and Evaluation: After the application is completed, final touches are made and the results are evaluated. It is checked whether the patient is satisfied and whether the desired results are achieved.
For what purpose is Dermal Filling Applied?
Dermal fillers can be applied for a variety of cosmetic purposes and are often used to correct or improve aesthetic problems in specific areas of the face. These purposes include filling wrinkles, compensating for volume loss, plumping lips, removing acne scars, highlighting cheekbones and correcting under-eye bags. Dermal fillers consist of natural or synthetic substances such as hyaluronic acid and are usually applied by injection. Following application, noticeable results can be achieved immediately and usually require minimal recovery time. However, since everyone’s skin structure and needs are different, it is important to consult a dermatologist or aesthetician before applying dermal fillers. The specialist can determine the treatment plan best suited to the patient’s specific goals and skin condition and perform the procedure safely.
