How Fillers Can Help You Look Younger
Your skin texture plays a bigger role in the aging process than you might realize. Even before you start to see the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles due to aging, your skin loses fullness and elasticity, more and more each year. In part, this happens due to decreased natural production of hyaluronic acid and collagen proteins in your skin.
Many people notice a gaunter or more hollowed facial appearance with age or perhaps sagging toward the lower face. With cosmetic treatment options like dermal fillers, you can restore the volume and fullness of your face. Different types of fillers let you target particular areas of aesthetic concern.
The team of cosmetic and skin care experts at Apex Dermatology, under the leadership of Karin Harp, MD, FAAD can advise you on the best course of dermal fillers to address your aesthetic goals. Here’s what Dr. Harp, Dr. Aria, Kristin Rupert PA-C, and Sherri Anderson PA-C want their new and existing patients from around the Westlake Village, California to know about the potential of dermal fillers.
Custom treatment plans for a natural look.
The multiple types of dermal fillers available to you through Apex Dermatology let you fully customize your treatment plan. Our aesthetic experts work with you to determine the right filler, or combination of fillers, for you. Based on your needs and skin qualities, we will build a plan that selects from a wealth of artistic options to achieve a natural look including:
- The Juvéderm collection of hyaluronic acid fillers, with specific products like Juvederm Ultra XC, Juvederm Ultra Plus XC, Juvederm Voluma XC, Juvederm Vollure XC, and Juvederm Volbella XC that target areas of your face like your lips, cheeks, and the area around your nose and mouth
- Belotero Balance, a hyaluronic acid filler designed to smooth the areas around your mouth and beneath your eyelids
- Radiesse, a filler containing particles of hydroxylapatite (CaHA) in a smooth gel suspension, that can stimulate your natural collagen production to fill the back of hands and reduce wrinkles and skin laxity on the body
- Restylane Refyne, a gently-formulated filler meant for lighter lines, hollows and wrinkles around your nose and mouth
- Restylane Lyft, a great option to plump your cheeks, chin, jawline and backs of hands
Could you be a candidate for fillers?
The gel-like solutions inside your dermal fillers continue to enhance your facial contours for months or even years at a time. Our dermal fillers are seen as natural by your skin and thus gradually naturally dissolve after a certain amount of time has gone by. You can use repeated, spaced-apart injections to maintain your desired results.
Most injection appointments take less than an hour. We observe carefully, treat thoughtfully and gently and check your medical history before we begin your injection, to make sure you won’t experience negative side effects. We also often use a cannula to place the filler to reduce the risk of bruising in some areas of the face or hands.
