At Borealis Medspa, dermal fillers are injected by our expert Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, and Registered Nurses. When it comes to dermal fillers, artistic approach, injection technique and knowledge of the anatomy of the faces are critical for safe and natural results. Which is why we are always focusing on furthering our education here at Borealis MedSpa.
At Borealis Medspa, we use a wide variety of dermal filler brands and types depending on the area of interest for treatment.
What are dermal fillers?
Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are then working closer to the skin surface, so smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity and lifestyle.
What dermal fillers can do:
- Plump thin lips
- Enhance shallow contours
- Soften facial creases and wrinkles
- Improve the appearance of recessed scars
- Reconstruct contour deformities in the face
- Decrease or remove the shadow of the lower lids
Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of aging. Dermal fillers procedures have become more and more popular to treat and restore different areas of the face including cheeks, chin, lip, and jawline.
What dermal fillers can't do:
For some patients, surgery such as a facelift, brow lift or eye lift may be the best approach. Minimally invasive rejuvenation treatments, such as soft tissue fillers, cannot achieve the same results, but may help delay the time when consideration of a facelift becomes appropriate. It is important to remember that dermal fillers are temporary treatments for facial aging and that ongoing treatments will be needed for long-term results.
