Dermal fillers help give the skin a fuller and younger appearance while diminishing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Many cosmetic patients want to understand more about dermal fillers, their benefits, and how long the effects will likely last. At Visione 360 in El Paso, TX, Dr. Dennis Reiter and his team will answer your questions about dermal fillers and get you started with this treatment if it's the best choice for your skin care needs.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

A dermal filler is a treatment that allows your dermatologist to reduce the signs of lines and wrinkles that make you look older using small injections into the skin. In addition to filling in unwanted lines, fillers can also help restore collagen in the skin lost due to sun damage and cellular degeneration over the years. Some of the most popular dermal fillers are made with hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite or polymethyl methacrylate. Some injectable solutions contain human fat tissue from the patient’s own body.

How Long Do Fillers Last?

After getting dermal fillers, you can reasonably expect the results to last for months or even a year before your El Paso, TX, doctor will recommend a follow-up session. You can also discuss additional cosmetic treatments with your dermatologist, such as laser resurfacing and Botox.

Additional Benefits of Dermal Fillers

In addition to the length of time that you’ll be able to enjoy your smoother skin, these are a few more benefits of dermal fillers to consider:

• The injections can help reduce the appearance of scars and recesses in the skin.
• In many cases, you can sit and relax for about 15-30 minutes during your lunch hour during your treatment and then return to work after the visit.
• No anesthesia is used (only a surface numbing agent).
• See almost immediate results.
