What is wrong with using filler long term?
Nothing. And everything. The difference lies in the result that you’re looking for.
Dermal filler offers the ability to complement your features and restore or provide volume to a face that feels deflated as we age. This is a financially💰 affordable option compared to surgical alternatives. However, at some point in the aging spectrum, dermal filler may not be able to receive the reversal of sagging skin, like a facelift.
Moreover, some individuals are not candidates for dermal filler. For example, those with festoons or malar edema under their eyes are not suited for under filler. This is going to attract water and make the problem worse. 🚫
With all of that said… filler is a great option for so many of us! As smaller aging changes are happening, we are younger in our lives and less in need of surgical intervention. Even if we desired surgical intervention, it is not financially, ethically, or practically reasonable to have surgery for every minor aesthetic concern.
The beauty industry globally 🌎 is changing. A more subtle, natural look is here and we are here for it. This minimalist approach highlights the importance of the basics. Radiant skin, hydrated skin and tissue, and maintaining proportions.
Filler is still being used everyday, more than ever. We are just using it differently. Gone are the days where cheeks are overpowering the face and lips are touching the nose. Thank God! 👏🏻
Time always teaches and heals ⏰. We have learned over generations that treating the face as a whole using dermal filler (facial balancing, 8 point lift) provides a more natural result than treating areas in isolation. You know that you’ve seen the lady with big lips 👄 yet the rest of her face looks dull. It's a striking giveaway that those lips don’t match her natural anatomy. It's giving “fake” if we are still using those terms. In reality, your sister, your aunt, and your brother in law have probably gotten dermal filler and you don’t know it because it suits their anatomy. It blends in with their natural features. It enhances them as opposed to having isolated features dominate the face.
Bottom line. Hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are not going anywhere but injection techniques are always improving.
What other innovative are here and coming with dermal filler?
- Biostimulators like Radiesse and Sculptra. Radiesse is clinically proven to stimulate new collagen and elastin. It can provide immediate volume correction alike dermal fillers but also improves skin thickness, texture, and quality. The best part, the results are long term. We’re seeing more and more people reach their goal with dermal filler and then improve and maintain their results with Radiesse.
- Facial Balancing (sometimes referred to as the 8 point lift).
- Sun protection ☀️. It's not new but anyone over 35 knows… you did not appreciate this enough. Gen Z and most millennials are aging like fine wine. The correlation is in the sunscreen🧴. Focus on zinc and high SPF. IF you have a non-believer friend to compare with, thank us later. 😉
- Maintenance plan. Don’t believe that a procedure is one and done. We’re aging. Protect your investment. Use medical-grade skin care, this is like brushing your teeth when you’re not at the dentist 🦷. Consider Radiofrequency-microneedling or Radiesse as maintenance procedures. This is like insurance. Sometimes we don’t want to do anything and maybe you’ll be happy that way but if you aren’t or want to have more protection, maintain.
With new techniques and a shift in how we approach facial aesthetics, the future of filler treatments is bright🌟. Whether you’re curious about fillers or considering alternative treatments like Radiesse, we offer a variety of options to help you achieve a look that’s both natural and tailored to your individual goals.
