What are dermal fillers? Smooth fine lines on your lunch break

Dermal fillers are a quick, minimally invasive way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or add volume to an area of the face. There are many different types; some are made of synthetic material, and others are made from substances that the body itself produces.

Here are some quick facts about dermal fillers:

  • Can be used on nearly any area of the face
  • Popular target areas are crow’s feet, laugh lines, and thin lips
  • A range of options to choose from that last for different durations

Perfect for those with a full schedule, dermal fillers are viscous substances injected beneath the surface of the skin and differ from BOTOX as they do not affect muscle movement. Patients select dermal fillers when they want a natural-looking, youthful appearance with as little downtime as possible.

Dermal fillers for men

Dr. Markelov knows how much a man’s image can impact his social life and his romantic relationships. Having a more refreshed, youthful appearance at work could even mean a promotion. Dermal fillers can:

  • Increase self-confidence, especially for socializing 
  • Subtly take years off the face
  • Add definition to the jawline
  • Minimize a double-chin

A man’s facial structure and musculature differ from that of a woman and require a different skill set. Dr. Markelov specializes in cosmetic procedures for men, and he works closely with each patient to determine which filler would best meet his needs.

What's recovery like after dermal fillers?

Patients require no downtime after dermal fillers, making the treatment extremely convenient. Some may experience the following:

  • Mild soreness or discomfort
  • Mild redness, swelling, or bruising

AM Plastic Surgery may recommend that patients ice the area and avoid exercise or excessive heat for a day or two. Dr. Markelov gives each patient detailed aftercare instructions that are specific to what their body needs.
