Get Rid Of Wrinkles & Fine Lines With Fillers In Springfield

Aging is an unavoidable process that does not seem to skip anybody at all! With age, various changes can be observed in the physical appearance as one loses the previous elasticity and firmness of the skin.

As facial tissues start thinning, one can observe the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles which affects the youthful appearance. This can be a cause of psychological distress for many as one’s facial features may start to appear aged and hollow. Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa does not have the magic cure to stop aging completely but we do have treatments that can at least press the pause button for our patients!

Being Board Certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), Dr. Balvant Arora understands this issue very well and presents a solution before us that helps to smoothen and add volume to the face: Dermal Fillers.

What Are The Types Of Dermal Fillers?

Various dermal fillers are FDA-approved. Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa uses only US-FDA-approved dermal fillers.

Here is a list of a few of the most commonly used dermal fillers:

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

This is a naturally occurring substance in the body and hence there are no risks involved in HA fillers. HA fillers are soft, gel-like substances that generally last for about 6 to 12 months before slowly and naturally being absorbed by the body.

FDA-approved HA products include Juvederm products and Restylane products.

Juvederm: Juvederm is a brand of dermal filler with a base of hyaluronic acid. In the US, it is one of the most commonly used non-surgical methods to plump up your face. It specifically targets the cheeks, lips, and smile lines around the mouth.

There are various types of Juvederm products. Each has a different quantity, quality, and concentration of hyaluronic acid which is used for different purposes:

• Juvederm Voluma helps in restoring volume beneath the skin and gives a plumper appearance.
• Juvederm Ultra Plus XC helps restore the loss of elasticity and fills out wrinkles.

Juvederm works excellently in the case of lip enhancement and correcting under-eye bags.

Restylane: Restylane is another brand of dermal fillers with a base of hyaluronic acid. Just like Juvederm, Restylane also has various products that target different issues and problem areas:

• Restylane Silk is used mostly for lip augmentation and wrinkles around the mouth.
• Restylane Lyft is used for cheek augmentation and enhancement of the contours of the face.
• Restylane is primarily used for wrinkles and fine lines, and even dark circles around the eyes.
• Restylane Refyne gets rid of the wrinkles from the corner of the mouth to the nose.

Restylane overall works great for smoothing the wrinkles around the mouth and the nose.

As both Juvederm and Restylane have a base of naturally occurring hyaluronic acid, they are both very safe and effective fillers that bring about the smooth, plump, and youthful appearance that one wishes for.

Calcium Hydroxylapatite (CaHa)

CaHa is a naturally occurring substance in the bones. In this particular filler, minuscule calcium particles are suspended in a thick gel. The consistency as well as the lasting power of CaHa is more than that of HA. CaHa also helps in naturally stimulating collagen production. CaHa is generally used for deeper lines and wrinkles.

Radiesse is an FDA-approved CaHa filler. Upon injection, Radiesse Volumizing Filler immediately provides the volume and lift needed to diminish the signs of aging because of the calcium-based microspheres and gel that comprise the product. But what’s unique about Radiesse Volumizing Filler is that it acts as a scaffold under the skin, providing structure and stimulating your own natural collagen to grow. This process continues for several months, which extends the initial effect of Radiesse Volumizing Filler. Best of all, the natural results are clinically proven to last a year or more in many patients.

Poly-L-lactic Acid

Poly-L-lactic acid is a biocompatible, biodegradable, synthetic substance. Biocompatible means that this filler will not have an adverse effect on the body when injected. Poly-L-lactic is a collagen stimulator and has a long-lasting effect. It can show its effect for about 2 years.

Sculptra is an FDA-approved Poly-L-lactic filler.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)

PMMA is a synthetic and biocompatible filler, which when injected takes the form of a tiny ball or microsphere. The unique microspheres are not absorbed by your body and work with your skin to produce collagen which provides the support, your skin needs for natural, long-lasting results. It is a semi-permanent filler as it remains beneath the skin giving it a definite shape and smoother appearance. It also contains collagen which helps for a youthful look. Bellafill (previously Artefill) is an FDA-approved PMMA.

Autologous Fat Injection (Fat Grafting)

In this case, fat is harvested from other parts of the body which tend to have excess fat, like the flanks, buttocks, thighs, etc., mostly through liposuction. This fat is then processed and injected into the problem areas of the face like cheeks, chin, beneath the lower eyelid, etc.

It is very necessary to have a consultation with Dr. Balvant Arora before opting for the process to decide on the ideal type of filler according to the facial structure and your needs.

What To Expect At The Consultation For Dermal Fillers Treatment?

During the first visit, Dr. Balvant Arora , Board Certified Plastic Surgeon will obtain detailed medical history and history of any facial treatment taken so far. Medical and surgical treatment options will be discussed. If you are the right candidate for fillers, the process will be explained.

Consultation is an important factor when it comes to dermal fillers. Understanding the facial structure and the patient’s desire is also very important. At our clinic, Dr. Balvant Arora takes utmost care to cater to the patient’s requirements.

What Is The Cost Of Dermal Fillers Treatment In Springfield?

The cost of dermal fillers can vary depending on several factors, including the type of filler used, the quality of the filler, the brand of filler, the number of injectable fillers used, the number of sessions needed, and touch-up sessions. When you visit Dr. Balvant Arora for a dermal fillers consultation, he will take the time to explain all of the contributing factors to the cost of your treatment.
