Will Dermal Fillers Age My Face After They Wear Off?

Dermal fillers are a popular cosmetic injection procedure provided by physician's associate Lynn Perlenfein at Allure Medical Spa that can help reduce the signs of aging and enhance facial features. However, many individuals wonder if these fillers will age their faces once they wear off. Let's discuss this concern and explore the facts surrounding dermal fillers as an anti-aging treatment at Allure Medical Spa in Gillette, WY.

What are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM®, are injectable substances that are used to add volume, smooth out wrinkles and lines, and enhance facial contours. They are made of different materials, such as hyaluronic acid, collagen, and calcium hydroxyapatite, and have different effects on the skin. Dermal fillers are a temporary solution to aging, and they typically last between 6 – 24 months, depending on the type of filler used and the area treated.

Do dermal fillers age your face once they wear off?

No, dermal fillers do not age your face once they wear off. In fact, the opposite is true. Dermal fillers can help stimulate collagen production in the skin, which is essential for maintaining its elasticity and youthful appearance. As the filler gradually dissolves, the skin's natural collagen production increases, helping to maintain the dermal filler results even after the filler is gone.

Are there any side effects of dermal fillers?

Like any medical procedure, dermal fillers may cause some side effects. These can include swelling, bruising, redness, and tenderness at the injection site. However, these side effects are usually mild and temporary and should resolve within a few days. More severe side effects, such as infection or allergic reactions, can occur in rare cases. You should discuss any concerns with your provider before undergoing treatment.

What can I expect during a dermal filler treatment?

During your dermal filler treatment at Allure Medical Spa, Lynn will first assess your concerns and goals to determine your best treatment plan. The treatment itself is relatively quick and typically takes between 15 – 30 minutes. The filler is injected into the targeted areas using a very fine needle or cannula, and the results are immediate. After the treatment, you can return to your daily activities with minimal downtime.
