As we age, our skin begins to change and sag, developing fine lines, skin folds, and wrinkles. A youthful face has full, firm, soft skin. How can this be achieved once wrinkles and sags have set in and the skin has begun to age? This is where dermal fillers in Austin at B+A Medical Aesthetics come in.

Dermal fillers, or injections, are safe, non-invasive, and immediate. Dermal fillers inject and replenish substances that have been depleted. These depleted substances are what caused the face to age. A dermal filler procedure helps to reverse this, and hydrates and fills, softens, and beautifies the skin from the inside, leaving your face youthful and fresh.

What are dermal fillers?

Wrinkles, folds and creases, lines, and loss of volume appear when the body’s natural supplies of key substances diminish. Some of these substances are collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The structure of the face weakens, causing the wrinkles, hollows, and lines to set in. If you're noticing that your face looks older or tired, dermal fillers will help to give you back your fresh, youthful face.

These substances are injected, and the aging process is reversed, allowing you to look the way you want to--young and revitalized. Dermal fillers in Austin are done with tiny needles, allowing patients to experience little to no discomfort. The procedure is quick and immediately noticeable. Patients can stop in for a dermal filler and leave shortly afterward with years off their face, and glowing, renewed skin.

Are Dermal Fillers Right for You?

Dermal fillers are for anyone who is looking to temporarily reverse the signs of aging or improve facial balance. Patients who aren’t ready for plastic surgery, but want to feel more confident and look younger are excellent candidates for dermal fillers in Cedar Park at B+A Medical Aesthetics. Our team will meet with you for a private consultation to discuss your goals, ideals, and treatment options. Clients can choose a course of action, and then enjoy the quick treatment time, painless procedure, and the immediate youthful and rejuvenated results.

What are the benefits of dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are safe and FDA-approved. They are injected with a tiny needle, so the procedure is virtually painless, leaving no scarring. Because they are non-surgical, there is no anesthesia and little downtime.

In a procedure that takes less than thirty minutes, dermal fillers can help replace lost facial volume, fill in scars and depressions, correct lines, wrinkles, and folds, and rejuvenate your skin, leaving you looking years younger, naturally.

The self-confidence clients feel after seeing their youthful appearance in the mirror again says it all, and these results can last up to two years.

Dermal Fillers Before & After

Dermal Fillers at B+A Medical Aesthetics

Juvéderm

Juvéderm is an effective choice that is popular among clients who want to treat wrinkles, creases and lost facial volume. Juvéderm includes a collection of hyaluronic acid-based dermal fillers that can reverse many common signs of aging. The results provide clients with beautiful skin and a younger face.

Restylane

Using a variety of formulas, Restylane targets different problem areas, providing an instant boost to your face. Restylane smooths lines and wrinkles and can enhance your lips or bring volume to cheeks. Treatments require short recovery time, and the full results will appear within a week or less.

Radiesse

In addition to smoothing deep grooves and creases in the skin, Radiesse helps your body by stimulating natural collagen production. This creates results that often last as long as two years. Radiesse is especially effective at resolving deep folds and wrinkles, but it is also an excellent filler to restore lost volume in the cheeks.

Belotero Balance

This dermal filler is hyaluronic acid-based and designed to smoothly integrate into your skin, where it targets fine lines. It is also used to address areas that other filters can’t resolve, such as smoothing stubborn, deep lines and wrinkles.

Sculptra

This injectable is known for its long-lasting, natural-looking results. Sculptra is a top performer that can address deep wrinkles and folds, and also resolve the loss of volume. Sculptra is one of the most popular dermal fillers in Austin at B+A Medical Aesthetics due to the natural, beautiful results our technicians achieve with it.

What happens during my consultation?

Your consultation is a time for you to get to know our providers and for you to voice any questions or concerns about your treatment. Our practitioners will review your medical and surgical history, conduct skin analysis, and create a treatment plan that addresses your wishes for improvement. We will discuss the benefits and risks of dermal fillers and show you before and after photos related to your chosen products. Lastly, we’ll provide information on recovery and what you can expect in the weeks and months following your procedure. By empowering our patients with knowledge and education, we create a solid foundation for a successful, transformative outcome.

How can I prepare for my dermal filler treatment?

For one week before your treatment, take care to avoid blood-thinning medications such as Motrin, aspirin, ibuprofen, and Aleve. Also abstain from using St. John’s Wort, primrose oil, garlic, ginseng, Ginkgo Biloba, and Vitamin E.

Topical anti-aging products that contain Retin-A, Retinol, Retinoids, or Glycolic Acid should be halted in the days before your session. Don’t wax, tweeze, bleach, or use hair removal creams in the treatment zones. In the 24 hours prior to your appointment, abstain from alcoholic beverages.

Taking Arnica pills a few days before your dermal fillers in Austin can help minimize bruising. If you’re pregnant or nursing, or if you’re allergic to any ingredients in fillers, you may want to postpone your procedure. On the day of your treatment, come to the office with your skin cleansed and make sure you are makeup and fragrance-free.

Results from Dermal Fillers:

Dermal filler results will vary based on the unique formulations chosen. With fillers that boost and renew collagen reserves, the skin may gradually appear firmer and smoother from within over the course of several months. Other fillers may have instant results, such as a boost in volume, reduction in lines, wrinkles, and depressions, and a reshaping of the features as with a liquid rhinoplasty or chin augmentation procedure. In general, dermal fillers will enhance youthfulness and provide you with a more attractive and inviting facial expression. Treatments can be combined with other cosmetic solutions to comprehensively rewind the clock on aging and help you look and feel your absolute best.

What can I expect from my recovery?

After dermal filler injections, there is no need for downtime or recovery. Patients can quickly resume their normal activities, whether returning to school, work, or leisure activities and shopping. Minor swelling, redness, and tenderness may occur at the treatment sites. These side effects are no cause for concern, however, as they will fade swiftly. You can apply an ice pack and topical Arnica ointment to help reduce bruising, and you may take acetaminophen as needed to combat any lingering discomfort.

It’s very important that you refrain from scratching, touching, rubbing, or otherwise disturbing the treated areas once you leave the office. These activities can cause the filler to migrate, compromising your results. After lip injections, you’ll need to avoid sunbathing, saunas, tanning, hot tubs, and any other exposure to intense heat. For the first few days, stay away from alcohol and strenuous exercise.
