How aging affects your skin

Aging is a natural process that affects virtually every part of your body and appearance, your skin included.

Over time, your body produces less collagen and elastin, both of which promote a smooth, supple complexion. Your skin also becomes more prone to roughness, bruising, and tearing with increasing age.

Your lifestyle plays a role in skin aging, too, especially when particular habits go on for years or decades. Smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, and spending time in tanning beds or in the sun without ultraviolet (UV) protection, for example, accelerate fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

How dermal fillers help

Dermal fillers contain biocompatible substances that add volume to loose and shallow skin. These substances, such as hyaluronic acid and polylactic acid, can also improve the contours of your face, leading to a more vibrant and youthful appearance.

In most cases, filler results are immediate upon injection and stay prominent for 6-12 months. They may even last longer, depending on the filler type and how your skin responds.

Because Sculptra injections work a bit differently by prompting collagen production, you may need 2-3 sessions over two months to reach your full desired results. Still, some benefits may be visible within one day.

What to expect from your first filler appointment

Your dermal filler treatment begins with a consultation with one of our skin experts, who recommend a treatment plan based on your goals and the state of your skin. From there, your provider places the injections.

Most people tolerate the brief pinching sensation well, and most fillers contain a numbing agent to stave off discomfort. That said, you’re welcome to request an ice pack or topical numbing cream if you’re concerned about pain.

Once your injections are complete, you can get back to your usual daily activities. Any side effects, such as redness and swelling, tend to be mild and temporary.
