What are Lip Fillers and Face Fillers?
Lip and face fillers are injectable substances containing hyaluronic acid and other beneficial substances for the skin. They are designed to minimize the early signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of facial volume.
What Lip and Face Fillers Can Do for You
Aging causes your skin to lose moisture, elasticity, and volume. Fine lines and wrinkles form around the lines of expression, and volume loss causes facial sagging. Lip and face fillers work to “fill in” fine lines and wrinkles, helping skin appear smoother and free of wrinkles. Fillers restore lost volume, plumping your skin and minimizing sagging to help you look younger.
Types of Lip and Face Fillers and Their Benefits
You can choose from several types of lip and face fillers, including:
Juvederm, recommended for:
- Crow’s feet–the lines radiating from the corners of your eyes
- Glabella–the deep creases between your eyebrows
- Furrows–the lines running across your forehead
Juvederm Voluma XC, recommended for:
- Restoring volume to your cheeks
- Improving the contours of the middle of your face
What to Expect During Lip and Face Filler Treatment
At your filler appointment, your dermatologist or aesthetician inject small amounts of filler material just underneath the skin. Most people tolerate filler injections well; you can ask for a numbing spray before the injections.
Why Lip and Face Fillers are so Popular
