Look Your Best for the Holidays: 3 Ways We Use Fillers to Rejuvenate Your Face

Every year in the United States, millions of people turn to dermal fillers to transform their appearance without undergoing more invasive procedures. In addition to being versatile, fillers are also extremely convenient, requiring just a single office visit and no downtime afterward.

With the holidays right around the corner, a filler treatment could be just what you need to look your best and feel more confident, too. Here, E. Jacob Simhaee, MD, FACOG, and his team showcase three ways we use dermal fillers to help our patients achieve their unique and personal goals.

1. Smoothing lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are among the earliest signs of aging, primarily due to years of sun exposure and natural age-related changes in our skin. As we age, our skin undergoes a significant decline in collagen and elastin, two proteins that help maintain its smoothness and firmness. Sun exposure breaks down protein fibers, too, and before you know it, lines and wrinkles start to creep in.

Dermal fillers use special formulations to help smooth out lines and wrinkles, helping you look younger and less stressed. In addition to an immediate improvement in your appearance, fillers can also stimulate collagen and elastin production for long-term benefits, and some fillers are designed to attract and retain moisture, making the skin look plumper as well.

Plus, filler application is precise, allowing us to target only the areas that matter most to you. The results are subtle yet effective, leaving you looking refreshed and rejuvenated without looking stiff or unnatural.

2. Adding volume

Restoring lost volume is another well-known — and well-loved — benefit of filler treatment. As we get older, we naturally lose some of the volume that supports our facial structure. The result: sagging, flat cheeks, and hollows under the eyes that make us look tired and worn out.

Dermal fillers help replenish lost volume, restoring your more youthful contours and making you look more vibrant and energized. Once again, precise placement and a wide array of filler options can help you achieve the individual results you’re looking for without making you look artificial or unnatural.

By enhancing your natural contours, fillers can help balance facial proportions even if your face is naturally thin. In fact, carefully placed filler can make a surprisingly big difference in the midface area, where even minor adjustments provide a refreshed, natural look. 

3. Providing a gentle lift

Many people know fillers do a great job of addressing and “undoing” the effects of lines, wrinkles, and lost volume. But what many don’t realize is that properly placed fillers can actually help “lift” your facial features — without surgery.

Why do we need a lift? Because as we get older, collagen and elastin fibers weaken and skin starts to sag — an effect that’s especially noticeable around the mouth, jowls, and eye area. Fillers help correct this effect by restoring volume under your skin — a volume that helps gently lift the overlying skin, allowing features to resume a more youthful position.

Many women and men use fillers to add subtle dimension to the cheek area, naturally elevating the area around the mouth, chin, and jowls. This subtle repositioning restores balance to your features, maintaining a natural and relaxed appearance.
