How to erase the signs of aging with dermal fillers
Do you need to restore facial volume loss that has occurred over time? Do you want a treatment for facial lines and wrinkles that have developed with collagen and elastin loss? At Cassie Lane Aesthetics, we believe patients should maintain their youthful looks over time without the need for plastic surgery. If you are looking for solutions to restore facial fullness and smooth wrinkles and folds, dermal fillers might suit you. Richmond, Virginia, area patients seeking non-surgical options for increasing volume in the cheeks and lips may also want to ask our team about dermal fillers.
What are dermal fillers?
Cassie Lane is an Nurse Practitioner who injects dermal fillers like hyaluronic acid injectable gels that are created to immediately restore volume and smooth lines for several months before reinjection is needed
What areas can dermal fillers address?
Many areas of the face can be improved with the help of our line of quality dermal fillers available at Cassie Lane Aesthetics. The injections can be used to restore facial volume, treat facial lines, improve facial fullness, and add volume in places such as the lips, cheeks, and nose. Additionally, some patients might even use injectables such as Juvéderm to address volume loss in the hands, which can often give away a patient’s age as well!
What other types of injections might I consider for the treatment of facial lines?
In addition to Juvéderm and other popular dermal fillers used at Cassie Lane Aesthetics, patients can also ask about other injectable treatments, including MERZ and RHA fillers or even neuromodulators such as Botox, Xeomin, Dysport, and Jeuveau. Combining many of these cosmetic injectables can provide a complete “liquid facelift” with dramatic results.
The consultation for fillers, we have the patients point to us, what areas are bothering them, what they’re seeing in the mirror, and then we explain the aging process and why that is happening and what is the best way to go about treating that. And I think we often catch patients by surprise that we’re not putting product in the area that’s particularly what they’re seeing, but more in the area that’s going to actually fix and address the symptom. So a lot of education and also trying to meet them where they’re at and what they want that outcome to be so that we’re on the same page. Going forward, I’ll say I often do see a clinical result past the indication. If we said a year, it can go past that. So not as much upkeep as something like Botox. First of all, we carry a wide variety of the products from all of the best manufacturers in the industry. This helps us to match the product to the patient and match the product to the anticipated outcome.
Thinner products, thicker products. We carry hyaluronic acid-based products, which I think is what most people are familiar with. We also carry products that are called Biostimulators, Sculptra, and Radius. They help to get production of collagen and elastin up, which is crucial for the integrity and the health of the skin. So we use them for the face, putting back where volume is lost. Fine lines you can anticipate areas like the cheek, the jawline, the chin, the lip, small fine lines around the mouth, or some of these fine lines we start to see on the cheek from changes in the skin with time.
Why we love dermal fillers
Dermal fillers are great to correct fine lines, wrinkles and volume loss to the face. We can bring harmony to the overall look of your face while drawing the attention to all your best features and minimizing ones you don’t love. Fillers are all about how the light hits your face and contour. While Botox treatments are better at preventing lines and wrinkles fillers are better at correcting them. Dermal filler results are immediate and last one to two years, where you have to wait 2 weeks for full results with Botox and results last three months.
