How Aging Affects Your Skin
As we age, our skin and dermal layers experience a change and a reduction in its ability to produce elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. Collagen and elastin are proteins interwoven into the dermis to help support the skin’s structure. They help to keep our skin maintain its tightness and firmness. Hyaluronic acid is an important feature that helps our skin to maintain moisturize by attracting water molecules. This also provides added volume retention to the skin creating a full and youthful look.
As we experience a change in our elastins, collagen and hyaluronic acid, the quality and youthful glow of our skin changes. Eventually, we begin to notice our skin starts to sag, causing the creation of wrinkles and hollowed areas around the face, leading to an overall weathered or tired look.
The Benefits of Dermal Filler Injections
Dermal fillers and Fat Grafting for Facial Rejuvenation, are often used to correct the problems associated with this form of aging without significant downtown. Dermal fillers replace soft-tissue volume loss and fill out hollowed areas of the face. This process helps to diminish the presence of wrinkles at rest. Dermal fillers can be used to reduce the appearance of:
- Wrinkles
- Lines
- Mild facial sagging
- Hollowed cheeks
- Nasolabial folds
- Smile lines
Today, many of the Dermal Fillers available to our patients contain Hyaluronic acid. This is a natural substance that is found in our bodies. High concentrations are found in soft connective tissue, cartilage, joint fluids, and skin.
