What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
Fighting the unwanted signs of aging can be done in various ways. Reducing sun exposure, drinking plenty of water, and living an active lifestyle can help. But what happens when the skin becomes more relaxed and fine lines and wrinkles form on the face? The experienced providers at The L.A.B. Med Spa of Southlake, Texas, can help you combat the formation of imperfections on the skin to maintain a youthful appearance—without plastic surgery! Instead, our team can talk to you about the benefits of dermal fillers or cosmetic injectables geared towards smoothing away fine lines and wrinkles!
What is a Dermal Filler?
Dermal fillers are unique gel-like substances injected underneath the skin to add volume and fullness. This can help to smooth away wrinkles, fine lines, and other imperfections on the skin’s surface. Each dermal filler is composed of different materials. The type of filler right for you will depend on your individual needs and goals.
What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers offer several benefits for those looking to achieve a more youthful appearance. Injectable fillers can:
- Add volume to the skin
- Fill in fine lines and wrinkles
- Plump up the lips
- Enhance the cheeks
- Improve the appearance of scars
- Help to restore a youthful facial appearance
What are the Options for Dermal Fillers?
The most popular types include:
- Juvéderm: This is a smooth gel filler made from hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a substance naturally occurring in the skin, making it practical and safe for use. Juvéderm can be used to add volume to the lips, fill in fine lines and wrinkles, and enhance the cheeks.
- Restylane and Versa: Restylane and Versa is another type of hyaluronic acid filler. It is effective in filling in wrinkles and adding volume to the lips.
- Radiesse: Radiesse is a special dermal filler made from calcium hydroxyapatite. This substance occurs naturally in the body, making it a safe option for those looking for an alternative to hyaluronic acid fillers. Radiesse is often used to add volume to the cheeks and fill in deep wrinkles.
- Sculptra: Sculptra is a cosmetic injectable made from poly-L-lactic acid. This synthetic material helps to stimulate the production of collagen in the skin. Sculptra can add volume to the cheeks and fill in deep wrinkles.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?
The results of cosmetic dermal fillers are not permanent. The length of time you will see results will depend on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers will usually last between 6 and 24 months, while calcium hydroxyapatite fillers can last up to 2 years. Sculptra results are not immediate but can last up to 2 years as well.
