Though dermal fillers provide a simple, non-invasive solution to the common signs of aging in the face—sagging skin, wrinkles, and thinning lips—they should still be used with the same caution you would have for any cosmetic procedure. Only a licensed practitioner should provide dermal fillers, and you should be wary of any deals that sound too good to be true. Just recently, a man was arrested in the Phoenix area for providing med spa services without a medical license and offering deals for these services on Groupon. Instead of trying to find a deal on your dermal filler treatment and shopping by price alone, you should seek the care of a licensed, qualified licensed, qualified and experienced practitioner to save yourself from the potentially lifelong consequences of botched dermal filler treatment. Your provide will also provide you with personalized recommendations to help you choose the right filler for your skin type and needs. Below you can get a quick look at some of the general guidelines for selecting a dermal filler for your cosmetic concerns.
Which area of the face are you targeting?
Dermal fillers like Juvederm come in many varieties to target different areas of the face. Juvederm Voluma XC can correct sagging skin and weak cheek bones by enhancing the cheek area with added volume. Alternatively, those seeking treatment for laugh lines and facial folds may consider Juvederm Vollure XC. If thin lips are your concern, your doctor may recommend Juvederm Volbella XC.
How severe are your facial wrinkles?
In addition to various formulas for different parts of the face, there are different molecule sizes featured in facial fillers to account for varying degrees of severity in fine lines and wrinkles. If you have only small lines and you are proactively looking to correct these before they become more substantial, a smaller molecule filler will be most effective. Deeper wrinkles, however, will not respond to this type of treatment.
