Are you dealing with the appearance of lines and wrinkles on your face that have you looking older than your actual age? These common signs of aging can be effectively addressed using a simple treatment with facial fillers. These products have been found to fill in lines and wrinkles by increasing skin thickness from beneath the surface of the skin. This pushes out finer lines and wrinkles to create a smoother skin appearance and texture.
Causes of Skin Aging
Before looking more closely at facial fillers, it may be helpful to understand why skin ages in the first place. One of the chief causes of skin aging is the thinning of skin due to the age-related loss of substances like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and subcutaneous fat.
Hyaluronic acid is a substance that your own body produces in great amounts when you are young. Unfortunately, getting older leads to a loss of hyaluronic acid production and the subsequent thinning and drying of the skin, which leaves you more vulnerable to the development of lines and wrinkles.
Collagen has a similar role as hyaluronic acid in the skin. It creates a lattice or structure for youthful skin cells to build around. Its age-related loss eventually leads to thinner skin and the formation of wrinkles.
Facial Fillers to the Rescue!
Age-related deficiencies can be addressed through the injection of a facial filler. If your skin has become noticeably thin and dry, a hyaluronic acid-based filler can likely benefit you. The filler goes to work immediately to help reverse the thinning and drying process that leads to the formation of lines and wrinkles.
Facial fillers are appropriate for those who need increased skin hydration and thickness. Some people benefit from hyaluronic acid oral supplements, but nothing can beat an injection for great results.
One of the greatest appeals of facial fillers is their ability to minimize lines and wrinkles almost immediately. At some point, you will require touch-ups to maintain your increased skin thickness. This is because the product will be gradually metabolized by your body.
