Dermal fillers have become very popular as a solution for filling out wrinkles and creating luscious, voluminous lips. In 2019, around 4.3 million people chose hyaluronic acid dermal fillers, which is a 15.7 percent increase since the previous years. Those numbers were on the rise in the following years, as more and more individuals discovered the benefits of dermal fillers.

At this point, we know that dermal fillers can add more volume in the specific targeted areas of the face, but what are some other benefits that these fillers have for your skin? Let’s find out!

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments approved by the FDA that are used to plump and smooth your skin while also reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by smoothing the skin. These facial fillers are often made with hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the body. Other substances can be used as well, most of which are also naturally occurring and eventually absorbed by the body.

Regardless of their type, dermal fillers trigger collagen synthesis, which offers a gradual improvement in your appearance. While the gel in the dermal filler will offer an immediate effect, the active substance will trigger collagen production and improve volume within two weeks after the treatment. 

Top Benefits of Dermal Fillers

Here is why most people choose to get dermal fillers:

• Scar Reduction

Maybe you had acne breakouts when you were younger or get the occasional breakout due to hormonal changes that have left you with some acne scarring that you feel self-conscious about. Dermal fillers are a great way to reduce the appearance of acne scarring. By triggering hyaluronic acid production, dermal fillers can reduce the size of the pit, making the scar less visible. 

• Skin Smoothing

Dermal fillers are often made from hyaluronic acid, a substance that occurs naturally in the moisture barrier of your skin. This compound can bond with water, holding it in your skin. Through dermal fillers, the substance will disperse the water in the right places, smoothing and plumping up the treated areas, making it look brighter, youthful, and hydrated.

• Hand Rejuvenation

Your face is not the only area of your body that can suffer from volume loss – your hands can show your age just as well. Dermal fillers can help restore the lost volume in your hands, camouflaging the tendons and veins and making you look more youthful overall.

• Eyebrow Lifting

The older you get, the more your skin begins to lose its tautness and elasticity. This may cause the skin above your eyes to become loose, creating the impression of sinking brows. Dermal fillers can add more support and volume to your eyebrows, giving you a lift effect without having to rely on surgery. 

• Under-Eye Bag Reduction

It may seem counterintuitive to correct under-eye puffiness with dermal fillers, but the technique works. Your under-eye bags often stand out simply because you have a dark hollow between your cheeks and your eyes. By injecting dermal fillers into those hollows, you correct the color and sunken area, making your eye bags less visible. This can help you look more youthful and well-rested. 

• Jawline and Nose Reshaping

Whether you want a smoother jawline or a more defined nose, dermal fillers can help with that. Men looking for a more chiseled jawline can also use dermal fillers for a sharp contour. By adding a small amount of filler, you can get a facial reconstruction without the associated downtime of surgery.
