Dermal Fillers in Providence, UT

Wrinkle fillers (or simply fillers) are often injected to replenish lost facial volume. The face can lack volume for various reasons, but age and significant weight loss are commonly to blame. This treatment works by incorporating the liquefied dermal filler under the skin to fill areas lacking volume or shape. Injectable fillers are an excellent, nonsurgical option for Providence, UT individuals wanting to even out sagging skin, wrinkles, and fine lines to create a younger-looking face. They can also be incorporated into other cosmetic services to provide the benefits of a facelift without surgery, the presence of scars, and the required downtime. There are a variety of fillers that can help meet the expectations and goals of each patient. To determine which injectable fillers are suitable for you, we invite you to visit Providence Dermatology where Dr. Travis James can help you learn more.

For Providence, UT patients, dermal fillers could work for several different needs and provide a handful of benefits, such as:

• Create facial volume to attain your optimal face shape
• Rejuvenate and add volume to regions that have become hollow or sunken
• Improve regions affected by sagging skin or creases
• Increase your confidence in your skin and overall look

The ideal candidates for injectable fillers are those seeking to reduce the presence of wrinkles and fine lines without having a surgical facelift. Typically, those who have recently lost significant amounts of weight have spots on their face that lack volume and shape. These attributes make them good candidates for injectable fillers. They are also a great option for those who are not comfortable with the scars that can occur following a surgical facelift, as dermal fillers provide a scar-free alternative to lifted and tightened skin.

Immediately after your dermal filler injections, it is normal to experience some mild swelling, redness, bruising, and tenderness at the injection sites. Additionally, your fillers may feel firm or "lumpy," which is also an expected and temporary result. Bruising and swelling should subside within a few days to about a week. Over the next 1-2 weeks, you should begin to notice your fillers feeling softer and more natural. Depending on the type of filler used, where the fillers were injected, and other individual factors, your newly enhanced look may last for up to 12-18 months or longer before repeat injections may be needed.
