What To Expect From Facial Fillers in Atlanta, GA

Over the years, dermal fillers and injectables have grown popularity as a quick, easy and painless way to get rid of fine lines and wrinkles on the face with no downtime or recovery period. When considering getting dermal fillers, it’s good to know what you should expect before, during and after the treatment.

Dermal Fillers vs. Injectables

Dermal fillers are typically made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring sugar in the body that binds to water to add volume back into the skin where volume has been lost due to age. Dermal fillers are usually used to rejuvenate the skin by filling in lines and wrinkles around the mouth, by lifting the cheeks and by plumping the lips.

Injectables are treatments typically made from a botulinum toxin that temporarily stops muscle movements in the treated areas. This helps to rid the face of wrinkles known as “action wrinkles” or lines on the forehead and frown lines between the eyebrows. This treatment should not be used to add volume back into the face to smooth lines, like with dermal fillers.
