How Dermal Fillers Could Help You

Unlike Botox treatments, dermal fillers plump up, add volume or fullness, and smooth your skin instead of relaxing the muscles. Dermatologist Dr. Ryan Owsley of Comprehensive Dermatology of Idaho, PLLC, located in Nampa and McCall, ID, are dermal filler experts and can help you smooth away your wrinkles and restore the natural contours of your face.

What are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers restore the volume and fullness to your face while decreasing facial lines. With age, our face loses subcutaneous fat naturally and causes the muscles of our face to work closer to the surface of the skin. This transition causes crow's feet and smile lines to become more apparent.

At the same time, the skin stretches and loses its volume. Sun exposure, lifestyle, and genetics can also affect how much or less the skin wrinkles. 

What Can Dermal Fillers Do?

Dermal fillers benefit patients with early signs of aging or as part of other facial cosmetic procedures. Different ways dermal fillers work is they:

  • Enhance the natural contours of the face
  • Plump thin lips
  • Soften creases and wrinkles of the face
  • Improve the appearance of scars
  • Correct contour deformities of the face
  • Remove or decrease the shadow of the lower lids

Who is a Good Candidate for Dermal Fillers?

Dr. Owsley may recommend dermal fillers if you:

  • Are healthy overall
  • Do not smoke
  • Are committed to maintaining and taking care of your skin
  • Have realistic goals and a positive outlook in terms of your appearance improvement expectations

Dermal fillers are minimally invasive, but they are not for everyone. For some patients, procedures such as a facelift, eye lift, or brow lift may be the best approach. 

What Should I Expect During My Dermal Fillers Consultation?

When you come in for your consultation appointment with Dermatologist Dr. Owsley, you should be prepared to discuss:

  • Your goals
  • Medical history, medical conditions, drug allergies, and previous medical treatments, including prior cosmetic procedures
  • Current medications, vitamins, supplements, tobacco use, drug use, and alcohol use

Once he examines your face and reviews your medical history and health status, he will carefully explain the best treatment option for you and the next steps. At your appointment, it is essential to ask questions and understand all aspects of dermal fillers.

Dermal fillers may be commonly known as "wrinkle fillers," but they can do so much more than smooth out your wrinkles.
