Fillers in Memphis, Collierville & Jackson, TN
Aging, chronic sun exposure, and other factors can cause facial skin to develop lines, creases, and wrinkles. Fillers help revitalize skin by restoring lost volume so it appears smoother and more youthful. The experienced providers at Levy Dermatology in Memphis, Collierville, and Jackson, TN, offer fillers and other cosmetic dermatology treatments to rejuvenate your skin and appearance.
How Fillers Work
Healthy, youthful skin is smooth, firm, elastic, and well-hydrated due to high levels of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. These three substances diminish over time due to natural aging, sun damage, and other factors. Reduced levels of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid can lead to the development of lines, wrinkles, creases, sagging, and dryness.
Fillers work to reduce and temporarily reverse the effects of aging and sun damage by filling in and plumping up areas of the skin that have lost firmness, elasticity, and hydration. Fillers contain various ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, that restore hydration and fullness to the skin.
A fine needle injects the filler material directly into the skin. The skin plumps up as lost volume is restored, helping it appear smoother with fewer lines and wrinkles. Depending on the size of the area being treated, treatment can take as little as 15 minutes, with results lasting up to 12 months before additional treatments are needed. In many cases, visible improvements in skin can be seen shortly after treatment, with maximum results a few weeks after treatment.
