As we grow older, our skin loses its elasticity and over time it will stretch, resulting in loss of facial volume. Many things can cause havoc on your face, including sun damage, smoking, unhealthy eating habits, bad skincare techniques and caffeine. Dermal filler treatments are an ideal solution to help reduce facial lines and wrinkles, restoring lost volume and rejuvenating the face. The reason our skin stays plump is due to the high content of water. The main constituent of dermal fillers is hyaluronic acid; a substance that is naturally present in the body, which absorbs moisture and helps to keep the skin hydrated. If you want to keep your face looking soft, plump and with fewer lines, it is important that your skin stays hydrated.

Ways through which you can check the hydration of your skin:

• One way to check your skin’s hydration levels is to gently pinch the skin beneath your eyes and release. How quickly it plumps back up, indicates how hydrated and elastic your skin is, and the faster it snaps back shows the healthier skin quality.
• Likewise, if you pinch your cheeks and it leaves fine lines, this shows that your skin might be dehydrated or have reduced elasticity.
• You can check the skin around your mouth by puckering up as if you are going to give a kiss, and if fine lines remain once you have released the pout, this could mean there is less hydration in the skin.

The procedure of how the dermal filler is injected:

The dermal filler treatments get injected under the skin with a fine needle by a cosmetic doctor. The procedure is almost painless and any side effects such as; slight redness, mild swelling and tenderness, are minimal. The treatment can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on which areas you are having done. There is no downtime or recovery needed and you can to return to your daily activities straight away. Anti-ageing treatments for the face are very popular, and dermal filler treatments are one of the most requested at cosmetic clinics. Dermal fillers are an ideal option for those who want to regain their youthful features, improve their facial contours and lessen deep wrinkles. This versatile injectable procedure can plump up, add volume and lift the skin, leaving it smooth, contoured and looking younger.
