The Modern Luxury Approach to Youthful Skin: Understanding Dermal Fillers
When many people think about looking younger, their thoughtsmay jump to plastic surgery and other treatments that often result in drasticchanges. However, today’s approach to youthful skin is much different. It’s nolonger about those major changes. Instead, the modern approach to anti-aging isfocused on subtle changes that, when taken as a whole, make you look younger ina much more natural way.
At Aluna Aesthetics, we have years of experience in luxurycosmetic treatments that can take years off your face without making you looklike someone else. In fact, these treatments are often difficult to pinpoint.People will look at you and notice you have fewer wrinkles and other signs ofaging, but they won’t immediately know why or even think that you’ve hadanything done. It’s this subtle yet effective approach that we excel at.
One of the most effective treatments we offer is dermalfillers. These fillers often serve as the foundation of our overalltreatment plans. What are dermal fillers? We’ve broken down the basics so youknow how they work and what they can do for you.
Dermal Fillers: More Than Just Volume
Today’s high-qualitydermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurringsubstance that is already found in the skin. This acid helps keep the skinhydrated and gives it that plump, full look. Dermal fillers work by acting likea sponge. They attract water to them, binding it so that the skin regains someof that bounce it had when you were younger.
This means that when you add a filler such as Juvedermto your body, you’re not adding any foreign substance. Instead, you’re simplyadding a substance already in your body. As we get older, the amount ofhyaluronic acid the body produces naturally decreases. We also lose some of thefat in the face and some of the density in our bones, including our cheekbones.
This is what causes the face to start looking saggy. Thathollow look under your eyes, those jowls around your jaw, the folds around yourmouth…all the result of less hyaluronic acid.
Adding some dermal fillers to the area can reverse theseissues. Your cheeks will look fuller, your jaw tighter. Deep lines will looksofter as your skin regains some of the support it has lost.
Restoration vs. Alteration
One of the differences between traditional cosmetictechniques and our modern ones is that of restoration verses alteration. We’renot looking to alter your body in unnatural ways. Many people think that gettingdermal fillers means adding foreign substances to your body that change it,leading to puffed-up cheeks or large lips. We’re not going to leave you lookingoverfilled and inflated. That’s altering your natural appearance, and we knowyou don’t want that.
Instead, we focus on restoring your natural looks. We’regoing to help you turn back time, reclaiming the soft curves of your face. Ourgoal with injectable filler treatments is to undo what time has done,tightening and smoothing everything out. By adding small amounts of filler instrategic places, we make small adjustments to your appearance that, when takenas a whole, give you the look you want.
With the old focus on alternation, you could expect peopleto come up to you and ask what procedure you had done. With techniques thatfocus on restoration, don’t expect that. People won’t think you’ve had anythingdone. Instead, you’ll have people complimenting you on how rested you look orcommenting about how your skin is glowing. That’s the goal of modern luxurycosmetics: they’re invisible. People don’t realize you’ve had anything done.
The Hidden Benefits: Hydration and Collagen Stimulation
The immediate results of dermal fillers are what most peopleare concerned about. However, while it can be very satisfying to see yourcheeks tighten up or the hollows under your eyes vanish, there are even morebenefits you’re not going to see.
Our hyaluronic acid fillers attract water to the skin, whichmeans that the treated areas are going to be more hydrated than they once were.This hydration doesn’t just affect how tight the skin is—it also affects how itlooks and its overall quality. Your skin is going to feel better. Fillers alsohelp stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen, whichin turn helps the structure, look, and feel of your skin.
Dermal fillers don’t just fill space in your face. They havelasting results that help your body rejuvenate itself.
