Five things to know about dermal fillers for eye wrinkles

Our team best describes dermal fillers as a type of cosmetic injectable that can reduce the overall appearance and depth of wrinkles and fine lines on one’s face. They add volume under the skin, filling in areas that have lost elasticity or volume due to aging. At Biomend Aesthetics and Wellness, our providers assist Littleton, Colorado, area patients with ways to turn back the hands of time without plastic surgery. Dermal fillers are commonly used for problems such as crow’s feet, which are the wrinkles around the eyes that can develop due to the natural loss of collagen and elastin in the skin. Let’s look at five things you need to know about using dermal fillers for eye wrinkles.

1. There are various kinds of dermal fillers available: Various types of quality dermal fillers are used to treat eye wrinkles. Some popular options include calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) fillers, hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers, and poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) fillers. Each type has its own unique properties and may be more suitable for certain individuals, depending on their skin type and desired results.
2. Results are not permanent: Dermal fillers provide temporary results, though many patients will ask us, “How long does it last?” Depending on the type, dermal filler procedures often last six months and two years. This means that you need to schedule touch-up appointments every few months or years to maintain the desired results.
3. They can also be used for other areas of the face: While dermal fillers are commonly associated with treating wrinkles around the eyes, they can also be used for other areas of the face, such as laugh lines, forehead wrinkles, and nasolabial folds (the lines that run from the nose to mouth). This makes them a versatile option for overall facial rejuvenation.
4. Dermal fillers are non-invasive and have minimal downtime: Unlike plastic surgery, dermal filler injections require no cutting or anesthesia, making them a quick and relatively painless procedure. Additionally, there is little to no downtime after the treatment, so you can resume your daily activities immediately after leaving the office.
5. Results can be subtle or dramatic depending on individual goals: The amount of filler used and where it is injected can greatly impact the final results of the treatment. For those looking for a more natural look, a smaller amount of filler can be used for subtle improvements. However, larger amounts may be necessary for those seeking more dramatic changes to achieve their desired results.
