What do Dermal
Fillers in Rochester do?

Dermal Fillers are injectable gels that aim at combating your body’s natural aging process and plumping up skin. These treatments temporarily smooth out fine lines, wrinkles, and imperfections of the skin. At Envision Eye & Aesthetics, we use advanced technology to improve the appearance of thin skin with an effective, professional treatment plan for dermal fillers in Rochester that will revamp your skin for a longer period of time.

As time passes, natural aging causes us to lose the subcutaneous fat that helps us appear more youthful. Our facial muscles become more prominent under the skin, so signs of aging such as smile lines and crow’s feet start to appear. Other factors that cause the effects of aging on the skin include sun exposure, genetics, and your specific lifestyle.

That’s where dermal fillers come in. After a quick procedure, you’ll reverse the signs of aging to make you appear years younger! If you have any of these issues, dermal fillers in Rochester are the perfect solution for you:

-Facial Wrinkles & Folds
-Thin Lips
-Sagging Skin
-Aging Hands
-Indented Scars
-Facial Hollowness

For the best results, you’ll want to go somewhere you know can be trusted. At Envision Aesthetics our physician, Dr. Whipple, is board certified in ophthalmology, with a specialty board-certification by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons in Oculofacial Plastic Surgery. So with us, you’ll be getting the gold standard every time.

The magic behind collagen and elastin

Many of our clients come in wondering exactly how collagen and elastin can help the skin. Some try products, such as lotions and creams that have collagen and elastin infused in them. Unfortunately the molecules in those products are too big to penetrate the skin.

Collagen and elastin fibers make up the structure of the skin. Simply speaking, they’re the framework that keeps everything together. Collagen is in charge of giving the skin firmness while elastin gives skin the elasticity needed to bounce back.

Both fibers are plentiful when you’re younger, but as you start to age, sun damage and other factors break down those fibers. In addition, long-term sun exposure degrades the integrity of our skin.

That’s what makes dermal fillers in Rochester so successful. By injecting hyaluronic acid in the skin, the procedure triggers collagen production, which in turn will give you that collagen boost needed to fix signs of aging.

Dermal Fillers versus Botox

Many people believe that dermal fillers are the same as Botox or Dysport. The truth is, fillers are not a neurotoxin. Botox freezes the muscles to stop them from creating fine lines, wrinkles, and other visible signs of aging.

On the other hand, dermal fillers are designed to fill in wrinkles. As we age, our bodies stop producing as much collagen and elastin, causing our skin to lose its elasticity and plumpness. Usually this begins to happen as early as 25!

Fortunately, dermal fillers in Rochester use hyaluronic acid, which promotes collagen and elastin production. With your new smooth, filled-out skin, you’ll walk out of our office looking younger than you have in years!

Types of Dermal Fillers in Rochester, New York

Restylane®

Restylane is a dermal filler that is used to restore natural volume and fullness into the skin. This procedure uses a gel-based curation of hyaluronic acid, which works similarly to your body’s own natural hyaluronic acid, to smooth facial lines and add fullness to cheeks. Restylane is a gel that is injected into the face to create a fuller, more natural look.

Voluma®

Voluma is an FDA-approved, non-surgical dermal filler that aims to combat the loss of volume in cheeks and the mid-facial region due to natural aging. Hyaluronic acid is injected deep into the cheek area beneath the skin’s surface to enhance and fill the facial structure. Voluma raises and fills the skin to create a healthy, rejuvenated look.

Juvéderm®

Juvéderm is an efficient hyaluronic acid dermal filler that aims at correcting wrinkles and facial lines or plumping and enhancing cheeks and lips. It reaches deep beneath the facial tissue to comfortably lift your skin while simultaneously providing volume. Juvéderm lifts and contours different areas of the face to create a long-lasting, natural look.

Belotero®

Belotero aims to effectively subtly treat superficial facial lines and wrinkles to create a smooth, natural look. The process involves injecting hyaluronic acid beneath the skin’s surface to replace lost hyaluronic acid. Belotero is especially effective at targeting deeper-set hollows beneath eyes, helping you look more awake and youthful.

Sculptra®

Sculptra is a dermal filler that uses the power of poly-L-lactic acid to fill and plump facial lines and wrinkles and rejuvenate your skin by creating a more voluptuous, refreshed look. Sculptra’s active ingredient closely resembles lactic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body which plays a role in collagen production, providing longer lasting results, even after the filler is dissolved.

What are the side effects of Dermal Fillers in Rochester?

Because filler injections are minimally invasive, side effects aren’t very common. A few side effects of dermal fillers we’ve seen in the past include reactions to the needle/injection sites in general, including redness, itching, pimples, and swelling. None of these should be a cause of concern and are completely normal.

Our medical professionals will thoroughly cover all of this information with you before you receive your injections. We care about your needs first, and we want to make sure that your results are exactly what you’re looking for.

Results

Dermal fillers work to reverse the signs of your skin’s natural aging process, allowing your skin to look refreshed and youthful again. Dermal fillers are designed to fill any lines, wrinkles, or depressed scars, and to enhance cheeks and lips.

Before the Procedure

Before getting dermal fillers in Rochester with Envision Aesthetics, you’ll meet with us for an one-hour free consultation. During the consultation we’ll speak with you about what your goals are and the problem areas you want to improve. A specialist will examine your skin, including the texture, thickness, elasticity, and amount of wrinkling. This will help us understand where to inject your dermal fillers.

You’ll want to let us know about your medical background, especially if you’ve had injections done within the past four months. This ensures that we are fully aware of your medical needs so that the procedure is done safely and properly. If you take blood thinners, you may want to stop taking them several days before your dermal fillers in Rochester to reduce the amount of bruising and bleeding. It’s also best to avoid alcohol at least a week before your procedure.

During the Procedure

When it’s time for your dermal filler procedure, we’ll have you slightly raised on an exam table. We want to make sure you’re as relaxed and comfortable as possible. For precision and accuracy, our specialists will mark the areas before injecting the fillers. We’ll then use a non-alcohol solution to clean the specified area.

Although the injections may feel like a quick prick, our clients find that getting dermal fillers in Rochester is virtually painless. Based on the amount of injections needed, the process can take around 30 to 40 minutes. At Envision Aesthetics, our professionals make the procedure simple and easy, so you can rest easy knowing that we have you taken care of.

After the Procedure

Once your procedure is done, you’re free to go and enjoy the rest of the day. The great thing about dermal fillers is that there’s little to no recovery time. It’s perfect for stopping by during a lunch break or between your Saturday afternoon errand runs. Either way, Envision Aesthetics makes sure that you’re in and out of your appointment for dermal fillers in Rochester.

It’s important to note that you’ll want to avoid taking aspirin, such as ibuprofen, after your procedure. Doing so could cause additional bruising that may be a cause of concern. For optimal results, especially for the lines between the eyebrows, we recommend combining your dermal fillers with Botox.

One of the best things you can do is stay hydrated. Hyaluronic acid binds to water, so the more hydrated you are, the more youthful you’ll appear.

If you want to maintain your wrinkle-free look, don’t go more than six months between your dermal filler procedures. After about two years on this regular schedule, most of our clients find that they need less fillers to achieve the same look!

Client Results

Our providers will help you decide which dermal filler will best suit your needs. The effects of fillers typically last 6-18 months,
depending on the individual.
