When you look in the mirror, do you wish that your skin was as volumized as it was when you were younger? Do you see wrinkles, creases, folds, or lines that refuse to respond to the diligent application of anti-aging creams? If so, you may be the right age to get dermal fillers at Beauty Co. in Raleigh, NC. If you suspect you could benefit from volumizing your skin, read on to learn more about this treatment, including the ideal age to get it.
What Is the Right Age To Get Dermal Fillers?
The right age to get dermal fillers depends on the specific filler you are trying to get. For example, you must be at least 22 years of age to qualify for Juvederm injections. However, there is only a minimum age of 21 for Restylane injections. To find out which line of injectables is right for you, an initial evaluation with one of our aesthetic experts is required. Also, you should know that you don’t have to worry about being too old for treatment if you’re healthy.
How Soon Will I Be Able To See My Desired Results?
Assuming you only need one treatment session to achieve your desired results, you can generally expect to be satisfied with your appearance roughly 10 to 14 days after your injections are complete. As soon as your treatment session is over, you will be able to see and feel a localized volume increase. However, it takes a while for your final results to become apparent because the hyaluronic acid takes a while to settle in.
Once the hyaluronic acid-based gel has spread throughout your treatment area and settled in, it takes a while for your skin to produce a sufficient amount of extra collagen in response to the gel. To see your final results as quickly as possible, prime your skin to produce collagen efficiently by staying hydrated, eating nutritiously, and minimizing exposure to UV rays. Also, refrain from consuming alcohol in excessive quantities and don’t smoke.
What Else Should I Do After My Treatment?
Once your treatment session is complete, you are free to return to work. You will not be sedated during your quick, painless treatment, and general anesthesia will not be administered. Therefore, it will be perfectly safe for you to drive once your injections are complete. However, there are a number of restrictions you should keep in mind if you plan to return to work after your treatment session.
For example, it is very important that you do not sweat. If you have a physically demanding job, take it easy or plan to take the rest of the day off. Also, keep in mind that protecting your skin from UV damage is vital. If you work outside or there is a window in your office, make sure you apply sunscreen thoroughly and often. Furthermore, keep in mind that you will need to avoid vigorous exercise, such as team sports, and applying too much pressure to your face.
Am I a Good Dermal Filler Candidate?
You can feel pretty confident that you are a good candidate for dermal fillers if you are at least 22 years of age. However, to reiterate, you need to attend an initial evaluation to find out for sure whether you qualify. There are certain health conditions that may make you a poor fit for this type of anti-aging treatment. For example, this treatment will not be ideal for you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, suffering from skin irritation, or have an infection.
In addition to verifying that this type of anti-aging treatment will be safe for you, we need to make sure that it will be effective. We need to discuss your goals thoroughly and diagnose the cause of your cosmetic concerns. This type of treatment will be effective if your cosmetic concerns are caused by moderate-to-severe volume loss. On the other hand, if you are showing signs of aging due to hyperactive muscles, this treatment will not be able to help you.
How Should I Prepare for My Treatment?
To qualify for dermal filler injections, there are a number of preparation steps you must be willing and able to follow. For example, it is vital that you do not drink alcohol or consume tobacco products prior to your treatment.
There are numerous reasons for this, not the least of which is the risk that your blood pressure will be too high when you come in for your appointment. It is also very important that you mitigate your risk of skin irritation. Do your best to minimize sun exposure.
