Choosing the Right Dermal Filler

It is important to trust a reputable injector when you’re looking for filler injections in Washington DC.

Aside from choosing the proper injector, another important factor in choosing a filler treatment is understanding how the product works and what area it is made for

Depending on what area of your face that you’re trying to fill, different filler products can and should be used.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

According to New York dermatologist Jody Levine, MD, when it comes to correcting fine lines, you should use a very thing hyaluronic acid filler.

“Belotero Balance is my thin filler of choice, but there are other similar ones out there, like Restylane Silk,” said Dr. Levine (via New Beauty).

New York plastic surgeon Craig A. Foster, MD, adds that Belotero was designed specifically for treating fine lines.

“It’s handling characteristics and injectability are a byproduct of its low viscosity, which allows it to be injected superficially in the skin into evenly dispersed areas, filling the tissue underneath and around fine lines.”

According to Merz Aesthetics, Belotero is a hyaluronic acid (HA) injectable filler that completely integrates into the skin tissue.

While some fillers are designed to rebuild facial volume and structure, Belotero specifically treats moderate-to-severe etched-in lines and wrinkles such as vertical lip lines above and around the lips.

Bigger Lips

When you’re looking to have filler injections to increase the size of your lips, it is vital to know what type of product you’re getting.

Making sure the injector is using hyaluronic acid filler is up utmost importance.

Whether your injector is using Restylane Silk, Belotero or Juvéderm Ultra or Volbella, different lip fillers do different things.

Different products are used depending on what you are trying to achieve.

“To augment the lips and add fullness, my favorite filler is Juvéderm because it gives the softest and most natural feeling in the lips. To treat the edges of the lips and make them crisp, Juvéderm, Restylane Silk or Volbella are great. They also fill in the small cracks you get along the edges of the lips, which makes your lipstick bleed,” said Santa Monica, CA, dermatologist Karyn Grossman, MD.

Patients find that dermal fillers are instrumental in helping them maintain their youth and slow the formation and deepening of lines and wrinkles on the face.
