As you get older, your face begins to lose some of its fullness. Repetitive muscle actions created by facial expressions usually cause wrinkles. How your face ages depends on many factors—your genes, whether you smoke, your sleep positions and how much UV light exposure you've had.
The board-certified facial plastic surgeon at Main Line Health uses injectables and fillers to combat wrinkles and other signs of aging. The safe, effective techniques used to administer these medications are nonsurgical and minimally invasive.
The major benefit of facial injectables and fillers is that, except for minor bruising, they require little or no downtime. Also, with most of these medications, you'll see immediate results. Some injectables and fillers are more suitable than others for use in certain areas of the face. Injectables and fillers can be used to treat:
Injectables and fillers must be administered carefully by a licensed medical professional who understands the underlying facial muscle actions, as well as the appropriate preparation and application of the treatment. Talk with your doctor to learn more about what options may be right for you and your cosmetic goals.
