Say Goodbye to Laugh Lines with Dermal Fillers

Laugh lines or smile lines are a sign of a life well-lived, but that doesn’t mean you have to be happy about them. If your face has the deep furrows known as nasolabial folds, you may have tried a variety of lotions and potions to try and get rid of them, and to no avail. If you’re searching for a solution that really works, dermal fillers can help.  Here’s how!

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable cosmetic products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to plump up deep lines in your face. Delivered by a small needle, your dentist will fill in the lines in your nasolabial fold, smoothing them out by puffing them up. The effects can last anywhere from six months to two years.

Why Get Dermal Fillers from Your Dentist?

While there are likely many places where you can get dermal fillers these days, you may be wondering where you should go for this treatment. The truth is, very few people know the musculature of the face like your dentist. In fact, your dentist has special training for dermal fillers, unlike some of the technicians at med-spas and salons. Furthermore, your dentist can help create a more balanced appearance, so your smile matches the rest of your face, and your fillers don’t appear too heavy-handed. Don’t leave something as important as your face to someone underqualified.

Other Uses for Dermal Fillers

In addition to nasolabial folds, your dentist can also use dermal fillers to treat many other areas of the face, including:

• Cheekbones
• Chin
• Jawlines
• Non-surgical rhinoplasty

Dissolving Dermal Fillers

Though fillers are synthetic, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring product that is already made by your body, so there is very little chance of adverse effects or your body “rejecting” it.

While most patients are thrilled with the results of their dermal fillers, one of the benefits of them is that if you’re not completely satisfied, you can dissolve them and go back to your untreated appearance. If you have gotten fillers from elsewhere and would like to try again, your dentist can help you correct any “bad” fills from other practitioners, and leave you with the look you wanted to achieve from the start.

Remember, your dentist is a great resource for anything related to the face. If you’re interested in filling in laugh lines, schedule a consultation to discuss the benefits of dermal fillers today!
