The technology for soft tissue fillers (also known as dermal fillers) has advanced significantly in the past few years, offering a wide range of options for clients to smooth out deep wrinkles and restore a youthful fullness to their face without surgery.
Many of our regular clients at Okanagan Skin Care Centre have enjoyed the benefits of tissue or dermal fillers for years. The procedure is quick, with minimal discomfort and immediate results.
If you’re new to tissue fillers and curious about the benefits, read on for this overview of how tissue fillers work and what types of skin issues they can solve.
How do tissue fillers work?
Tissue fillers consist of a special liquid or gel that is carefully injected into your skin with a fine needle. All of the substances used for the tissue filler are safe and many are naturally occurring in the skin already, such as collagen or hyaluronic acid.
After marking the treatment area, the technician applies a numbing cream so that you feel minimal pain, and then injects the filler. The entire process is quick, usually taking just one hour or less.
You’ll notice a difference immediately as any wrinkles, pitted acne scars, or hollowness in your face are effectively smoothed out and plumped up to restore an even, youthful skin texture.
See our video of an actual tissue filler treatment for an idea of how quick and painless this process can be:
