The Powers Of Dermal Fillers Extend Beyond Smoothing Out Wrinkles. The Benefits Of Dermal Fillers Sugar Land, TX, Don’t Stop There!
Think of dermal fillers as having a “fluffing effect” on your skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles by plumping up your skin, and channeling a substance your body has in abundance already to do it.
But dermal fillers in Sugar Land, TX, aren’t one-trick ponies by any means.
Besides harnessing the powers a naturally occurring substance in your body has, you’ll see that these are a crown jewel in the cosmetic world right now for a number of reasons.
Uncover a more beautiful you without needing surgery and possibly even benefit from dermal fillers in ways you didn’t even know were possible.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Let’s talk shop before we wow you with all the benefits. Dermal fillers like Juvederm, Belotero, and Voluma contain an ingredient your body was born with and continues to produce for the rest of your life – hyaluronic acid. It retains 1,000 times its weight in water. (Yes, you read that right – 1,000!)
Sadly, though, your levels diminish as you age, leaving your skin less plump and more wrinkled, as it’s responsible for giving your skin its volume and some elasticity as well.
Though there are over-the-counter and even prescription-grade serums that use hyaluronic acid, these can’t do what dermal fillers do, as fillers penetrate beneath the skin where you need the hyaluronic acid the most.
The topicals, depending on the weight of the molecules used, can’t penetrate the skin adequately to provide the kind of results most people are looking for.
However, dermal fillers are injected under the skin. The hyaluronic acid will be where it has the highest potential to draw in moisture. Plus, it can stimulate new collagen, another substance benefitting skin elasticity.
Most commonly, Dr. Shel provides these injections for patients looking to reduce wrinkles in the following places:
- Jowl
- Lip lines
- Crows feet (around eyes)
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Cheeks
- Eyes
- Marionette lines (vertical lines down chin)
We’d also like to note that we offer Radiesse, which doesn’t use hyaluronic acid but instead uses another substance your body naturally has, calcium hydroxyapatite.
Why Choose Dermal Fillers
First and foremost, if you want to improve your appearance but are on the fence, dermal fillers are the way to go. While we think you’ll like the results, if you don’t, you’ll be happy to know it’s completely reversible.
Just don’t get any more injections, and your appearance will return to normal. If you’d like to reverse the results now, we can give you an injection to counteract the effects.
Another perk — let’s say your skin is pretty sensitive, and you may have had an allergic reaction or two in the past. This isn’t a concern with dermal fillers because your body naturally produces hyaluronic acid, making it biocompatible.
The benefits don’t stop there — perhaps you’re trying to look more youthful and don’t want everybody making a fuss about it, which is totally understandable! The results of dermal fillers in Sugar Land, TX, happen over time.
While you’ll notice some changes initially, it takes up to two weeks for dermal fillers to take full effect, and our practitioner may layer the results or provide subtle ones. And even then, the results look natural because of the type of treatment it is and the precision our physician uses.
Plus, for those of you who are squeamish about pain, we’ll apply ice and a topical numbing agent to block any pain from the injection.
Moreover, these injections are quick. The longest part of the treatment is our practitioner determining the right treatment approach for you. Overall, you can expect to be in our office for about 30 minutes to an hour. After, you can return to doing whatever you do, even work, because there’s no downtime!
Some Uses of Dermal Fillers You Might Not Have Known About
It’s true: dermal fillers can soften those smile lines and target crow’s feet — all the signs you’ve smiled and enjoyed life (or squinted a ton when it comes to crow’s feet).
You may be shocked, though, that dermal fillers aren’t just heavy hitters when it comes to lessening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

No-Knife Nose Job
Our doctor can use these injections as a mini nose job in a syringe; no need for a scalpel! Maybe you have a slight nose hump on the bridge of your nose or some asymmetry that’s always bothered you.
Dr. Shel uses dermal fillers to reshape the tip and bridge of your nose to promote harmony and correct the appearance of any nasal humps.
Despite dermal fillers usually lasting six to 12 months before you need “a refresher” in your nose, these injections last up to two and a half years because your nose has no dynamic muscle movement.

Reduce the Signs of Aging on Your Hands
Your hands give away your age, even if your face isn’t. You lose collagen over time, causing the tendons and veins in your hands to stand out more.Through a few injections in your hands, we can bulk up the appearance of your skin, making your veins and tendons less prominent and your entire hand more youthful.
Plus, the active ingredient in the injections also stimulates your collagen production, and it’s a lasting treatment that provides results immediately and up to two years.
