At What Age Should You Start Fillers?
Your body naturally changes as you age and some of these changes might include new wrinkles on your face. These changes occur due to the loss of some subcutaneous fat supporting the skin. Fortunately, dermal fillers can help soften your wrinkles if you are unhappy with them.
Dermal Fillers
Do you want to correct wrinkles and fine lines, plump your lips, restore skin volume to your face, or conceal an imperfection? If so, dermal fillers are an excellent nonsurgical option. A cosmetic surgeon injects a gel-like substance beneath the skin to soften creases and smooth lines, restore lost volume, or enhance facial contours.
How Dermal Fillers Can Enhance Your Appearance
More than a million women and men annually choose this facial rejuvenation treatment. It is a cost-effective, minimally-invasive way to look younger without downtime. Also known as wrinkle fillers, they can help address the following issues:
Vertical lip lines
Lines around the mouth and nose, also known as parentheses, smile lines, and marionette lines
Sunken temples and cheeks
Chin crease
Asymmetrical facial features
The Right Age to Get Dermal Fillers
According to cosmetic surgeons, filler injections can begin in your early 20s. You can continue the treatment throughout your lifetime. Fillers can be part of your skincare routine, like applying skincare products or sunscreen.
Dermal Fillers by the Numbers
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, most people get fillers between the ages of 40 and 54. A smaller portion of the younger population pursues this treatment. That said, there is no shame in getting fillers in your 20s.
Dermal Fillers in Your Twenties
If you want fuller, plumper lips, you should consider lip augmentation in your early 20s. Cheek augmentation is a good option if you think your face is too flat and needs more structure. Most people in their twenties get filler injections to enhance their jawline and chin.
Dermal Fillers in Your Thirties and Forties
Many people in their 30s and 40s get filler injections to minimize marionette lines and smile lines as they start to appear. The treatment goal is to prevent deeper folds and lines and slow the aging process to maintain a more youthful appearance. This treatment offers a noninvasive solution that allows men and women to make subtle adjustments to their cheeks, nose, jawline, and chin for a rejuvenated look.
Dermal Fillers in Your Fifties
Older men and women in their 50s get regular filler injections to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines and restore volume. The loss of collagen can lead to an aged, sunken look at the temples and cheeks. This treatment is an excellent option for people who want a rejuvenated appearance without the commitment of invasive surgical treatment.
Treatment results can vary. You need a skilled cosmetic professional behind the needle to achieve the best results possible. Like all cosmetic procedures, injecting dermal fillers is an art. Your cosmetic surgeon will recommend the most appropriate facial enhancement or anti-aging treatment.
