Beating Signs Of Aging Without Surgery: 3 New Ways Dermal Fillers Can Be Used To Make Your Body Look More Youthful

No one wants to look older than they feel, and with today's medical technology, it is becoming easier than ever to stay young-looking without having to obtain invasive cosmetic surgery procedures. Today, many cosmetic surgery procedures can be skipped when doctors use a combination of Botox and dermal filers to produce similar anti-aging results more quickly and easily. New dermal fillers on the market can last years, and some even stay in place permanently. In addition, they are now FDA-approved for use to help you obtain a younger-looking body and not just a younger face. Read on to learn about three new ways dermal fillers can shave years off the appearance of your body. 

1. Dermal Fillers can "Erase" Wrinkles on Your Neck

Over the years, many celebrity tabloid magazines and websites have "poked fun" at celebrities who have faces that appear much younger than they truly are, yet have necks covered in wrinkles. There used to be no way to improve the appearance of neck wrinkles other than to obtain a neck lift surgery, and many celebs who have embraced Botox and fillers weren't up to the task of undergoing this surgery. Older dermal fillers could not be used in the neck due to their thickness and the fact that neck skin is thin and delicate; this could lead to the skin appearing blue after the older fillers were injected into neck wrinkles. 

Now, dermal fillers made of much thinner hyaluronic acid can be used to fill out neck wrinkles to help celebrities and everyday people alike who strive to stay young help ensure that the great look they obtain with facial fillers doesn't contrast starkly with a neck that makes them appear much older. 

Some neck wrinkles respond well to Botox, including "necklace lines " and vertical neck lines. When injected under the chin, Botox can even tighten your neckline to reduce skin sagging. Additional neck lift can be achieved by injecting dermal filler around your ears; this will "pull" the loose skin up. Any other surface lines and wrinkles can be strategically injected with dermal filler to give you a young-looking neck without having to obtain a neck lift surgery. 

2. Fillers Can Also Be Used to Plump your Hands

If you have protected your face from sun with sunscreen for most of your life, then you may be reaping the great reward of having a face that appears younger than many other people your age. However, even sunscreen devotees have trouble keeping the backs of their hands in sunscreen to prevent wrinkles; everyone washes their hands multiple times each day, making it difficult to keep sunscreen on them. As you age, your hands also lose volume, similar to how faces lose volume during the aging process, and this volume loss alone can make your hands appear "older." 

Dermal fillers can be used to both plump up fine lines and wrinkles in your hands and restore loss of volume that makes your hands appear older. If you have age spots on your hands, then they can also now be treated with and IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, laser treatments. 

3. Dermal Fillers Can Improve the Appearance of your Knees

If you dread wearing shorts and skirts in the summer due to your saggy knees, then dermal fillers can be used to plump them up as well. Knees can appear saggy for a variety of reasons, but aging and weight loss are the two most common causes of having knees that appear to have "loose skin" on them. 

If your knees are especially saggy, then you my benefit from a combination of two procedures; an infrared light laser procedure can be used to tighten the skin, and a thick filler can then be injected into them to help fill out the newly tightened skin. Of course, if your knees only have a few lines and wrinkles, you can skip the laser procedure and experience great results with the dermal filler alone. 

Dermal fillers can now be used to help you obtain a younger-looking body and are not just for facial use. If you have wrinkles or sagging skin on any part of your body that you would like to smooth and tighten, then speak to a cosmetic surgeon to find out if dermal fillers can help you obtain a body you finally love.
