If you're worried about or unhappy with how your face is aging, anti-aging dermal fillers are an option to reduce the signs of aging. Dermal fillers can be created from a few different ingredients, such as hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxyapatite, and poly-l-lactic acid. The best filler depends on the specific signs of aging that you want to improve. 

Fillers help add volume to your face, increase your skin's moisture, and improve your skin's elasticity. Here are a few reasons to consider getting anti-aging dermal fillers. 

1. It's Possible to Subtly Reverse the Signs of Aging

Some people want to get a lot of dermal filler at once in hopes of instantly looking younger. While large amounts of filler that yield dramatic results are an option, if you use small amounts of dermal filler over an extended period, the effects from your fillers will be much more subtle and natural.

People will know that you look better, but they won't necessarily know that you're using injectable fillers to slow down the signs of aging. 

2. There's No Downtime Required for Dermal Filler Treatments

A lot of facial treatments that improve the appearance of common aging signs require some type of downtime. However, with dermal filler treatments, you can resume your normal activities the same day as your injections. 

You don't have to take time off work or from your household responsibilities, and you're free to drive yourself to and from the appointment since the fillers are administered while you're awake. While you may have a little swelling after your injections, it shouldn't cause significant discomfort. 

3. Dermal Fillers Can Encourage Your Body to Combat the Signs of Aging

While the fillers themselves restore volume to your face, this isn't the only way that they reduce the signs of aging. The ingredients in some dermal fillers encourage your body to produce more collagen.

Collagen is a protein that's one of the main building blocks for your skin. It helps keep your skin firm and plump. By signaling your body to make additional collagen, you'll experience long-term benefits from your anti-aging injections. 

4. The Results from Your Fillers Can be Customized

Another advantage of dermal fillers is that your practitioner can customize the injections so they address the areas that you're most concerned about. You can use dermal fillers in many areas of the face, including the cheeks, chin, lips, and around the eyes and nose. 

If you have facial scarring due to acne or an injury, dermal fillers can add volume to the scarred area so your scars are less noticeable. 

Dermal fillers aren't limited to your face; you can also have injections in the backs of your hands.
