Summer Skincare Guide: The Role of Dermal Fillers

As the heat of summer slowly creeps in and days become longer, many of us look forward to enjoying the great outdoors. Yet, while we revel in the beauty of the blooming season, we must give extra care to our skin to protect it from the harsh effects of the sun. The warm summer sun can often lead to dehydrated skin, causing a loss of facial volume and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. This is where the specialized service offerings of Marina Medical Aesthetics come into play. We're introducing you to one of our most sought-after treatments that can help you maintain a youthful, healthy glow throughout the summer - dermal fillers.

An effective summer skincare regimen doesn't just stop at sunscreen and staying hydrated. While these are absolutely essential, it can also be beneficial to explore professional skincare treatments that can directly address summer-related skin issues such as volume loss and wrinkle formation. Dermal fillers, a non-surgical treatment offered at Marina Medical Aesthetics, can help improve these conditions by restoring facial volume, smoothing wrinkles, and enhancing overall facial contours.

This summer skincare guide aims to educate you on the role of dermal fillers and how they can be used to maintain your skin's vibrance during the sun-soaked season.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel-like substances that are gently injected under the skin. They are primarily used to restore volume, smooth out wrinkles, and boost the overall contours of your face. They are particularly effective for areas such as the cheeks, lips, nasolabial folds, and under-eye hollows. At Marina Medical Aesthetics, we use hyaluronic acid, calcium hydroxylapatite, and poly-L-lactic acid fillers, each offering unique benefits.

How Dermal Fillers Work

Hyaluronic acid fillers are popular for their ability to attract and retain moisture, thereby reducing wrinkles. Calcium hydroxylapatite fillers provide immediate volume and stimulate collagen production for longer-lasting results. Poly-L-lactic acid fillers result in gradual, natural-looking changes by stimulating collagen production over time.

Benefits of Dermal Fillers During Summer

Hydrating the Skin 

Hyaluronic acid fillers can be beneficial during the summer, as they can help combat the dehydrating effect of the sun on your skin.

Restoring Volume

If your skin has lost volume due to exposure to the sun, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers can help restore that volume and give your face a more youthful appearance.

Subtle Changes 

Poly-L-lactic acid fillers can provide you with subtle changes over the summer, giving you a refreshed, natural look that lasts.

How Long Do Dermal Fillers Last?

The longevity of dermal fillers depends on the type of filler used. Hyaluronic acid fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, calcium hydroxylapatite fillers can last up to 12 months or more, and poly-L-lactic acid fillers can last up to 2 years. 

Potential Side Effects 

While dermal fillers are generally well-tolerated, potential side effects may include swelling, bruising, the formation of small nodules under the skin, and redness at the injection site. Our team ensures to inform our clients about these possibilities and provide them with comprehensive aftercare instructions to minimize any discomfort.
