When we lose or gain weight, it will affect our skin’s appearance, sometimes for the better, but often times the worse. When you lose weight, you lose the fat in the skin, which decreases the natural plumpness of your skin. Therefore, fine lines and wrinkles become deeper and more noticeable; the skin gets looser and can even start sagging, especially if you have lost a lot of pounds. Most probably, losing around 10-20 pounds will not make a dramatic difference in the skin’s appearance but over that, your skin will unfortunately appear indeed older. And it’s not just about the wrinkles, even the pores become more noticeable: without fat underneath to fill them out, they actually sink further in the skin and thus they appear larger and deeper. This goes also for scars (for example chicken pox scars).

Solution?

Refilling these areas restores the normal contours and rejuvenates the face. Volumizers are especially designed for this purpose: they add volume to areas where it is needed. They replace the lost collagen and provide structure to the face.

How long does the effect last?

Well, we have good news for you: depending on the base of the volumizer, effect can last from at least 6 months up to 1-2 years.

Are there any side effects from volumizing facial fillers?

Most side effects are from mild to tolerate in nature and they will last seven days or less. The most common ones include temporary side reactions like redness, pain, tenderness, swelling and bruising. Rare side effects are small bumps, lumps that may form under the skin in case the filler may move from the place where it was injected; risk of infection at the side of injection or injection to a blood vessel causing tissue damage.

Is it uncomfortable to get injected?

Getting the fillers injected may cause discomfort, indeed. However, many fillers also include a local anesthetic.

And last but not least, the most important is of course, that the treatment must be done by qualified, trained personnel who you can trust and consult beforehand. So you can relax and enjoy your newly lifted, reshaped, young-looking skin – and receive the flattering comments from your surrounding!
