As the winter season wraps us in its chilly embrace, it brings with it a unique set of challenges for our skin. In the world of cosmetic enhancements, dermal fillers have risen to prominence, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reporting millions of procedures annually.
An injectable filler, often comprising hyaluronic acid (HA) – a natural component of the skin – has become a go-to solution for those seeking to restore volume and smooth out deeper wrinkles and skin folds. But how do you ensure these FDA-approved wonders maintain their magic throughout the harsh winter months?
Keep reading for six essential tips to prolong the effects of your dermal fillers during winter, brought to you by Jeuje Aesthetics & Wellness.
What are Dermal Fillers?
A dermal filler is an injectable treatment that restores lost volume, treats deeper wrinkles and skin folds, and enhances facial contours.
Made from various substances, including hyaluronic acid (HA), these include types of dermal fillers specifically designed to treat different signs of aging or other cosmetic concerns.
FDA-approved and minimally invasive, they are a popular choice for individuals looking to rejuvenate their appearance without surgery.
6 Tips for Prolonging Dermal Fillers in Winter
Winter brings its own set of challenges for skin care, especially when you’re looking to maintain the splendid results of your dermal fillers.
Here are 6 essential tips to help you navigate the colder months and ensure that your fillers continue to provide the youthful, radiant look you love.
1 Stay Hydrated
Hyaluronic acid fillers thrive on hydration. During winter, the dry air can sap moisture from your skin, potentially impacting the longevity of your fillers.
Drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier can help maintain the necessary hydration levels in your skin.
2 Use Quality Skincare Products
Invest in high-quality skincare products that complement your fillers. Look for products rich in hyaluronic acid and other moisturizing ingredients. Avoid harsh, drying products that can strip your skin of its natural oils.
3 Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Even in winter, UV rays can cause damage. Sun exposure can accelerate the breakdown of fillers. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin and prolong the effects of your fillers.
4 Maintain a Healthy Diet
A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals supports skin health. Foods high in Vitamin C and E can particularly help in maintaining the skin’s radiance and enhancing the effects of your fillers.
5 Avoid Extreme Cold
Extreme cold can be harsh on your skin and may impact the longevity of your fillers. When outside in cold weather, cover your face as much as possible to protect it from the elements.
6 Regular Check-ups
Schedule regular follow-up appointments with Jeuje Aesthetics & Wellness. These check-ups allow your provider to assess the condition of your fillers and recommend touch-ups if necessary.
