The Best Cosmetic Fillers for the Fall Season

The Best Cosmetic Fillers for the Fall Season

Cosmetic Fillers | Are You Ready for the Holiday Season?

cosmetic fillers for Fall

With its warm, golden colors and cool weather, Fall gives us plenty to enjoy before the world slows down for winter.

After summer, many people are bothered by issues like sun spots, wrinkles, and volume loss from being active out in the sun.

But life moves faster as the days grow shorter, leaving many people pressed for time during the Fall season with no time to dedicate to cosmetic procedures.

What they don’t realize, however, is that multiple lunch-time procedures offer a quick remedy with little to no downtime.

Dermal fillers are a non-invasive way to turn back the hands of time and look younger even as the weather turns.

What Are Dermal Cosmetic Fillers and Injectables?

Simply put, dermal fillers are injectable substances that are used to fill and rejuvenate the face.

Fillers are incredibly versatile, can be used in nearly any area, tolerated well by almost all patients, and easy to administer.

Why Is Fall a Good Time for Fillers?

Fast Treatments, Quick Results

Fall is a busy time of year for most of us, and it can be hard to take care of yourself.

Filler treatments, however, make it easy for anyone to enjoy a little boost of rejuvenation.

Most fillers are quickly administered, with treatments often taking minutes to complete.

All it takes is a simple med spa visit for patients to leave with visibly smoother skin or uplifted feature; and little to no side effects in return.

Shorter Days, Less Sun Exposure

One advantage cosmetic fillers have over other cosmetic treatments is that they don’t cause many side effects or require a long healing time.

But treated areas do require some special care; particularly when it comes to avoiding the sun.

Fortunately, fall makes it easier to avoid the sun’s damaging rays as days start to get shorter.

We simply have less sun to deal with, making fall a good time to consider getting a filler treatment while still enjoying the beautiful weather!

Consistency is Key

Cosmetic fillers provide results that can last a very long time, but rarely permanently. Most fillers will require a repeat visit to keep up results. Consistent and regular treatments are the best way to get optimal improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Stretch Marks

Do stretch marks hurt?

Stretch marks are not painful or harmful, but can sometimes be uncomfortable.  Stretch marks are often unsightly and many patients confess to feeling insecure about others noticing these imperfections.

What causes stretch marks?

Stretch marks are caused by overstretching of the skin making elastic fibers found on the dermis to lose elasticity.

Can you get stretch marks from losing weight?

Rapid weight loss can lead to the formation of stretch marks or make existing ones more noticeable.

Where do stretch marks from growing come from?

Abrupt changes (as experienced in growth) cause elastin and collagen to rupture. These are the structures that support the skin hence; and consequentially stretch marks develop.

What causes stretch marks on the buttocks?

Stretch marks on the buttocks occur when collagen ruptures, especially due to a rapid increase in weight.

Do stretch marks go away?

Stretch marks are irreversible and permanent. However, certain aspects (such as cosmetic procedures) make them less noticeable.

Collagen in cosmetic treatments is a miracle worker. While the protein may not be able to eliminate stretch marks completely, it makes them less visible.
