Chin Fillers Explained: Your Guide to Dermal Filler Treatment

Over recent years, there’s been a substantial rise in surgical and non-surgical procedures aimed at reducing the effects of aging. From 2015 to 2019, the use of injectables increased by nearly 18% and estimates project a remarkable increase in aesthetic procedures by 2030 compared to previous years. As the demand for non-surgical treatments to counteract the signs of aging is expected to keep rising, chin fillers have become increasingly popular. These injections change the structure of the chin, enhancing the jawline to reveal a more youthful look.

At Aesthetic Associates Centre, our MedSpa team offers a wide variety of non-invasive, non-surgical procedures to reverse the signs of aging and achieve a softer, more youthful appearance.

Why Choose Dermal Chin Fillers?

As we grow older, multiple internal and external factors play roles in the aging of our skin. Over time, the layers of our skin begin to thin, causing wounds to take longer to heal, increased fragility, and decreased cell turnover. This thinning also reduces the production of collagen and supportive proteins, impacting structure and volume.

Intrinsic factors, like natural aging processes, combined with external influences such as radiation, smoking, or alcohol consumption, can lead to reduced skin elasticity. Excess skin can create jowls in the lower face, while gradual jawbone loss reduces the chin’s projection.

Dermal chin fillers are injected into the soft tissues of the chin to revive a more youthful look. They can strengthen the look of the chin and jaw, add volume to correct the profile, enhance facial symmetry, and reduce the appearance of a cleft chin.

Chin filler is an alternative to surgical interventions, like chin implant surgery, making it an ideal treatment for those looking to rejuvenate and bolster the chin without undergoing more invasive treatment.

Dermal Fillers Explained

Non-surgical dermal fillers offer a temporary, non-invasive, yet effective means to enhance jawline contour. Various fillers provide different levels of permanence and elasticity to the skin and can provide different results depending on cosmetic concerns. At the Aesthetic Associates Centre, we use cruelty-free and vegan FDA-approved injectables, including JUVÉDERM®, Restylane®, and Sculptra®.

JUVÉDERM and Restylane are hyaluronic acid dermal fillers well-suited for mild to moderate loss of facial contour, volume, and elasticity. These fillers are crafted with hyaluronic acid, a sugar naturally produced by the body that retains moisture in the skin. This helps to restore volume loss in certain areas of the face. Because these fillers consist of a substance that occurs naturally in the body, they are biocompatible and reduce the likelihood of allergic reactions. JUVÉDERM has a smooth, gel-like consistency, while Restylane is a granular gel. This leads to different behaviors upon injection. JUVÉDERM diffuses quickly into tissues, whereas Restylane remains more cohesive and stays in the injected area. Results from both fillers usually last between six to 18 months.

Sculptra consists of a gel-like compound composed of poly-L-lactic acid. Much like JUVÉDERM and Restylane, this filler enhances the fullness and smoothness of the skin. Acting as a collagen stimulator, poly-L-lactic acid absorbs into the body shortly after treatment, prompting cells to boost collagen production. Collagen, a crucial protein found in skin, connective tissues, bones, and cartilage, delivers essential structural support and strength. Sculptra can be injected into creases and dimples in the chin, retaining results for up to 2 years.

A Simpler Way to Transform Your Skin

Before undergoing chin filler treatments, a consultation with our skilled MedSpa team is essential. During this session, we will delve into your concerns, objectives, and questions while assessing your facial structure to devise the most suitable treatment plan. We will review the details and explain the process for chin filler treatment.

The Procedure

First, we begin by cleaning the area of the injection. Afterward, we will apply a topical anesthetic to the treatment zone to minimize discomfort. We then use a fine needle for precise injections into the chin area. After the treatment, patients typically return to their daily activities. Mild swelling or redness might occur, but this typically subsides within a few days.

One of the key advantages of this minimally invasive treatment is the immediacy of the results. After your treatment, you will notice evident yet natural enhancement from your chin filler, with final results appearing in a couple of weeks.
