How to Ensure Natural-Looking Filler Results

Each year, over 1 million people get dermal fillers. It’s not hard to understand why they retain their popularity year after year. The cosmetic injections contain gel-like substances that plump up your skin, giving it a youthful and supple glow. 

However, many people still shy away from fillers for fear of looking unnatural. Though these injections can look unnatural, it’s not a very common occurrence. Achieving those desired, natural-looking results just takes a little bit of effort on your part. 

At Atlas Health Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, our team offers a variety of aesthetic services that can rejuvenate your complexion, including fillers. 

If you’ve been hesitant to get fillers due to fear of unsatisfactory results, here are some tips for how to get stunning results that accentuate your natural appearance. 

How do fillers work?

Before diving into how to get natural results from your fillers, it’s helpful to first understand how they work. 

Fillers are cosmetic injections that consist of hyaluronic acid or a similar gel-like liquid. The substance is injected under your skin in order to smooth out any wrinkles or plump up areas that might be thinning or sagging. 

It’s important to understand that fillers differ from Botox®. While Botox injections address signs of aging by freezing muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, fillers rejuvenate aging complexions by adding volume and fullness. 

You can use fillers to address unwanted wrinkles and skin folds, increase fullness to thin lips and cheeks, minimize under-eye circles, correct facial imbalances, and smooth out scarring and skin texture. 

Getting natural results from your fillers

To get optimal results from your filler injections, you need to follow these guidelines:

Choose a qualified provider 

Never get any type of cosmetic injection from places that are cheap and don’t have any licensed professionals. At Atlas Health Institute, our team has the training and experience needed to know how much filler to use and where to place it. 

Follow after-care instructions

To avoid severe swelling and other adverse side effects, don’t rub or massage the treatment area for at least 24-48 hours. In addition, you need to avoid excess sun exposure, vigorous exercise, and sleeping on your side or stomach for a few days after your injections. 

Prioritize effective skincare

Even though fillers can transform your skin, practicing good skincare will elevate your results and make them last even longer. Include a high-quality sunscreen, cleanser, and moisturizer to keep your skin looking smooth and hydrated. 

Include healthy lifestyle habits

Skin aging can be accelerated by poor habits such as smoking, eating excessive amounts of sugar, not managing stress levels, not getting enough sleep, and not drinking enough water. The more your skin ages, the less natural your filler results will be, so practice healthy habits whenever you can for healthy skin and long-lasting fillers.
