Our skin undergoes significant changes as we age—losing elasticity, hydration, and volume. For those looking to refresh their appearance while maintaining a natural look, dermal fillers have become a popular and effective solution. According to experts, choosing the right filler tailored to mature skin is key to achieving the best results. Dr. J.J. Wendel offers insights into the most effective options.
Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers are among the most versatile and widely used fillers for mature skin. Hyaluronic acid fillers like Juvéderm, Restylane, Belotero, and RHA are excellent options due to their ability to provide a synergistic approach to achieving the best natural cosmetic appearance.
Mature skin tends to thin and dry out as we age, which is why HA fillers come in various densities and thicknesses, allowing for customization based on individual needs. These fillers also attract water, helping to improve dry, scaly areas like the lower lip while restoring lost volume.
While HA fillers offer immediate hydration and plumping effects, some patients may benefit more from Sculptra, a bio-stimulator filler. Mature skin tends to do better with Sculptra since it helps thicken thinning tissue, but it also creates a beautiful glow and can enhance facial shaping. Unlike traditional fillers that provide instant volume, Sculptra works by stimulating collagen production over time, offering a gradual and long-lasting improvement in skin texture, firmness, and radiance.
When considering fillers for mature skin, a consultation with an experienced provider is crucial. Factors such as skin type, volume loss, hydration levels, and desired results will determine the most suitable option. Whether opting for hyaluronic acid fillers for their immediate plumping effects or Sculptra for its collagen-boosting properties, the goal remains the same: to restore a youthful, refreshed appearance while maintaining natural beauty.
