Got Facial Fillers?

By Ricardo Gibson

Quick! Look in the mirror! Is your face becoming wrinkled? Did you know that every time you move a muscle within your face the skin becomes looser? All of that smiling, laughing, frowning, and squinting will take its toll if it has not already.

Make no mistake that age takes an effect on all of us. Welcome to life. Older men often look very handsome with their gray hair and wise wrinkled faces. Women are not so fortunate. If you are looking to fight back against the ravages of time, there is something you can do.

Facial fillers, also known as dermal fillers and injectables, are a form of plastic surgery that helps to get rid of those annoying lines almost permanently. Have you ever heard of Botox? Well, this is a type of facial filler that is quite popular due to its long lasting effects.

How popular are facial fillers? Very. Just look around you. How many women your age on television and among your peers seem to be aging very well? Guess why? Yep, facial fillers. The procedure is quick, simple, and relatively cheap.

Every medical procedure comes with risks. With facial fillers, the big risk is an allergic reaction. Fortunately, it is a risk that is easily dealt with. Your doctor will just run a skin allergy test before injecting you. If you pass, and most do, you are on your way.

As soon as you are done filling your face, you can simply get up and move on with your daily routine. Unlike other types of fillers, face fillers do not really require any amount of downtime. Also, you will be happy to know that your new face will stay intact for about one year following your treatment.

There is only one person that can tell you whether facial fillers are for you and that is you. If you are bothered by wrinkles and the appearance of your face, these fillers come with almost no risk and can make a huge difference.

So, what is this going to set me back financially? It is a reasonable question. The total cost per injection will be roughly $500. You will need to get one injection a year to maintain the look. $500 for no wrinkles? That seems like a fair deal to me.

If you want to get the most bang for your cosmetic surgery buck, it is hard to beat the facial filler procedure. It is safe, relatively cheap and has little recovery time. If there is another method for getting rid of wrinkles that beats it, I have yet to see it.
