Dermal Filler for Accordion Lines
Dermal fillers are an injectable treatment used to address signs of ageing, such as wrinkles and folds. These treatments are composed of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance in the skin that adds volume and plumpness. In addition, dermal fillers can be used to fill in and even out the appearance of accordion lines, restoring a smoother, more youthful look.
What are Accordion Lines?
Accordion lines are wrinkles or folds that form around the mouth, nose, and chin due to repetitive facial movements and are more vertical in shape. These lines can make a face look older and more tired. Fortunately, dermal fillers are an effective way to reduce their appearance and restore a more youthful look to the face. The lines are further outward on the face than the nasolabial folds, the lines from the nose down to the corners of the mouth. Nasolabial folds can also be treated with dermal filler.
What are the Benefits of Dermal Fillers for Accordion Lines?
Dermal fillers address accordion lines by filling them in and adding volume to the skin. The hyaluronic acid in dermal fillers adds plumpness and fullness to the skin, restoring a smoother, more youthful look. The results from dermal filler treatments are immediate and can last several months to a year with periodic touch-up treatments.
How Do You Treat Accordion Lines?
Before treatment, you will discuss your goals and expectations, and you should be advised if the dermal filler is suitable for you and how much filler you need based on the severity of your accordion lines. The provider will inject the dermal filler into the affected areas using a fine needle or cannula during treatment. This procedure is minimally invasive and takes only a few minutes to complete. After treatment, there is typically no downtime required; however, you should avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours.
Dermal fillers are an ideal choice for those who wish to reduce the appearance of wrinkles without undergoing surgery. Furthermore, treating the accordion lines in the lower face early will prevent future damage, as once lines become moderately to severely deep, they become challenging to treat.
In summary, dermal fillers are an effective way to reduce the appearance of accordion lines and restore a more youthful look to the face. Treatment is quick, and the results can last several months to a year with periodic touch-up treatments.
