Crows feet. Marionette lines. Parenthesis. Tear troughs. Fine lines and wrinkles come in a variety of names, but typically have one thing in common: they are often unwelcome, early signs of aging. No matter what you call them, you’d like your complexion to be free of them.
Dermal fillers provide a solution to aesthetic concerns related to aging skin. They restore smoothness and fullness, helping you regain your youthful complexion. Treatments are safe, effective, convenient, and enhance your existing anti-aging regimen.
David Alonso, MD, offers dermal filler treatments at Amour Medical Aesthetics, Inc., in the Chico, California Area. He understands the frustrations with physical signs of aging and specializes in using dermal fillers to help you look and feel your best.
As you age, you lose some of the subcutaneous fat between your facial skin and muscles, and your skin starts to stretch out. Genetics, sun exposure, and lifestyle habits like smoking can also contribute to decreased plumpness and looser skin. Even repeated facial expressions like squinting affect your skin’s resiliency.
Once these changes to your facial skin occur, you may notice more wrinkles and shallow areas of the skin. Creases around the lips and eyes can look more pronounced and the cheeks may seem more sunken.
Dermal fillers replace the plumpness your skin loses over time. They are injectable gel-like substances that fill the space beneath the skin and bring back your face’s youthful appearance.
There are many types of dermal fillers. Different formulations work best on specific areas of the face, but the variety of options means they can address a comprehensive list of anti-aging concerns.

Dr. Alonso administers dermal fillers during a brief office visit that can fit conveniently into your schedule. Depending on the number of areas to be treated, the procedure can last from 15 minutes to an hour.

Recovery time is minimal and you can resume normal daily activities right away, although Dr. Alonso may recommend that you avoid strenuous activities for a day or two.
You’ll see the results from your injections immediately and they can last from several months to years. Your face will appear smoother and regain the plumpness and fullness that is usually associated with a healthy, youthful complexion.
If you want to maximize your results, you should maintain a healthy lifestyle. Dermal fillers work best in conjunction with your regular anti-aging skin care regimen, so make sure to continue good skin care habits including:
