As part of the natural aging process, loss of collagen, elastin and facial volume can cause these lines to become more pronounced. Dermal filler can help soften, by restoring lost volume and providing support to surrounding tissues. Carefully placed filler smooths the area, improves facial balance and helps create a more refreshed appearance.
Smile lines are a natural part of the facial anatomy. And they’re not only from aging- they can also be more prominent due to genetics, how strong some people’s facial expressions may be, lifestyle factors- such as significant weight fluctuation, sun exposure, smoking and dehydration.
And while these lines are natural and a normal feature, aesthetic treatments can help soften their appearance and create a more rejuvenated look.
