As the seasons change and we transition from summer into autumn, your skin may start to show signs of dehydration and volume loss, especially after months of sun exposure. Dermal fillers are an excellent way to restore lost volume, smooth out wrinkles, and rejuvenate your appearance, ensuring your skin looks youthful and refreshed as the cooler weather approaches.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that use hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the skin, to add volume and smooth out fine lines. They can be used to enhance facial features, restore lost volume, and address common signs of ageing, such as:
- Nasolabial folds (smile lines)
- Marionette lines
- Cheek volume loss
- Thin or uneven lips
- Jawline definition
Why Are Dermal Fillers Perfect for Autumn?
Autumn is the ideal time to focus on skin rejuvenation, especially after the sun and heat of summer have taken their toll. Dermal fillers can help restore moisture and volume to areas of the face that may have been affected by sun damage or dehydration. This treatment provides an instant lift, giving your skin a plumper, more youthful appearance just in time for the cooler months.
Customised Dermal Filler Treatments
At Carly Pearce Aesthetics, I believe in creating natural, subtle results that enhance your unique features. During your consultation, we can discuss your aesthetic goals and create a personalised treatment plan that targets specific areas of concern. Whether you’re looking to add volume to your cheeks, smooth out deep lines, or enhance your lips, dermal fillers can help you achieve a refreshed, natural look.
What to Expect from the Treatment
Dermal filler treatments usually take a few minutes with some results visible immediately. The results can improve with water attraction to the dermal filler for a glow and a few weeks may stimulate collagen production and soften the areas treated.
Your comfort is very important so all will be done to minimise your pain and ensure you are as comfortable as possible. The injections can be relatively painless, and you can expect minimal/some downtime. There may be some mild swelling or redness at the injection site, but this will subside within a few hours. You may potentially bruise when having fillers so it is best to plan around special events in case this were to happen
The effects of dermal fillers typically last between 6 to 18 months, depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism.
Don’t Put Away Your Sun Cream Just Yet!
As we head into autumn, it’s easy to think that your daily sun protection routine can take a back seat. But I can’t stress enough how important it is to continue wearing sun cream even when the sun isn’t shining brightly. In fact, wearing sun cream is one of the most crucial things you can do to protect your skin and maintain the results of your aesthetic treatments.
Even on cloudy or cooler days here in Littlehampton, West Sussex, harmful UV rays are still present and can penetrate the clouds. These rays are responsible for up to 80% of the visible signs of skin ageing, including fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Prolonged exposure can also lead to more serious skin concerns. By using a good quality broad-spectrum sun cream, you are actively preventing future damage and preserving the youthful appearance that treatments like dermal fillers provide.
Begin to think day like protection instead of sun light protection, that is why it is essential to use all year round.
Sun Cream: Your Best Partner for Healthy Skin
Think of sun cream as the foundation of your skincare routine, no matter the season. It acts as a shield, protecting your skin from the daily assault of UV radiation. I recommend applying a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning as the final step in your routine, even if you’re staying indoors. The visible light from our screens and windows can also contribute to skin ageing.
By making sun cream a non-negotiable part of your daily life, you are not just protecting your skin; you are investing in its long-term health and beauty. This simple step complements treatments like dermal fillers beautifully, helping to extend their effects and keep your skin looking its best.
