The holidays are a time when you’re supposed to make memories with your friends and family while taking part in joyous events. That said, it’s hard to be happy with the holiday photos when all you see are wrinkles, sunken cheeks, or lips that look like they might just disappear. Plenty of laser treatments help reduce the signs of aging, but you won’t have time to see the full effect until the holidays set in.

This is where hyaluronic acid fillers come in. This relatively non-invasive treatment can offer results within a few days, getting you ready just in time for the holidays. Read more to find out how they work and why they are an asset this festive season. 

The Basics of Hyaluronic Acid Fillers

Hyaluronic acid fillers are an injectable treatment used to reduce signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines, while adding volume. The most common fillers are made with hyaluronic acid for volume restoration, but you can also choose poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) formulas or calcium hydroxylapatite (CaHA) for collagen stimulation. It all depends on your skin type and goals.

Dermal fillers offer results that are subtle yet effective, so you can get more youthful features without having to resort to surgery. When performed by a professional, they highlight your natural features and create a balanced aesthetic.

Why Get Fillers Before the Holidays?

Whether you’re getting ready for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, or any other holiday, fillers can be transformative. Here’s how they can help:

1. Smoothing Out Smile Lines

The more you age, the simple act of laughing can lead to the formation of nasolabial folds, also known as smile lines. These can make you look tired, which is the last thing you want during the festive season. 

Dermal fillers have a gel-like formula that fills in the hollow areas or creases, offering a more youthful look without altering your features. For this reason, they are also quite effective in restoring volume to the cheeks and reducing marionette lines.

2. Enjoying Instant Results

Popular dermal fillers like JUVEDERM® or Evolysse offer results that are visible immediately after stepping out of the office. Indeed, you may have to wait a couple of days until the swelling subsides, but the gratification should be instant. 

Seeing as the holiday season can be quite busy, dermal fillers can get you ready without taking you through a lengthy recovery.

3. Healthy-Looking Skin

Hyaluronic acid fillers are made from a substance that occurs naturally in the body, reducing the intensity of side effects. These particles are drawn to moisture, attaching themselves and expanding to give you the desired volume. 

Treated areas tend to look more moisturized and radiant, adding even more to your youthful glow. Fillers like SKINVIVE™ are particularly designed to improve skin hydration, especially during the cold season.

4. Customizable Potential

Dermal fillers can be customized to get the effect that you want. They can restore structure to your jawline, reduce the size of your wrinkles and acne scars, and even rejuvenate your hands. 

They’re versatile and, when a skilled provider like Dr. Ariel Ostad administers them, the transition is very smooth. Plus, if you change your mind about the volume after getting them, HA fillers are also reversible with a substance called hyaluronidase. 

5. Long-Lasting Without Being Permanent

Some people wish to add extra volume or slightly change their features, but don’t want the results to be permanent. Unlike surgical solutions or even implants, dermal fillers are eventually dissolved and flushed out of the body. Still, they can last for six to 18 months, depending on the formula.
