Dermal Fillers for Smile Lines: Your Complete Guide

A smile can be one of the most beautiful things about a person, allowing inner beauty to shine through and lighting up the entire face. But the more we smile, the more likely we are to see smile lines as we age. These fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth are a mark of a life well-lived, but at Beyond Skin Aesthetics in Columbus, Ohio, we understand that you may not enjoy their appearance. So, what can you do to ensure you feel as beautiful as you look when you smile? Dermal Fillers for smile lines may be your answer.

Dermal fillers are a perfect way to smooth out smile lines. They provide quick, natural-looking results that restore vitality and soften the wrinkles around your mouth. Smile lines are a natural part of aging, but they don’t have to define you. Today, we’ll discuss what dermal fillers are and which ones are best suited to treat your smile lines.

What Are Dermal Fillers?

Dermal fillers are injectable treatments that help diminish the appearance of lines and folds that develop with aging, such as smile lines. Our skin naturally loses elasticity as we age, leading to deeper lines around the mouth and nose.

Getting dermal fillers at Beyond Skin Aesthetics is quick, minimally invasive, and offers immediate, visible results. Popular options like Restylane and Juvederm are FDA-approved fillers recognized for their safety and effectiveness in smoothing wrinkles.

Both Restylane and Juvederm are made from hyaluronic acid, a compound produced in our bodies that helps maintain voluminous, elastic skin. When injected, hyaluronic acid boosts the volume of the skin, softening the appearance of smile lines and delivering refreshed, natural-looking results.

Best Fillers For Smile Lines

Hyaluronic acid(HA)fillers are most widely used to treat smile lines. They contribute to the reduction of wrinkles and fine lines and plump, volumize, and hydrate the skin in the area where smile lines occur.

HA fillers are perfect for treating smile lines. They’re widely tolerated and reliable, and skilled placement by our injectors at Beyond Skin Aesthetics can create a subtle and natural-looking more youthful look.

Beyond Skin Aesthetics offers fillers from two product lines that are the highest-quality, most effective fillers available for treating smile lines right now.

Restylane’s portfolio of fillers includes Restylane Defyne, Restylane Lyft, and Restylane Refyne. Each filler can address a different need. For example, Restylane Defyne is more commonly used for those seeking greater facial balance and symmetry, while Restylane Refyne is used to soften smile lines.

97% of patients using Restylane Defyne reported satisfaction in how balanced their face looked after 9 weeks using the product to treat smile lines, marionette lines, and the chin. Your Beyond Skin Aesthetics provider will work with you to pick one that best suits your treatment goals.

We also offer fillers from the Juvederm portfolio. Juvederm Vollure XC, Juvederm Ultra XC, and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC are all approved for treatment of moderate to severe smile lines, and Juvederm Ultra XC can also be used for lip augmentation.

From choosing the best filler brand to narrowing it down to one product, the Beyond Skin Aesthetics team is here for you every step of the way as you find the best filler for your smile lines.

Benefits of DERMAL Fillers for Smile Lines

Dermal fillers are an in-demand treatment, and one we love offering to our clients at Beyond Skin Aesthetics. Here are a few of our favorite benefits.

Immediate Visible Results

One of the key benefits of dermal fillers is how quickly they work. You’ll notice a reduction in your smile lines almost immediately, with final changes becoming apparent over a few weeks. This is especially appealing for those seeking quick, noticeable changes without a long recovery time.

Long-Lasting Effects

Although dermal fillers like Restylane and Juvederm aren’t permanent, their effects can last a significant amount of time. Depending on the specific filler used, as well as your skin type and lifestyle, results typically last between six months to a year. This translates to fewer touch-ups compared to other treatments, allowing the benefits of a single session to extend well into the future. For many, maintaining smooth, youthful-looking skin for an extended period is a major advantage.

Minimally Invasive Option

Dermal fillers allow you to turn back the clock on aging and achieve your aesthetic goals without surgery. Getting filler injections for smile lines is straightforward, requiring just a few small injections around the mouth area. Most sessions take less than one hour. With minimal recovery time, you can quickly return to your daily activities right after treatment.

Common FAQs

What are common filler options for smile lines, and how do they differ?

At Beyond Skin Aesthetics, we offer Restylane, Restylane Defyne, Restylane Lyft, and Restylane Refyne and Juvederm Vollure XC, Juvederm Ultra XC, and Juvederm Ultra Plus XC from the Juvederm portfolio. The two product lines differ the most in texture, consistency, and length. Juvederm may last slightly longer with some fillers.

When it comes to texture and consistency, Restylane may be better for providing lift while Juvederm may be better at smoothing wrinkles. However, this is not a one size fits all description of the strengths of these fillers. Decisions are made on a case by case basis.

The individual fillers differ based on their intended target area(for example, Juvederm Ultra XC is most commonly used for treating the lips but is approved for treatment of moderate to severe smile lines, how long they last, and intended aesthetic goals(facial balancing vs. smoothing wrinkles, for example).

How long do dermal filler treatments last?

Dermal filler treatments with Restylane and Juvederm last an average of six to 12 months. However, they can last as long as 18 months.

Are dermal filler treatments safe?

Yes, dermal filler treatments are safe when administered by a qualified provider. You may not be the best candidate for dermal fillers if you have other ongoing treatments, are on Accutane, or are pregnant or trying to get pregnant. Be sure to disclose any medical conditions to your Beyond Skin Aesthetics provider during your consultation.
