Start the New Year with a Fresh Face Thanks to Fillers

When people think about the effects of aging, their mind often goes to one cosmetic impact: wrinkles. But folds in your skin certainly aren’t the only thing that can make you look older. Thin lips, sunken cheeks, and hollow under eyes can all age you just as fast as wrinkles. 

If you’re personally experiencing the unwelcome effects of the volume loss that happens over the years, we can help. Come see Matthew W. Shawl, MD, and our team. Here at our Union Square office in New York City, we offer a convenient, effective way to freshen your face: fillers. 

What dermal fillers can do for you

As you get older, your face changes in quite a few ways. That extends beyond how your skin looks to what’s going on underneath. Through the years, the fat in your face loses volume. 

When you think about a fresh, young-looking face, it probably has soft curves. The fat in your face helps to create those contours. As your face loses volume, your youthful glow fades.

But this change doesn’t have to be permanent. Fillers give you a way to restore volume so you can take on 2025 with a fresh face. Dr. Shawl and our team use fillers to:

• Fill in hollow cheeks
• Plump thinning lips
• Soften creases in the lower portion of your face
• Alleviate hollow under eyes

In other words, if you’re looking for a way to refresh your appearance for the new year, fillers absolutely deliver. 

What to expect with fillers: treatment and downtime

As an added benefit, getting fillers is a convenient treatment with minimal downtime.

The process starts when you talk with Dr. Shawl about your cosmetic goals. This allows him to tailor treatment to you by applying the right amount of filler in the right location(s). 

Once you’re ready to get started, Dr. Shawl first cleans the target area. He can also apply a numbing agent if you’re worried about discomfort from the injection. He then applies the filler via injection and massages it into the area. 

You can continue on with your day immediately after your appointment. You might have some redness, but it should fade quickly. The benefits of your filler should be noticeable right away.

Fillers can last a year or longer, helping you maintain your fresh face throughout 2025. Whenever you want to replenish volume or add contour, you can always come back to Dr. Shawl. He helps you maintain your filler results so you can continually put your best face forward.
