Aging is a natural process that you can’t avoid. At some point, you’ll likely start to see fine lines or a loss of elasticity in your skin. Fortunately, there are options for restoring a more youthful appearance.
Dermal fillers can serve as your go-to, buoying a loss of elasticity and filling in deep-set lines. Read on to find out how these revolutionary products can help you.
What Are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are injectables that can be strategically placed in areas of the face and neck to fill deep-set lines and restore fullness. Most dermal fillers are made from hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in the body that helps skin appear supple, smooth, and hydrated.
When injected strategically into the face or neck, dermal fillers can fill out hollow areas, restoring a fresh, hydrated appearance. Some fillers may even stimulate the production of collagen. Natural collagen helps boost cellular turnover, which brightens the skin, helps scars fade, and promotes smoother texture.
The most common types of dermal fillers include Juvéderm and Restylane. Both fillers have different properties that make them appropriate for anti-aging and other skin concerns.
What Issues Can Juvéderm Address?
Juvéderm and its various formulations can address a wide range of concerns that include:
Volume
Individuals seeking added volume to round out hollowed areas in the skin will appreciate Juvéderm. It can fill in lost volume in the chin and cheeks, as well as on the upper area of the cheekbone.
For those seeking a plumper appearance to their lips, Juvéderm can provide volume enhancement and fill out thin vertical lines that often appear as a result of smoking or genetics.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
You can’t avoid fine lines and wrinkles. They can appear as the result of natural facial expressions made consistently over time, or they may appear as part of the aging process.
While neuromodulators such as Botox are often recommended for expression lines on the forehead, Juvéderm can resolve deep-set wrinkles in the areas between the eyes and jaw.
Commonly addressed treatment areas using dermal fillers include “parentheses” that form around the nose and mouth, also known as nasolabial folds. Juvéderm can also fill in hollow areas beneath the eyes in the tear trough area.
The team at Beach Cities Vein & Laser Center in El Segundo, CA, consists of trained injection professionals who can recommend the best combination of fillers to achieve your goals.
What Are the Benefits of Fillers?
Dermal fillers offer numerous benefits, especially when our skilled injector team artfully uses them.
Instantaneous Results
You won’t be waiting for weeks to see the results of dermal fillers. Directly after your appointment, you’ll see an increase in volume and reduction of fine lines and wrinkles with the assistance of Juvéderm. The quick results are one of the reasons why dermal fillers are some of the most commonly requested cosmetic treatments in the world.
Long-Lasting
Juvéderm results can last from six months to two years, depending on the formulation used and the areas treated. The long-lasting effects are beneficial for busy people who don’t have time to spend in the doctor’s office every few months.
In addition, if you’re not totally satisfied with how your fillers look, they can be reversed in a simple, straightforward procedure.
A Visit from the Fountain of Youth
While we can’t claim that using fillers will work miracles, they do restore a youthful appearance that creams and serums can’t achieve on their own. Most patients are happy with the look they acquire from using dermal fillers.
Quick Procedure
Undergoing a dermal filler treatment is quick. It usually takes less than half an hour and can be completed over a short lunch break. This ultra-quick process is helpful for individuals who don’t have much extra time in their schedules.
No Downtime
While a facelift or other cosmetic surgery can assist in your anti-aging efforts, each comes with a lengthy recovery period. It may take weeks before you feel comfortable stepping outside following a facelift.
Fillers can provide you with similar anti-aging benefits with no recovery period necessary.
What Happens During a Dermal Filler Treatment?
Before undergoing a dermal filler treatment, you’ll meet with one of our skilled staff members for a full consultation. We’ll discuss your treatment goals to understand the look you want to achieve with the use of fillers.
Based on the details you provide, we’ll design an appropriate plan that may involve a combination of dermal fillers and other treatments. Be prepared to provide us with your medical history and a list of medications you’re taking so we can ensure that you’re a good candidate for fillers.
On the day of your appointment, we’ll thoroughly cleanse the area where the injections will be applied. Next, we’ll inject the fillers into the designated sites to obtain the look you’re seeking. The entire appointment should last less than half an hour.
Following your treatment, you’ll be given a list of aftercare instructions before being released to return to your regular activities.
While results last a relatively long time, expect to require maintenance treatments at specific intervals to maintain your results.

At Beach Cities Vein & Laser Center in El Segundo, CA, we offer a variety of dermal fillers, including Juvéderm, to treat areas of the face and neck.

Amazing job

Category: vein treatmentsOk so I know I left a review before, but I’m at the gym working out right now and I see my legs in the mirror, particularly the right leg, and all I can say is DAMN, MY LEG LOOKS SO GREAT! And all that vascular pain from standing and working behind a salon chair is GONE!!! Thank you again Dr. Raymond and everyone at Beach Cities Vein and Vascular Center! I’m so happy with everything you did and it was worth every penny. To me, you did the impossible, and I’m so not kidding. I had been to two other vein “specialists” over the last 15 years they didn’t even come close to what Dr. Raymond could do. So again thank you!
Fantastic

Look No Further than Doctor Rayman!

Category: vein treatmentsAt age 29, I had a growing varicose vein on my ankle that made me feel so insecure and like everyone was looking at my “monster vein” (lol). I was about to turn 30 in a few months so I started looking up places to help me get rid of my unsightly vein. When I found this site online I immediately made an appointment. I was excited, but also very nervous as I have never had any sort of medical procedure before. However, once i got to the office everyone is SO kind and quick to answer any questions, I felt like I really made the right choice with Dr. Rayman. Marlene was with me through a lot of my appointments, doing my ultrasounds and pictures-she does a great job and is so sweet! Dr. Rayman is one of the nicest doctors I have met. He immediately made me feel comfortable not only due to his extensive knowledge but also due to the fact that he really cared about me, my issue and how to fix it. We went with the Endovenous Laser Treatment to treat the core problem of my “monster vein”. The procedure itself was relatively quick and definitely painless as my leg was completely numb! For me, as someone who gets grossed out easily, it was a mental game of not thinking too much about the procedure as it was happening lol! My mom was allowed to be in the room with me, I got to pick my favorite music, and honestly we all chatted the whole time. I went back for my second procedure, which was the injections into my soon-to-be-gone monster vein. This was also pretty painless for me besides some mild burning sensations initially after the injections. I wore the compression socks as directed and personally had no trouble with them. I had a little bit of a numb sensation where we did the EVLT, but that faded with time and I feel totally normal again. I just went back for 6 month check up appointment, and my monster vein is gone!!! I’m so incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Rayman and his team are so good at what they do, so kind, and SO WORTH IT. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed!
Excellent Experience!

Category: vein treatmentsYOUR SEARCH IS OVER! This review will be helpful to those who have delayed doing something about their varicose veins because of fear. If you are scared of needles, traumatized from past surgical procedures, and burdened by years of daily reminders of having painful, bothersome, and tired legs due to varicose veins, you do not need to worry anymore, nor do you need to suffer any longer from the physical and emotional pains that come with varicose veins thanks to Dr. Rayman and his exceptional medical practice. A bit of background: I had surgery 8 years ago by a surgeon to address varicose veins in my right leg -- a "real" surgery in a hospital operating room, with full general anesthesia. Not only were the surgery and its after effects painful and long lasting (including nerve damage), even more varicose veins started popping up about a couple years later. Due to that bad experience, I decided I would NEVER do anything about my varicose veins again, and that I was destined to live with the pain, discomfort, and ugliness. Fast forward 8 years, and the discomfort/pain, heaviness/throbbing, etc. were really getting to be a daily issue. Even people were coming up to me asking if my legs were hurting, because they looked like they felt! So I decided to do my due diligence and started to do a lot of research online (medical conditions, procedures, and various doctors). Thanks to Yelp, I found Dr. Rayman!! Being a bit gun shy, I called his office twice with tons of questions, and then proceeded to see him for TWO consultations (with my notepad full of questions). Each time, and with every interaction I had with him and his staff , I felt more and more at ease. Dr. Rayman showed me with the ultrasound exactly what my veins were doing and not doing. (And low and behold, the vein that was supposedly tied off 8 years ago was still there, bad as ever.) He and each one of his staff received me and my zillion questions with such respect, patience, compassion, and professionalism. Three weeks after my consultations, I had my radiofrequency ablation (RFA) done! Dr. Rayman and his staff are great, but I think they are able to show their personal best when actually performing the procedure -- during the procedure, there was wonderful bedside manner, nice music playing, excellent communication between doctor and patient and assistants, and obvious skill and confidence. Being embarrassingly afraid of needles, I must say it was really fine! I wanted to hug him when it was over, he was that great and showed that much care! I also appreciate his practical tips on how to distract myself when he was administering the numbing medication!! And considering it's just 3 days after my procedure and I've already made my appointment for Dr. Rayman to do my left leg (same condition), you've got to know that I'm completely satisfied, comfortable, and grateful. I told him, "Dr. Rayman, thank you for doing what you do!!!!"
