You may notice friends getting cosmetic treatments in their 20s while others wait until their 40s or later, which can leave you wondering when you should start. With dermal fillers, age is only part of the picture, and the right timing depends largely on what you want to improve.
At Great Lakes Health & Wellness in Downriver, MI, Dr. Anne Abrahamson and Dr. Jensen Swampillai are board-certified Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation specialists with extensive medical training and experience with injection-based treatments. Our Wyandotte office also serves Grosse Ile and nearby communities.
What Is the Best Age to Start Dermal Fillers?
There is no set age for starting dermal fillers. Your reasons for considering treatment can change at different stages of life:
- In your 20s: Fillers may be used for subtle cosmetic enhancement, such as adding lip volume, enhancing facial contours, or improving symmetry. Starting in your 20s does not mean you need ongoing treatments for life.
- In your 30s and 40s: Gradual volume loss may become more noticeable in the cheeks and other areas. Fillers can restore volume, soften certain lines and folds, and enhance changing facial contours.
- In your 50s and beyond: Fillers may help restore lost facial volume, soften deeper folds, and add definition to certain areas. Your skin quality, facial structure, medical history, and goals matter more than age alone.
How Do You Know When It Is Time for Fillers?
Instead of choosing fillers because you have reached a certain age, think about what you actually want to change. You may be ready to explore treatment when lost volume, facial folds, or certain contours begin to bother you.
A consultation lets us assess your facial features, discuss your concerns, and explain which filler options may suit your goals.
