Aging has its perks! Most of us gain a sense of perspective that helps us understand what’s important for our lives. We step out of the rush-rush-rush of our younger years, and instead start enjoying our time. And who are we kidding—those discounts we get rock!
However, aging also causes collagen loss. The fact is, our bodies make (among other things) about 1% less collagen per year starting around the age of 30. By the time we’re 50, we’ve lost 1/5 or more of our collagen. And it’s collagen that keeps our skin lifted, elastic, and more youthful looking.
Dermal filler in Sarasota replenishes lost volume wherever you need it! At Florida Lakes Spa, our team of expert injectors can place dermal fillers in your face, neck, and even your hands to help turn back the hands of time.
Check out the top 5 ways our patients benefit from dermal fillers, and schedule a consultation so we can help you discover how you can add another perk to the aging process.
Fulfilling Goals With Dermal Filler
In Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch, and our surrounding communities, women and men enjoy the benefits of dermal fillers. Our younger patients also love what dermal filler can do to accentuate their features for an enhanced yet natural look.
1. Erasing Wrinkles
Dermal filler can do an amazing job of erasing fine lines and wrinkles. Part of the issue that creates these wrinkles involves volume loss. As our natural fat pads diminish along with a loss of collagen, skin becomes thinner, less elastic, and saggy. This drooping quality contributes to the appearance of folds and creases.
Utilizing dermal filler in Sarasota, your Florida Lakes provider can replenish lost volume in several areas, including:
- Under the eyes
- Back of the hands
- Around the mouth
- Along the nasolabial folds
- In the cheeks
- At the temples
- On the neck
Dermal fillers plump the skin in these areas to erase lines and wrinkles, make tendons/veins/bones less visible, and give your skin a more youthful appearance.

2. Facial Sculpting
Our expert injectors can strategically place your dermal filler to enhance the natural contours of your face. This nonsurgical technique can create a more harmonious profile and refined look.
Because we can customize our filler options to fit your needs, you can target specific facial areas to achieve a sculpted, refreshed appearance that doesn’t require scalpels, scarring, or long downtimes.
Here are 5 of the most common facial areas our Sarasota patients like to have contoured:
Chin
Through the use of dermal fillers, a weak chin can be strengthened by adding volume to the chin. This can increase its length, width, or both.
Jawline
When your Florida Lakes Spa injector places the dermal filler beneath the skin in your jaw, it can help to widen, deepen, or lengthen the appearance of your jawline. This can:
- Reduce sagging (jowling)
- Give your jaw a more masculine presence
- Provide a balanced base for the rest of your features
Cheeks
Your cheeks set the stage for your eyes, and they complete the triangle of left cheek/right cheek/chin. When these are balanced and have good presence, they make a person’s face appear more youthful and healthy.
Our dermal filler in Sarasota can provide several aesthetic benefits for your cheeks:
- Add volume to erase gauntness
- Balance these features with the rest of your face
- Give cheekbones a more pronounced, sculpted appearance
- Erase lines and winkles
Under Eyes
Placing dermal filler in your under eye area can accomplish “eye opening” results, including:
- Reduced dark circles
- Diminished puffiness
- Brighter skin
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- More youthful look
- Reduced “sunken eye” appearance
With dermal filler in Sarasota, we can fill in the under eye area to achieve a more refreshed, well-rested appearance.
Temples
With age or extreme weight reduction, we can suffer volume loss at our temples. When the temples take on a more sunken, concave appearance, it can make a person look tired, unhealthy, or even unhappy.
Our dermal filler can address that volume loss, eliminating the hollow appearance and peeling back the years. It can also help people who already have prominent cheekbones, returning balance and fullness for a more youthful appeal.

3. Feature Balance
Your eyebrows and forehead don’t make up your whole face. Neither do your cheeks (no matter how adorable they are).
Your features work together to create a whole. We recognize that and use dermal filler in Sarasota to achieve symmetry that accentuates your best features for a harmonious appearance.
Liquid Rhinoplasty
Rhinoplasty involves a surgical procedure to reshape the nose and its surrounding area. At Florida Lakes Spa, we can provide similar enhancement without surgery, recovery, or scarring!
We call it “liquid rhinoplasty,” an aesthetic procedure where dermal filler adds volume to your nose and/or the surrounding area. This process can accomplish several benefits, including:
- Enhancing the tip of the nose.
- Smoothing out bumps.
- Adding volume to a flat nasal bridge.
- Straightening the appearance of a slightly crooked nose.
Addressing Nasolabial Folds
The point where your cheeks meet your mouth can deepen and become more apparent as we lose volume over the years. This increases the appearance of nasolabial folds—aka smile lines. These are the crevices that stretch from the corner of your mouth to the top of your nostrils.
The volume loss can also cause skin to sag, increasing the appearance of lines and wrinkles while adding a haggard nuance to the face. It also makes the nose more prominent as the area around it recedes.
Our dermal filler injections can replenish volume in this area, reducing the appearance of nasolabial folds while also addressing sagging and wrinkles. It creates a younger look while promoting collagen production for longer-term benefits.
Your Earlobes Too
The aesthetic changes that aging brings on can even affect the earlobes! As we grow older, these earring-canvases can start to sag and look wrinkled and “baggy.”
Expertly placed dermal filler can gently plump your earlobes to smooth out those creases for all-around feature balance.
4. Lip Augmentation
Your lips speak volumes, figuratively and literally. From kisses to speeches, smiles to frowns, they communicate so much. According to research, your mouth is the most relevant feature to express happiness!
Full, developed lips help to frame a smile and can add a dimension of attraction. Watch your favorite romantic movies—when they start glancing at the lips, somebody’s going to get kissed!
Using dermal filler in Sarasota, you can accentuate not only the fullness of your lips, but their shape too. Results can include:
- Restoring volume to “thin” lips.
- Adding definition to the Cupid’s bow (upper lip arch).
- Lifting drooping corners.
- Smoothing perioral wrinkles (“barcodes”).
- Addressing asymmetry between upper and lower lips.
At Florida Lakes Spa, we specialize in natural-looking enhancement. We won’t over-plump lips or make you have that “duck face” look. Instead, your results will enhance your natural features for improved aesthetics and a look you’ll love—which, by the way, everyone else will love too.
5. Skin Rejuvenation
The hyaluronic acid that forms the foundation of our dermal fillers has the added benefit of promoting collagen production in the treatment area. Even after your body has metabolized the filler, the renewed collagen and elastin content continues to deliver healthy, youthful results.
Along with improving collagen production, smoothing wrinkles, and addressing symmetry concerns, our dermal filler helps with two other unique issues.
Acne Scarring
It’s a sad but true fact: 95% of people who have active acne will end up with some form of scarring. Our dermal filler injections can lift skin, reducing the appearance of atrophic scarring while also improving skin tone and texture.
Sunken Hand Skin
With all the attention we pay to our face and neck, we can neglect the volume loss that happens to our hands. Collagen loss occurs there, too, sometimes lending a shrunken or shriveled look. Dermal filler in Sarasota can help restore plumpness and volume, lifting the skin on the back of the hands so that tendons, bones, veins, lines, and creases aren’t as visible.
