Facial aging does not happen in just one way. You may notice lost volume in your cheeks, deeper folds around your mouth, uneven pigmentation, rougher texture, or a combination of changes. That is why choosing an aesthetic treatment should start with identifying the cause of your concern, not just what you see in the mirror.
At Premier Skin Clinic in Fort Collins, CO, our medically trained aesthetic providers evaluate your skin, facial structure, and goals to develop personalized treatment plans using research-backed technologies and injectables.
When Is Filler the Better Choice?
Dermal fillers primarily address changes related to volume and facial contours. As you age, your face naturally changes in fat distribution, bone structure, and soft tissue, which may contribute to flatter cheeks, deeper folds, or altered facial proportions.
Depending on your needs, strategically placed filler can restore volume, soften certain lines, or enhance areas such as your cheeks, lips, chin, and jawline. Premier Skin Clinic offers both hyaluronic acid fillers and collagen-stimulating options, so your treatment can be tailored to your specific concern rather than relying on one product for every patient.
When Does Laser Treatment Make More Sense?
If your concern is primarily your skin’s condition rather than lost volume, laser or light-based treatment may be more appropriate.
Premier Skin Clinic offers technologies that address concerns including sun damage, pigmentation, redness, fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged pores. For example, HALO® combines ablative and non-ablative wavelengths to address surface damage and deeper skin layers, while BBL treatments can target pigmentation and redness.
Laser treatments may also stimulate collagen remodeling, making them useful when your goal is to improve overall skin quality.
Why Combine Laser and Filler?
Sometimes facial aging involves both structural and skin-quality changes. Filler may restore or refine contours, but it does not resurface sun-damaged or uneven skin. Likewise, laser treatment can improve tone and texture without replacing significant lost facial volume.
Combining modalities allows your provider to address different contributors to aging rather than asking one treatment to do everything. Your treatments don’t need to happen during the same appointment; timing can be planned around your needs and goals.
