As the demand for minimally invasive cosmetic treatments continues to rise, injectables have become a cornerstone of aesthetic medicine. At Zinnia Aesthetics and Anti-Aging Clinic, led by Dr. Anteneh Roba, MD, we’ve observed significant shifts in patient preferences, particularly when it comes to fillers and neuromodulators like Botox and Xeomin.
Filler Preferences by Age: Understanding the Trends
The world of dermal fillers is evolving, not only in terms of technology but also in how patients across different age groups use these treatments. Here’s a closer look at the trends:
In Their 20s and 30s: Prevention and Enhancement
For women in their 20s and 30s, injectables often serve as preventive and enhancement tools:
- Botox: Dynamic wrinkles—caused by repeated muscle movements such as frowning or smiling—are common in areas like the forehead and around the eyes (crow’s feet). Botox is used strategically to soften these lines and prevent them from becoming deeper over time.
- Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: This age group increasingly seeks fillers to enhance their natural beauty. Lip augmentation, contouring cheekbones, and reducing under-eye hollows are popular treatments. These procedures are subtle and aim to maintain a youthful, refreshed look.
In Their 40s and 50s: Rejuvenation and Correction
As the skin’s natural collagen production decreases, patients in their 40s and 50s often look for solutions to restore volume and reduce visible signs of aging:
- Botox: In addition to preventive use, Botox is employed to address deeper lines and wrinkles, helping to achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.
- Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers: Fillers like Sculptra, Radiesse and Bellafill are gaining popularity in this age group. These treatments stimulate collagen production, offering longer-lasting results and addressing concerns like nasolabial folds, marionette lines, and sagging skin.
- Radiofrequency microneedling with or without PRP/Exosomes
- Laser/IPL Treatment
- Skin tightening procedures like, thermitight, thermismooth, Radiofrequency plasma technology
In Their 60s and Beyond: Comprehensive Rejuvenation
For women in their 60s and older, injectables can play a key role in a comprehensive anti-aging strategy:
- Botox: Wrinkle reduction remains a priority, with Botox effectively minimizing fine lines and dynamic wrinkles.
- Fillers: Restoring lost volume is essential. Fillers can improve facial contours and skin texture, addressing concerns like hollow cheeks and thinning skin.
- Combination Treatments: At this stage, injectables are often combined with other rejuvenation procedures for optimal results, providing a more comprehensive and natural-looking transformation.
Why the Shift Toward Non-Hyaluronic Acid Fillers?
Patients in their 40s and 50s are increasingly opting for Bellafill, Sculptra and Radiesse, and there are several reasons for this trend:
- Collagen Stimulation: Unlike hyaluronic acid fillers, which add volume immediately, non-hyaluronic acid fillers work by stimulating the body’s natural collagen production. This provides gradual, long-lasting improvements in skin texture and elasticity.
- Longevity: These fillers often deliver results that last longer than traditional hyaluronic acid fillers, making them a cost-effective option for many patients.
- Targeted Results: Non-hyaluronic acid fillers are particularly effective for treating areas prone to significant volume loss, such as the cheeks, jawline, and temples, (as well as in the buttocks, arms, abdomen, hand and other areas .
