For some boomers thrust into employment interviews as a consequence of job losses, it can feel like a tough sell when competing with younger, fresh looking 
candidates. Experience, skills and intellect aside, appearances do matter and unfortunately wrinkles and hollow eyes make many a candidate look harried rather than refreshed and eager to do the job at hand. For a boost of confidence, some women are opting for facial rejuvenation procedures before hitting the interview circuit.
Injectable dermal fillers are designed to replace the lost facial volume that occurs as one ages and can be used for a number of issues such as crow’s feet, laugh lines, brow furrows and marionette lines. Although dermal fillers are temporary, lasting anywhere from a few months to a year, there is little recovery time and virtually no downtime after the procedure.
With all the advances in the facial filler market, there are lots of options to reduce wrinkles and sagging skin, besides the more drastic step of going under the knife. Since few can afford to take on the cost, risk or downtime needed for plastic surgery, injectable dermal fillers are an option to consider.
Selecting a Professional to Inject Dermal Fillers
Selecting an experienced professional is critical since results will vary depending on the injector’s expertise. Unfortunately the increased popularity of the procedure has led to some inexperienced and untrained (or little trained) practitioners offering dermal filler injections. As a consumer, investing in a bit of research before signing on for procedures is a must. Here are a few things to keep in mind when selecting an injector:
1. Injection experience is a critical issue when selecting a physician or nurse for dermal fillers. So as a first step, ask how many procedures they have performed over the last year, and with which fillers.
2. Seek out an individual who is board certified in dermatology, facial plastic surgery or plastic surgery.
3. Ask to see “before and after” pictures of other patients.
4. Ask questions about risks, benefits and alternatives in order to make an informed decision. Don’t simply accept recommendations without all the information.
5. Do not pick a facial filler or injector based on prices. In some cases, the more expensive product may be more cost-effective.
Dermal Fillers Might Not Be the Best Solution
An experienced physician or nurse should first conduct a comprehensive facial analysis in order to recommend the most appropriate procedure and product to address your unique concerns. A qualified provider should give you a realistic assessment, and in some cases, if there is too much sagging, fillers won’t work and other options should be discussed. Many professionals suggest that the optimal age to begin fillers is in 40’s to early 50s.
