Fillers are used to add volume, alter the shape of the face, and fill in wrinkles. Fillers help to restore a more youthful appearance to the skin. Facial fillers and lip fillers are two forms of dermal fillers. Lip injections can be tailored to improve the natural form of the lips and create symmetry. Injectable fillers may be used to boost volume in the cheeks. Facial fillers may be utilized to contour the chin, nose, or jawline in dermal filler treatments. Under eye fillers are also part of dermal filler treatment.
Dermal fillers may be used on a variety of areas of the body, including the face, lips, and hands. Dermal fillers can also be utilized in the neck, palms, and feet. This is an excellent anti-aging treatment that aids patients in regaining their youthful appearance.
There are three main types of dermal fillers:
Collagen-based fillers: Collagen is a naturally occurring substance that adds strength and structure to skin.
Hyaluronic acid-based fillers: Like collagen, hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring material and is mainly used to increase volume and fullness in the skin. They help to restore natural glow and beauty and take good care of hollows and fine lines. Hyaluronic acid fillers are one of the safest fillers available today with minimal to no side effects.
Calcium hydroxylapatite-basec fillers: Calcium hydroxylapatite is denser and heavier than hyaluronic acid. This filler is injected deep under the skin and doesn’t usually cause an immune or allergic response because the material is usually present in bones.
Semi-Permanent Dermal Fillers: Longer-lasting dermal fillers, on the other hand, are made with heavier substances such as a biodegradable synthetic substance called poly-L-lactate. These types of soft tissues fillers are used to temporarily smooth out deep facial lines. They offer semi-permanent effects.
Permanent Dermal Fillers: Permanent fillers are usually made from polymethylmethacrylate acid (PMMA) which are microscopic spheres that are not absorbed by your body. It also contains collagen and is recommended for thicker skin areas such as the nasolabial folds.
The type of filler that a person needs greatly depends on the analysis and diagnosis of their skin type, texture, and condition.
