WHAT ARE DERMAL FILLERS?

Some bumps and depressions can take a very long time to cure, but not the ones on your face!!! Let your skin look plump, bouncy and ever so young with the all new dermal fillers.

Our face is composed of four major tissues—skin, fat, muscle and bone. As age sets in, there is a considerable bone loss giving the face a different look. It may blunt out the sharp angles of your jaws, drop down the nose and make your cheekbones wear out. The muscles also lose tonicity and volume thereby, stretching the skin.

What exactly are dermal fillers?

Dermal fillers are gel based products that can be injected into the skin under to bring back that lost volume. These magically smoothen out all the wrinkles, the lines around the nose and mouth. Fillers can also give you fuller lips. Basically, these are injected in any place where there is a considerable loss of volume.

What are the common ingredients of these dermal fillers?

All the filler materials are medical grade and FDA approved. Commonest among them are as follows-

Hyaluronic acid (HA) – A naturally occurring substance throughout our body, these are basically responsible for keeping the skin hydrated. Hyaluronic acid (HA) fillers last for around 6 to 12 months.

Calcium hydroxyapatite – Primarily strengthens the bones. The consistency of fillers containing calcium hydroxyapatite is thicker than that of hyaluronic acid fillers. These last more than 12 months. The added advantage of calcium hydroxyapatite is that it helps to stimulate the natural production of collagen in the skin.

Poly-L-lactic acid – This material has a capacity to dissolve inside the body. Dissolvable stitches are made from the same material. It helps to treat deep wrinkles on the face and lasts for more than 2 years.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) – Is a synthetic but biocompatible material. The microsphere of PMMA forms a tiny ball and remains below the skin to provide the necessary scaffold. Studies show it provides more firmness and durability.

Autologous fat injection – These filler materials cannot be eplaced without a surgery. For this, fat is collected via a process called liposuction, from the same patient and then injected in the areas that have hollowed out. This is not a simple process and requires highly trained and qualified doctors along with a specialized armamentarium.

Who is the ideal candidate for this procedure?

Men and women, both, are ideal candidates for this procedure. More than a million people in America have fillers. Middle age people, who have started developing wrinkles and fine lines around the nose corner of the mouth, outer corner of the eye on the forehead, due to perpetual frowning can benefit from this.

In short about the procedure – It is a quick, simple and a chair-side procedure, which does not require hospitalization. It is carried out without giving general anesthesia. The skin is numbed just by applying topical anesthetic solution and then injecting volume of fillers under your skin.

You’ll be often amazed by how quick this treatment is and with the instant result, it can rejuvenate your aging, facial beauty. It is advised to reuse filler injections again after 6 to 2 years, after the visible effects have faded away.
